In this episode of Teach Biblically, Dr. Maggie Pope interviews Jenna LaFlamme, an English and research teacher at Houston Christian School, about how she shows her students that God has something to say about research and speaking.

We first met Jenna at a Summit Biblical Worldview Immersion Conference and reconnected with her a month later for this conversation. In this interview, Jenna and Maggie explore the importance of shaping students' desires through biblical principles, the role of research in a Christian context, and practical steps educators can take to implement these ideas.

They unpack the challenges of teaching science in a secular environment while staying true to faith, offering real-world strategies for helping students connect scientific concepts to God’s design. From practical assessments to seeing science as an act of worship- this conversation is all about equipping educators to bridge the gap between faith and learning in powerful ways.

In this interview, Maggie and Leslie explore the concept of classroom liturgies—routines designed to shape students' desires and worldview. She also shares her experiences teaching pro-life apologetics, the importance of spiritual engagement, and the need for educators to create a culture of learning that connects content to biblical truth.

Following the interview with Leslie, Maggie debriefs the conversation with some hard-hitting, practical wisdom that any educator, at any grade-level, can implement in their classroom.
