This ongoing Inspirational Teachers Series has been transferred from my previous and personal blog called Missional Education, Absorbing the Mission of God. Missional Education became a key concept from learning how theology intersects life well beyond a classroom. Telos Center came from that to put Missional Education to the test of life. I long to see students learn from inspirational teachers that guide them to God, into God's word, and into God's world for his purposes and glory. Students who are humble and teachable deeply absorb and live by what they are taught and who they trust.

We start with several inspirational teachers of my own from growing up as well as during college and seminary, and I asked them a few questions of what made them such inspirational teachers. They have given me the permission to post their answers, and hope it serves you well. Their classroom teaching resembles their private life, and the hospitality they give through their rigorous schedule delights a young student's heart full of questions.

To them, thank you! To us, absorb!
