02: Virtual Learning

Guest: Christine Moussa & Russ Kraines

How is God at work in the midst of virtual learning? Tune in for today's conversation with Russ Kraines and Christine Moussa to hear more. This episode is for teachers, parents, and anyone who wants to love their neighbors better in 2020.



  • "I love connecting with students. That's why I got into teaching: to pour into my students and be a positive example for them." -Christine
  • More on Bitmoji classrooms here!
  • "We put our hopes and expectations in God, knowing that He has good things in store for us. Even if we don't see that right away, we can still trust that He is going to make things work for good, knowing that He loves us and cares for us and is faithful." -Christine
  • "God is greater than my unknowns.  This whole year has been a really great reminder over and over that even if I don't know what's going on, God does." -Christine
  • "God is sufficient. God will reveal Himself. We need to wait for God to unfold certain things." -Russ
  • "It isn't new that God works at us up close and at a distance at the same time.  To have that equanimity through it was great." -Russ
  • "Let's not forget the calling that God has placed on us and that He has brought us to this season and... these students 'for such a time as this.'  Regardless of what we have to do to revise our teaching materials, it doesn't change our calling." -Christine
