Grace Through Truth: Confronting Sin, Leading with Honesty, and Trusting God’s Redemption

Coffee with the Superintendent

In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jack Farmer dives into one of the most challenging passages in Scripture—Genesis 34—as we explore the rape of Dinah, the revenge of Simeon and Levi, and Jacob’s dismay. Through this difficult narrative, we examine the doctrine of total depravity, recognizing the brokenness of humanityand our desperate need for God’s grace and redemption. We also reflect on how Christ’s righteousness in the New Covenant offers us restoration and transformation, replacing our sinful nature with His holiness.

In The Add-Ins, we continue our series on God as the Perfect Leader with Principle #9—God Was Honest with the Hard Consequences. We learn how God’s directness with Adam and Eve about the consequences of sin serves as a model for leadership today—balancing accountability with compassion and offering hope through truth. Drawing from biblical examples like Jesus preparing His disciples for persecution, as well as historic leadership lessons from figures like FDR, we uncover practical ways to lead with honesty and grace.

Whether you’re navigating personal struggles, difficult decisions, or leadership challenges, this episode equips you to trust in God’s justice, embrace His grace, and lead others with truth, love, and hope. Grab your coffee, open your Bible, and join us as we reflect on faith, accountability, and transformation.
