Teacher Demonstrates Unconditional Love in the Inner-City by Deidox Films

What does it take to become a high impact educator? Does it require a thorough knowledge of the latest government standards of education? Does it require a Ph.D. in education? Does a teacher have to work in the most prestigious of academic settings? While these conditions may be helpful, we submit to you that they are not the most important requirements for being a high impact educator. After watching this amazing short story about a teacher named Lindsay, you will see what a profound difference she makes in the lives of her students every day. Lindsay demonstrates the unconditional love of God in her classroom by intentionally demonstrating caring and acceptance for each of her students.  

Maybe you are called to show the unconditional love of God through education.  Even though overtly sharing faith in the public classroom has become restricted and controversial, God still demonstrates His love every day through the affirmations of caring, encouraging, and validating teachers who rely on Him for strength and wisdom as they relate to their students.

Deidox Films shares: ​“How can we show the love of God to people who’ve been mistreated, to those who ‘don’t trust love’ because love has not proven trustworthy? Watch as Lindsay, a teacher at Middle School 223 in the Bronx begins each school year with a message of God’s unconditional love to her students: ‘I’ve been thinking about you all summer. You can’t earn my love. No matter what you do this year, I will still love you.’ Witness Lindsay faithfully walk out those words each day in one of the toughest neighborhoods in America.

Filmed over 5 days in New York, Lindsay was the first Deidox film we ever produced. We were introduced to Lindsay through a friend who went to church with her. Lindsay graciously let strangers follow her around with cameras even though she had no idea what the film might look like, and in the end we were all surprised at how great it turned out. Her heart is big, her soul is filled with love, and her film is still one of our favorites.”
