Bill Delvaux has been involved in pastoral ministry as a youth minister and church planter, having studied at Duke University and the Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.   In 1992, Bill took a position teaching Bible at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, TN. During that time, he also coached the varsity boys track and cross-country teams.  This is where Bill found his quest for the next twenty years: connecting the truths of the Bible to the hearts of high school students.

For Drew Maddux, head basketball coach at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, the future is always in the background of his coaching efforts. By keeping a vision of what is possible for his team down the road, he's able to take a human-centered approach to coaching. Through fostering connections and trust with his players, Maddux reinforces their potential as individuals, both on and off the court. Building a championship culture starts with all the little things that happen behind the scenes, he says. It's how players tuck in their shirts, walk onto the court, tie their shoelaces, and interact with their teammates. All of those details work in service of a larger vision for them 10 or 15 years in the future, making it possible to groom leaders by reinforcing good practices and habits every day. “We're going to hold them accountable and we're going to make sure there's a clear understanding that accountability is directly correlated with love, not having an agenda, and wanting what's best for them as a human being,” he says.

After studying at Duke University ('79) and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School ('84), Bill was involved for eight years in pastoral ministry as a youth minister and church planter. After the heartbreak of a failed church plant, he took a position in 1992 teaching Bible at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, TN. During that time, he also coached the boys track and cross country teams. Here he found his quest for the next 20 years — connecting the Bible to the hearts of high school students. But toward the end of that time, he began to feel God’s urging to pursue a new quest. This one would be connecting the Bible to the hearts of men. Despite his initial fear and objections, Bill's community of men encouraged him to begin something new. So in 2012, Bill left full-time teaching to begin Landmark Journey Ministries. @warcrynetwork http://www.dublinbiblechurch.com/events Iron Men’s Conference on November 7th”- In person ONLY https://www.accelevents.com/e/TheManHoleVirtualMensConference The Man Hole Virtual Conference on November 21st- ONLINE ONLY To purchase “Heroic” the book To connect with Bill, https://landmarkjourneyministries.com/ The biggest "thank you" you could give to the A New Kind of Man team is to share this episode with others on social media, and face and face.

Ben Ellis, teacher serenaded by students, dies after cancer battle (CNN)A beloved high school teacher whose students gathered outside his window to serenade him has died after a battle with cancer. Ben Ellis, who taught Latin and Bible studies at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, died Friday, said Nate Morrow, the school's headmaster. A few days ago, 400 students from the school showed up outside his home to sing songs of worship when he could no longer teach. Despite chemotherapy and radiation treatments, Ellis taught until earlier this month because the distraction helped him through it. Surprise serenade Last week, he was having a tough morning after receiving bad news about his treatment options, according to Morrow. "The high school principal said, 'Ben has loved us well. Stop what you're doing, load up the buses. We're going to his house to worship with him,'" Morrow said. In a video posted by musician Tim McGraw, the teacher is seen singing along to "Holy Spirit You are Welcome Here" with the students gathered outside his window. "A friend sent this to me today," McGraw wrote. "The entire student body (400+ students plus HS faculty) drove to his house to worship with him."   'Full of hope, peace' The video has been viewed 31 million times since it was posted, and Ellis' friends and family have been posting their stories in the comments. "Ben is my son," Bob Ellis wrote. "Through his ministry and teaching, he has positively touched countless hundreds of lives directly and many thousands indirectly. He, his wife and children are a beautiful family." Morrow said his death affected them all. "He left these words for us, spoken over the students at his house, and I share them with you to guide us now," Morrow said. "He said, 'I love you. I believe now more than ever that God is good, and that He is with us. I am full of hope, peace and joy. I wish all this for you. Look to Jesus to know, to believe, and to be filled.'"   Ellis leaves behind a wife and five children.   Video: Over 400 students sing to Nashville teacher battling cancer   Insights From The Teachers Lounge   We all die but how many us are truly living? Is your teaching career sucking the life out of you or are you using the time to impact others?   Ben Ellis is no longer with us and one day we won't be here either. Make the most out of the opportunities the teaching profession presents to you. One never knows what kind of impact you can have on others. My grandmother, who was a teacher, was honored at a 50th high school reunion. She was remembered as an inspiration and friend to all. What would our students remember about us and our actions? Here's a hint. It won't be about test driven data and meeting state standards for testing.   Get in touch with me by writing teachersloungeshow@gmail.com or by calling our voicemail line at 770-322-4160.
