Flourishing Devotionals
The nine Flourishing devotionals are designed to be used as either personal devotions or for use with your staff as a group devotional. Each is written by a thought leader in Christian education who is also a speaker at the ACSI Flourishing Schools Institute. Each topic aligns with a domain and construct from the Flourishing School Culture Model research and focuses on flourishing for educators.
