Modeling the behavior is a great way to enhance righteous doing without throwing it in someone face. Great job!
Joshua Sugata and Mark Trollinger:
First of all, I want to say thank you for your academic professionalism as both of you have helped me in the past in my online English literature or English composition courses. This short podcast was a great reminder. I post a CWV CAT weekly in all my online classes. I also break up Bible verses as follows into three categories regularly to cover more basics from the point of both medieval English studies and religion: 1) Pentateuch or Books of Moses/Moshe 2) Old Testament/Jewish or Torah 3) New Testament. When teaching Analysis of World Literature or others, if you use Genesis which is an epic and a literature genre, it also covers the beginnings of the Islamic faith through the birth and the journey of Ishmael and his descendants, as well as those of Jacob/Israel and his descendants.
What else can you do? What about agnostics or atheists? How do you include them to be fair? When discussing creation, explore the legend of the African griot as there is a video from Africa on creation, or delve into the math and science greats with short, profound quotes from nursing such as Dr. Diann B. Uustal who I use for my class ethics brief code for ENG-106 or those like Einstein, Michael Faraday, Newton, Pascal or the modern Cosmos shows and quotes from physics and quantum mechanics. As always, ask the students their opinion and do your best to stay neutral as the moderator/facilitator. If you focus on study and library skills and teaching them how to cite, reference and how to be positive, proactive and supportive of their classmates, this is much easier than it sounds.
Thanks so much! Blessings and Lopes up!

P.S. One of Uustal's books is Clinical Ethics and Values: Issues and Insights in a changing healthcare environment. Educational Resources in Healthcare, Inc., Jamestown, RI. 1993. Fifth Printing 2001.
Excellent information provided! A very pertinent topic in the College of Doctoral Studies. I need to listen to all of them.
Thank you,
Betsy
