Pedagogy of the Ancestors

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Written from years of lived practice and thoughtful reflection, this book offers fresh language for the sacred vocation of teaching. Reyes reminds us that our greatest lessons are often found not simply in what we say but in how we live, what we model, and the relationships we nurture. He calls us beyond being cycle-breakers to becoming cycle-makers—people who intentionally cultivate hope, wisdom, and possibility for those who come after us. This is an essential read for educators, mentors, pastors, leaders, and anyone who believes their life has the power to shape future generations. Reyes has given us not simply a vision for teaching but a way of living in which the future is always being formed in the practices we embody today. Reyes reminds us that formation is always intergenerational, embodied, and communal—that we do not simply tell stories; we become stories that others inherit.”
