I've found that when I sit down on Friday and spend a few minutes planning the next week, I not only get more done but I'm also able to let go of the mental stress and actually enjoy time off over the weekend. Listen as I explain exactly how this works.

Today I'm sharing some insights from Paul David Tripp's book, Parenting that absolutely apply to teaching. Let's talk about the amazing work of God's grace to empower us to teach in His strength.
As I've found my emotions all over the place, I've found comfort in the fact that God cares about our tears and struggles. Join us as we imagine a picture of God as a comforting Father, crying with us and walking with us through this crisis.

In this special episode, Colleen Hoffman shares lessons learned from her challenging journey of watching her baby granddaughter suffer through - and ultimately die from - cancer.
But this episode is anything but depressing. Colleen challenges us to look to God, raise our shield of faith, and trust Him and His definition of good during each moment of our own trials.
I first heard this talk last October, but I listened to it again as I was struggling with my own thoughts & emotions during this current crisis. I knew her wisdom and hard-earned experience would be a huge help to so many of you, and I pray you will be edified in the Lord.

NOTE: We recorded this episode before the current crisis exploded into our world, but as I went back and listened, I found the truths amazingly applicable to what we're all facing today. So I hope this episode will be an encouragement to you.

Sometimes we might wonder if we are in the right school, the right grade level, the right profession - but God has you right where you are for a reason. He didn't make a mistake, and we can rest in that truth.

As teachers, we deal with a plethora of challenges and are often even mistreated. But Christ's example and Paul's admonition in Philippians 2:1-13 can be a huge encouragement for us not to worry so much about what we think we deserve but to instead seek to serve our students and those around us.

Sometimes a situation (whether inside or outside the classroom) feels simply impossible. But nothing is impossible with God, and He can redeem even the messiest of situations.
