The Teacher, Be Still Podcast

Your impact, right where you are is just as valuable as any impact any person can make from a stage. Don't make small the very big space God has for you to fill. Many have asked, so here are some links to connect with the speakers at the Conference: Scott & Vanessa Martindale: Blended Kingdom Families SEVN Therapy @vanessamartindale - on IG @blendedkingdomfamilies - on IG @sevntherapy - on IG...

There is a big move happening in education right now. And with that comes all kinds of extra drama. Drama in schools, in our homes, within our famlies, it's everywhere. If you've been having a hard time at work - you're not alone. Join me for some inspiration and encouragement to stick it out.

I don't know if you can feel it, but there's a move happening in education right now. There's a stirring happening and it is so exciting! Join me as I tell you what I mean about this . . .

I don't know about you, but there are moments in life when I feel like I can't catch a break. It's like one hit after another keeps coming to knock me down. These moments are never easy to live through and sometimes it seems like they may never end. But there is some hope that we can look forward to. Join me as we talk about this!

Do you ever have just really hard days? Where everything feels like it's a moutainous task to complete and everyone seems to just be asking of you more than usual? Well have I got some good news for you. Join me!

It's hard to navigate this world when things get scary or seem out of control. Heck it's hard to navigate our classroom when things get out of control. Join me as we talk about something practical you can do when it seems like there's nothing else you can do.

Join me as I chat with Linda Kardamis from Teach 4 the Heart! She has an incredible organization that has been pouring into teachers for years with practical resources, courses, and tips for maintaining healthy balance in and out of the classroom. She's rooted in the Lord and truly values a relationship with Christ and the incredible impact that can have on our classrooms. In addition to sharing a...

In a world that has so much going on, it can be a challenge just to get through the day for some. But we have a significant strength and refuge from it all. We don't have to live in fear and shrink back from our mission in and out of the classroom.

Savoring the Season is really hard to do when that season is cram packed with stuff to do. Join me as we discuss some tips for being present as we head into Fall!

Let's face it . . . everyone's plates are too dang full. There's so much to do on all the days. But the truth is, there are some things we can let go - some things are simply unnecessary.

Teachers are amazing at so many things! But today I will chat about 2 things that we seriously need to work on. Any guesses?

Looking ahead at what's coming up and putting a plan in place can make the holiday season so much more enjoyable. Join me as we forecast what's coming up and what to do to make the most of it!

We all mess up . . . but I tend to mess up a lot. But I'm not afraid to talk about it, learn about it, and throw myself under the bus. Join me as I tell you 3 of my big missteps and screw ups - and guess what - no one died and everyone graduated!

Mission, ministry, purpose - these words get thrown around a lot and sometimes we can really be blinded by what we think we are supposed to be doing down here on this earth. But the truth is, your mission, your purpose, is so simple. Join me as we dig into why we are even here.

I feel like this episode needs its own acronym for some reason. World Standard for Living . . . wondering what it is? I tell you - it's crap. Join me as we dig into Righteousness and some insight I've gained from one of the most impactful studies I've ever done (twice) - The Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer. If you haven't done it - do it!!

What does Sanctification even mean? Well I thought it meant one thing - turns out, I only knew part of it. And knowing a bit more took a huge weight off my shoulders. Join me as we dig into the deep truths of Sanctificaiton.

It may not be popular opinion, but I LOVE Mondays! I haven't always, but I started doing just a few things that really made all the difference. One of those things has probably scarred some of my students - join me to hear what I did!

We all do it - mindless scrolling on social media. Sometimes it's exactly what we need to detach and detox from the intensity of the day. However, other times, without even realizing it, social media is amping up our anxiety levels little by little.

One big factor that contributes to our stress and anxiety at work and in life is busyness! It's something that plagues our days, and i you have kids it's even more busy! And don't get me started on the insanity that is youth sports . . . well too late . . . I went there.

Join me for an epidsode all about what anxiety adds to your life! If this statement seems backwards to you . . . that's a good thing! We all deal with it on some level, but what exactly is it bringing to the table?

Enduring when we are worn out, emptied, frustrated, and tired is a tall order. But the Bible has a lot to say about what endurance looks like and how we can make it happen.

Using your breaks for what you need is easier said than done. It seems like everything and everyone is vying for all your mintues. But the truth is, your breaks are yours. How you use them is completely up to you. And the truth is, your breaks are a powerful tool in managing stress.

It's not easy to think, act, and be different than the world. It's even harder when social media places everything right at the tip of our fingers. So how do we rise above? How do we combat the highest rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide in our world? How do we do things different? Join me as we chat about what it looks like to not conform to this world.

There's so much happening at Teacher, Be Still this fall & I want to give you some updates! We will be involved in 4 big events happening this September & October - some are in person and some are virtual, but most are FREE!

Whew - sounds like the many hats of a teacher, doesn't it? One of the things I love about Rachael is her willingness to get transparent and do...
