The Teacher, Be Still Podcast

Balance? In education? Seems like a fairytale. In reality, it's not only attainable, it's vital to your job and your family life.

There's one thing we can do every single day, throughout our day, to boost our mood and get us through the day. What is it? Find out.

Have you ever wondered if your prayers are even being heard? Or are they just falling on deaf ears? You're not the only one to wonder this.

More than you think, more than you know, your colleagues need you. They need to know you're there and that you care about them. Take the time and be intentional . . . you will not regret it.

Sometimes the call to teach goes way beyond the gradebook. Oftentimes, the class roster is an opportunity to change a life.

There seems to be a lot of things we need in this life. But truthfully, there's only one thing we really need.

A familiar verse that carries so much meaning as we walk into our days. So simple, but so incredibly powerful.

Teaching can drain you, and if you're not careful, you could find yourself setting up camp in the valley of negativity. But you do not have to stay there.

There are a few verses in Scripture that I just flast out have a hard time living out. Some days can be harder than others, but one in particular really gets me and it has to do with opposites. Join me as I dig into the power of opposites when it comes to your enemies.

Do you find it difficult to pray? Or maybe you have no idea what to even say? Well, you're not alone. Sometimes prayer can be difficult. Join us as we dig into a super simple method to help you get started.

Some parts of Scripture have been vastly misused and misinterpreted. One of those involves prayer and how we approach God and believe for our prayers to be answered. Are you praying a Wish List Pryaer? Join us as we dig into this topic.

What does constant prayer look like? What does it even mean? Are we supposed to prayer everyday all day? How is that even possible?

Think of your worst enemy. Now imagine loving them. Could you do it? It's a struggle, but crossing that line to loving our enemies is exactly what we are called to do.

Do you ever feel stuck in prayer? There really isn't a right or wrong way to pray. However, Jesus himself gives us some excellent direction when it comes to prayer, and it may just help you in your own personal time.

Do you ever see the hard times you go through as something to be thankful for? I used to never, and the thought of it was laughable to me. I've since realized I have a great deal of gratitude for the trials I've faced.

If the holidays are hard for you, or maybe you just need a little something to get you through the week, try this . . . there is something to be thankful for within each day. It's simple, but it's really all you need.

Isn't it comforting that no matter how much you mess up you have someone in your corner that still thinks you're awesome? I don't know about you, but some days I feel like I can't do anything right.

It's one of my very favorite things to do - build up my colleagues. When things get crazy, over and over, the one thing that has kept me standing is my teacher tribe. They're the only ones that truly know your day to day, so be good to each other.

Do you ever feel like you're battling through your day alone? Like no one understands or sees what you have to go through? Not only are you seen, but you have someone in your corner.

When we make the wrong things the highest things in our lives, things get crazy. It's not easy to keep our priorities in check, but it is so worth it.

Have you ever wished you could get out of your job? Or maybe just a day of it? If you've ever been just totally worn out and wondering if you're the person for the job, you are not alone.

Doubts, questions, arguments . . . all in the name of getting out of something you've been asked to do? Sound familiar? If you're a teacher, this should be very familiar, as you've most likely dealt with it on a daily basis. But it's an old bit . . .

Do you ever question your position? Or feel like you aren't qualified for a task you've found yourself doing? Well, you're not alone in that. Even Moses questioned.
