What does it actually mean to bring a Christian worldview into education?

In this thought-provoking conversation, Jesica is joined by Billy Hutchinson, Director of Colson Educators at The Colson Center, to explore why worldview matters and how it shapes the way we teach, learn, lead, and engage with culture. Drawing from his experience as a teacher, administrator, and worldview educator, Billy explains how our beliefs influence the way we perceive, interpret, and respond to the world around us.

Together, they discuss identity, calling, truth, critical thinking, and practical ways Christian educators can cultivate worldview formation in their classrooms—whether they serve in public schools, private schools, homeschools, or educational leadership. This conversation will encourage you to think more deeply about the role faith plays in education and how God can use your influence to help students pursue what is true, good, and beautiful.

If you've ever wondered how to faithfully bring your faith into education beyond simply adding Bible verses to what you already do, this episode offers a practical and encouraging starting point.

 Reflect on this question: "How is my worldview shaping the way I see my students, my classroom, and my calling?"

What if the greatest transformation God wants to bring isn't first in your circumstances—but in how you see them?

In this reflective solo episode, Jesica explores the power of perspective and why renewing our minds changes the way we experience difficult students, challenging seasons, transitions, and even our own stories. Through Scripture, personal reflection, and practical encouragement, you'll be reminded that Kingdom educators are called to see differently because Heaven shapes the way we interpret what is happening around us.

Together, we'll explore how fear, disappointment, and discouragement can distort our perspective—and how Jesus invites us to exchange those burdens for His truth. If you've been feeling weary, stuck, or questioning what God is doing in this season, this conversation will encourage you to lift your eyes and ask: "Jesus, what do You see?"

 Next week: Jesica is joined by Billy Hutchinson from the Colson Center for a conversation about worldview and why the way we see the world shapes the way we live, teach, and lead.

Sometimes the greatest healing happens when we begin seeing our story through Heaven’s perspective.

In this powerful conversation, Jesica welcomes back Amber Auger for a deeply honest discussion about identity, healing, surrender, and the ongoing work of Jesus in our lives. Building on the theme that God wastes nothing, Amber shares how the Lord has continued to redeem difficult seasons, reshape old beliefs, and bring freedom in areas she never thought could fully heal.

Together, they explore performance-based identity, truth-telling with God, the power of identity exchange, and what it looks like to allow Jesus to heal the deeper places of shame, fear, and striving. Through personal stories and practical examples, you'll be encouraged to bring your own burdens, questions, and wounds to the One who still restores hearts today.

If you've ever felt stuck, carried shame, struggled with approval, or wondered whether God is still working in your story, this conversation will remind you that Jesus is not finished. He sees you, He knows your name, and He is inviting you into greater freedom and wholeness.

💛 Ask Jesus this week: "What part of my story are You still redeeming?"

Have you ever felt physically present in your classroom… but spiritually or emotionally exhausted underneath it all?

In this heartfelt solo episode, Jesica invites Christian educators into a slower, honest conversation about identity, surrender, and remembering who we truly are in Christ. Building on last week’s conversation about God wasting nothing, this episode explores why our stories matter so deeply to God—and how even the stretching, hidden, and painful seasons may actually be part of His preparation process.

Through Scripture, personal reflection, and Kingdom-focused teaching inspired by voices like Myles Munroe, Jesica unpacks what it means to live as ambassadors of Heaven in the world of education. You’ll be reminded that your identity is not rooted in performance, productivity, test scores, or striving—but in abiding with Jesus. This episode speaks directly to the spiritual exhaustion many educators are quietly carrying and offers hope-filled encouragement to reconnect with God’s perspective over your life and story.

If you’ve been questioning your impact, feeling weary, or wondering if God is still working in your current season, this conversation will help you lift your eyes again and remember: Heaven does not interpret your story through failure—but through redemption. God is still forming something beautiful through your life, and nothing has been wasted.

What if the very things you thought were random, difficult, or “just part of your past” are actually part of the beautiful way God designed your story?

In this heartfelt and joy-filled conversation, Jesica sits down with Marianne Demico from Christian Educators to talk about how God wastes nothing—not your experiences, your risks, your stretching seasons, or even the gifts you may have forgotten you carry. Through powerful stories from an AWAKE event in New York City, Marianne shares how God used pieces of her life from decades earlier to deeply impact teachers in ways she never could have orchestrated herself.

Together, Jesica and Marianne unpack what it means to live as a Kingdom educator on mission with Jesus, trust the long story God is writing, and stop segmenting our lives into disconnected chapters. This episode will encourage you to embrace your unique design, trust that God is weaving every season together with purpose, and remember that even the smallest act of obedience can create ripple effects far beyond what you can see.

If you’ve been feeling weary, unseen, uncertain, or questioning whether your story matters—this conversation is for you. God knows your name, He sees every detail, and He is still writing something beautiful through your “yes.”

This episode is different—it carries weight, conviction, and an invitation into deeper surrender. Jesica sits down with Terry Orange, a JROTC instructor and former Army aviation officer, whose story reveals what it truly means to stand for righteousness in today’s educational climate. Terry shares his journey of boldly living out his faith in a public school setting—even when it led to opposition, false accusations, and a nine-month investigation that could have cost him everything. And yet… God. Through every moment of pressure, God was writing a story of protection, refinement, and Kingdom impact.

As Terry remained faithful, the fruit became undeniable. Students are encountering Jesus, lives are being transformed, and even years later, students are still reaching out for mentorship, truth, and guidance. His story brings into focus what it looks like to stand for truth in a culture that resists it, to navigate spiritual warfare in the classroom, and to choose to fear God over man. It’s a powerful reminder that consistent, obedient presence—anchored in Christ—can produce lasting Kingdom impact far beyond what we can see in the moment.

This conversation doesn’t shy away from the reality that following Jesus is not always comfortable. There are moments when obedience feels costly, when standing for truth feels isolating, and when doing what’s right puts you at risk. But Terry’s journey points us back to this unshakable truth: God is faithful in every part of the process. Even when others intend harm, God is still working for good (Romans 8:28). As believers, we are called to stand firm (Acts 5:29), trusting that there is blessing even in persecution (Matthew 5:11).

If you’re walking through a hard season, let this encourage you: you are not in your school by accident. You are a Kingdom Educator on assignment. And while obedience may require courage, surrender, and even sacrifice, your faithfulness is producing fruit that reaches far beyond what you can see.

If this episode stirred something in you, take a next step:

In this powerful episode of Kingdom Educators, Jesica Glover sits down with educator Trish O’Boyle to share her journey of learning to hear God’s voice and intentionally hosting His presence in her classroom. What began as a simple awareness has grown into a transformative way of teaching—impacting not only her students, but their families, her colleagues, and her own walk with Jesus. Through real-life stories, Trish reveals how God’s presence brings peace, courage, and breakthrough in ways that go far beyond what we can orchestrate in our own strength.

Together, Jesica and Trish explore what it looks like to partner with the Holy Spirit in everyday classroom moments—through listening, surrender, and simple acts of obedience. From practical rhythms like praying over desks and reflecting on where God moved each day, to powerful testimonies of student transformation, this conversation will encourage you to see your classroom through Heaven’s lens. Anchored in truths like drawing near to God and holding fast to hope (Hebrews 10:22–24), and understanding the hope of your calling (Ephesians 1:17–18), you’ll be reminded that His presence is not limited—and it changes everything.

If you’ve ever wondered how to live out your faith in a tangible way at school, this episode will give you both vision and practical next steps. Trish’s story is a beautiful reminder that you don’t have to strive—God’s presence in you is enough. Be encouraged to stand firm (Ephesians 6:13), listen for His voice, and trust that as you carry Him, He will move in ways only He can.
