DescriptionWe welcome guest Amy-Jo Smith for a deep dive into the essence of teaching within the church and the broader community. Amy-Jo emphasizes the transformative role of a teacher as a nurturing guide who fosters a safe, inclusive environment where all voices, especially the quieter ones, are heard and valued. Amy-Jo illustrates the power of embodied learning and compassionate care for children with special needs. We delve into the importance of co-learning, observation, and creating a conducive space for growth, aligning with Jesus' own methods of teaching. This conversation is not only a tribute to the gift of teaching but also an insightful resource for those who aspire to serve others through education and understanding in their communities.
