In this episode with Coach Jimmie Boyd, we talk about everything from the history of Dallas High School football, how it relates to today's high school basketball, the state of education, and much more. We hit on how parents can contribute to their child's learning in school, but also how they can best support the coaches they entrust their children to. Then we talk basketball and running basketball organizations at the youth level. Its a long podcast for a reason ya'll. Give it a listen.

In this episode of Sermons to Myself, we continue the Fruits of the Spirit series with faithfulness. We use the parable that Jesus gives about stewardship to explain how faithfulness is not just about having faith in God, but about stewarding over what he has already given you. We use finances, but towards the end, we talk about stewarding over your time, and being faithful in that. Give it a listen. On my second listen, I got even more than I did when I was recording it.

In our inaugural episode of Music That Saved Me w/ Josiah Devers, we listen to the song, And The Beat Goes On, by The Whispers. Josiah explains to us how this song helped him cope with his father taking a leave of absence from his life. Give it a listen.

In this episode with Assistant Principal Ashaunda Giles. We reminisce on a great time working together as English teachers as part of a dynamic trio. The third party in that trio is coming soon. But we also talk about how education has changed in the Ast 17 years. She gives her opinions about the difference in teachers and administrator personalities from the beginning of her career in education, but she also recognizes the challenges that have made those changes possible. We spend a few minutes talking about standardized testing, and then we hear from God. Give it a listen.

In this episode of Public Servants' Announcements, we talk a lot about how teachers can make their classes more relevant without sacrificing rigor. It is a great follow-up to last week's episode, in which Dr. Bell discussed how he plans on preparing teachers. Mrs. Finley used a very similar method in her classes, and is now using it as an instructional coach at the district level. We also get into living a balanced life and the real focus of the education system. Give it a listen.

In this episode of Sermons to Myself, we continue the Fruits of the Spirit series with Kindness. We use the story of Zacchaeus and Jesus from Luke 19:1-10. We explain the difference, as I believe it to be, between goodness and kindest. I also talk about how I feel some people have let down the Kingdom of God, but it isn't a new thing. It has been happening since Jesus walked the Earth, and his encounter with Zacchaeus is a great example of that.

In this episode of Sermons To Myself, we continue the series on the fruits of the spirit. This episode we use the story of Jesus' "trial" right before his crucifixion and the story of the three friends to explain how we are expected to be meek.
