Fresh off our return from The Vault conference with my family, I’m excited to share the powerful lessons I picked up from two incredible communicators: Tony Robbins and Patrick Bet-David. Bothknow how to capture and hold the attention of thousands—but what makes them so engaging?

In this episode, I’ll break down the strategies they use—storytelling, variety, and audience interaction and connect them to the four main learning styles. You’ll see how their approaches aren’t just forbig stages, but can be applied in classrooms, leadership roles, and even everyday conversations.

Most importantly, we’ll reflect on how these ideas tie into faith and our calling to use our unique gifts to inspire and encourage others.

Tune in for practical ideas to bring more energy, connection, and impact into your teaching, leading, and life.

Every teacher and parent has encountered a learner who feels “hard to reach.” Maybe they’re unmotivated, distracted, orsimply not connecting with the lesson.

The good news? Often, the key is shifting how we teach. Learners who struggle in traditional settings can come alive when we move beyond the page and give them something they can touch, build, or do. Hands-on activities spark curiosity and make learning feel real.

In this episode, we’ll explore practical strategies—rooted in learning styles and grace—that help break through barriers to engagement.

You’ll discover:
• How to identify what’s really behind a student’s resistance
• Ways to use learning styles as tools for intervention
• Strategies to motivate and connect with disengaged learners
• Faith-filled encouragement for extending grace when teaching feels tough

At the heart of it all is this truth: every child is created with purpose and is worthy of being reached.

In this episode of The Grace-Filled Classroom, we’re clearing up the confusion and tackling five of the most common myths about learning styles — the ones I’ve heard over and over again in classrooms, homeschool groups, leadership trainings, and ministry settings.

You’ll hear why:

• You are never just one learning style and why labels can limit growth.

• The “science doesn’t support learning styles” argument misses the bigger picture.

• Learning styles aren’t just for kids. They matter at work, at home, and in faith.

• Teaching the way that works best for you can unintentionally leave others behind.

• Struggle doesn’t mean someone isn’t trying. It might mean they need different access points.

I’ll share real-life stories from my years in education, leadership, and parenting, plus practical ways to use learning styles without falling into the trap of oversimplification. This episode isn’t about tossing learning styles out the window, it’s about using them with wisdom, grace, and intention to reach every learner in front of you.

Practical Challenge: Observe someone in your life this week, notice how they learn best, and make one small adjustment in how you support them. You might be surprised at the breakthrough it creates!
