The Transformational Teacher Podcast

Hey Transformational Teacher

Take time to reflect, let go and allow God to guide you so you can recharge, reset and return to finish the school year with renewed endurance and strength from God.

Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne.

Philippians 2:13 For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure.

Hey Transformational Teacher: What do you do after a long day inside the classroom to rejuvenate yourself?

Here are a few things I do:

1. Have a moment of silence to myself.

2. I love to listen to music. I even play instrumental worship songs throughout the day at times.

3. At times I go to the gym and read, listen to audio book, music, podcast while on the exercise machines

4. I enjoy watching something funny. (Laughter is good for the soul.)

5. I make sure that I take time show gratitude to God daily for Him helping me make it through the day.

6. Spending time with God by myself right when I get home which has been awesome. (Some days I have to push past the tiredness and frustration. When I do push through in the end I am so thankful and feel better.)

7. Taking a little time to relax before moving to the next thing I need to do.

Hey Transformational Teacher,

In this episode, I talk about what prayer is and what happens when we pray.

• Prayer is communicating with God.
• Prayer is praying God's word over life situations.
• Prayer is listening to what God has to say to you.
• Prayer is showing God that we can't do life on our own and that we need His help.

When we pray as teachers we are surrendering our plan and will to God and receiving what He has for us and our classroom. I believe when we pray we are asking God to have His way in our lives and our classroom.

This weeks tip: Pray God's word over your situations - Make God bigger than your situations - Remain thankful throughout the process

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always and delight in your faith; be unceasing and persistent in prayer; in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

This weeks action steps:

• Set aside time daily to pray for yourself, your classroom and zone in on any students as you feel led.
• Pray and anoint students chairs and desk as much as you can
• Find scripture promises to pray

Hey Transformational Teacher,

Happy New Year! May this year be the time when you surrender your classroom to God and allow Him to have His way in you and your students.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of having a vision for your classroom, yourself as a teacher, and each of your individual students. Writing your vision down helps you stay focused on your goals, regardless of any obstacles or setbacks you might encounter.

Here are some action steps for this week:

• Pray and ask God what His overall vision is for your classroom, your students, and yourself as a teacher.
• Listen attentively for His response and write down any insights you receive.
• Review your notes and write out your vision.
• Keep your vision in a place where you can easily access it.

Habakkuk 2:2-3 AMP Then the LORD answered me and said, "Write the vision And engrave it plainly on [clay] tablets So that the one who reads it will run. "For the vision is yet for the appointed [future] time It hurries toward the goal [of fulfillment]; it will not fail. Even though it delays, wait [patiently] for it, Because it will certainly come; it will not delay.

Hey Transformational Teacher!

I hope this school year is off to a great start, but if it has been as challenging as mine has been then I want to remind you of a few things:

• God is still faithful and He is still right there to help you.
• Stay connected to the vine. Apart from Him you can do nothing.
• Allow the challenge to grow and build your capacity.
• Ask God to help you see things from His perspective and to see the good in each day.
• Walk in humility and allow those God ordained people to help you as you navigate throughout the school year.

Experiencing challenging days inside the classroom doesn't make you a bad teacher. It simply means that you are having some challenging days.

Reflect on what's happening and ask God what you need to do as you continue to journey throughout the school year. God desires to give you wisdom. Be sure to have your ears, heart, and mind open to hear what He has to say. Allow GOD to get the GLORY out of this.

In this episode I share 6 things to do prior to the start of your day:

1. Put on the armor of God - Ephesians 6:10-18
2. Meditate on God's word- Joshua 1:8
3. Pray for yourself, students, families and coworkers -1 Thessalonians 5:17
4. Have time set aside for praise & worship - Psalm 100:4/Psalm 8:1-3
5. Anoint yourself and areas in your classroom- Mark 6:12-13
6. Ask God for the natural and spiritual steps that you need to take daily pertaining to your classroom.- James 1:5/Psalm 32:8

Keep in mind we help to set the tone of our classrooms so we have to make sure we fill our spiritual tank up daily so we can then pour into our students daily.

Action Step: I encourage you to find a few scripture promises to stand and pray throughout your school year. Once you do that I encourage you to pray those scriptures weekly.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 NIV - Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

Looking forward to connecting with you!!!

There is power in reading, writing and praying God's word daily.

In this episode I share 8 reasons you should do this daily.

1. It is one way to strengthen your faith in God and strengthen your spirit man.

3. God's word corrects you and shows you areas in your life that you need to correct.

4. God responds to His word and fulfills His word.

5. It gives you peace, joy, and hope during the different seasons of life you go through.

6. It helps you to focus on the truth of God's word instead of what you see with your natural eye.

7. As you write God's word it helps you to slow down and focus on what the scripture is saying.

8. Reading, writing and praying scripture helps you to memorize and focus on the scripture which will help to renew your mind and get the word of God rooted in your heart.
