    143. Remain in My Love: Where Connected Teaching Begins

    What would change if you walked into school already secure in how deeply you are loved? Friend, you know Jesus loves you. But what happens to that truth when a lesson falls flat, you receive difficult feedback, or you go home replaying a moment you wish you had handled differently? In this episode of The Connected Educator: Abiding in Jesus, Teaching from His Victory, we slow down with John 15:6–14 and Romans 8:15–16 to explore what it means to remain in Jesus’ love—and let belonging become the place we teach from. We’ll explore: Receiving the Father’s love before trying to prove your worth. Approaching feedback and mistakes from a place of secure belonging. Responding to Jesus through loving, practical obedience. Making room for His joy amid real school-day challenges. Loving students and colleagues from what you receive from Him. You’ll also have space for guided reflection and prayer to bring one moment of pressure to Jesus and consider what changes when you remember you are already loved. A simple practice for your week Return to John 15:9–11 and Romans 8:15–16. Read them slowly or listen aloud. Before entering school or a difficult conversation, pause and remember: I am loved. I belong to the Father. I can respond with Jesus. Then ask: What changes in this moment when I remember that I am already loved?

    Where do you turn when your students need more than you feel able to give? Friend, you care deeply about your students. But caring can begin to feel like carrying everything—and somewhere along the way, you may find yourself teaching as though every outcome depends on you.

    139. Waiting is Not Wasted: Trusting God While Your Story is Still Unfolding

    What do you do when life doesn't make sense yet? In this reflective solo episode, Jesica invites Christian educators into an honest conversation about waiting, trust, and faithfulness in the middle of unfinished stories. Following last week's discussion on worldview, she explores what it looks like to trust God when the next chapter isn't clear, prayers seem unanswered, and circumstances haven't changed the way we hoped they would. Drawing from personal experiences, Scripture, and lessons woven throughout this season, Jesica reminds listeners that faith was never about having the whole map—it was always about trusting the One who does. Through the stories of Abraham, David, and countless Kingdom educators who have shared their journeys this season, you'll be encouraged to embrace stewardship over striving, presence over productivity, and obedience over certainty. If you're walking through a season of transition, disappointment, waiting, or unanswered questions, this episode will remind you that God is not wasting your story. He is not only interested in where He's taking you—He's deeply invested in who you're becoming along the way.

    138. How Christian Teachers Can Bring Faith, Truth and Worldview in the Classroom

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

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.

    137. Seeing Through a Kingdom Lens: How God Changes the Way We See Education

    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?"

    136. When Your Story Starts Making Sense

    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.
