    2. Mr. Fela | Teaching Beyond the Classroom

    What happens when God redirects a teacher's calling? In this episode, Mr. John Fela—who calls himself the "Swiss Army Knife of Disability Advocacy"—shares how his journey as a classroom teacher eventually led him into disability advocacy, ministry, writing, speaking, and serving families across the country. After his son was diagnosed with severe autism, John found himself walking through some of life's darkest seasons. Through those trials, God transformed his suffering into a ministry of hope, showing that our greatest struggles often become the very place where He calls us to serve. ·Teaching in public, private, and Montessori schools ·Why teachers and parents need to work together ·Raising a child with severe autism ·Finding purpose through suffering ·Disability advocacy and ministry ·Building community during life's hardest seasons ·Why our greatest trials often become our greatest calling ·The hope found in Jesus Christ, even when life doesn't go according to plan --- Website: https://johnfela.com/ Faith Like My Father: https://a.co/d/01RIFHw4 Bill Nye Tours the Ark Encounter with Ken Ham: https://www.youtube.com/live/PPLRhVdNp5M?si=JWJYrDzfAW8JxAEM If you're a parent, educator, church leader, or someone walking through a difficult season, I encourage you to explore John's resources and ministry. --- Call Me Mister Reflection: Sometimes our calling doesn't end when we leave the classroom—it simply finds a new place to serve. --- I'd love to hear from you: If you're a Christian man serving in education—or you know someone whose story should be shared—visit: https://fisherphilbrick.com I'm continuing to build the podcast and would love to connect with you.
