82. Truthtelling is Self-Care w/Bekah Hutchinson

To wrap up our self-care podcast series this week Jesica Glover invites us into the center of one of her Christian teacher community conversations-- and this week it happens to be with 2nd Grade teacher Bekah Hutchinson from SW Washington. Bekah invites us into her own experience of truth-telling which really hit home this summer when she attended a Christian Educators Leadership retreat where Jamie and Donna Winship invited a group of teachers into some identity exchange experiences with Jesus. This powerful time of encounter has continued for her as she's allowed the Lord to show her who he sees her to be and to allow herself to tell the truth in response-- often called confession. The process, for Bekah (and Jesica), has been powerfully freeing and has proven to minister deeply to their hearts, thus deemed a good took for self-care. Bekah even says, "I think truthtelling the highest form of selfcare." 
 
Our prayer is that our candid conversation would draw you into a deeper personal relationship with the Lord in which you can ask Him who He calls you to be and that in knowing your true identity and continuing to seek out His thoughts toward you (see Jeremiah 29:11 among many others!)-- that you're own heart would overflow with the truth that sets you free (see John 8:32)!
 
And if you're starving to connect with other Christian educators, hear what God is doing, who He's called you to be as a Kingdom Educators, and gain the support you need to stay fired up as a Teacher on Mission be the first to join the Kingdom Educators Community+ Membership HERE... cause the fun begins in December!!

Get Ready to be encouraged... and welcomed into an AWAKE Experience coming to your area SOON! Heather Kohnen, Christian Educators Awake Experience Coordinator, joins us this week to continue our unit of Teacher Heartcare by encouraging us to connect with the faith community, dig into our true identity--- identifying lies and replacing with the truth, and holding onto the realities of we do have faith rights in our schools; yes, even in this hour! As it might be seemingly growing darker this is when the lights grow brighter! But we need to "go" with one another as we enter into an upgrade of "not just surviving, but thriving" as Heather says, as we gather together to recharge, encounter God's presence and voice, and hear real testimonies that will encourage our teacher hearts to run this race with perseverance.

79. Teacher Heartcare Part 1 w/Melinda Wilson

Melinda Wilson with the Immanuel Approach Inner Healing Ministries joins us for a 2-Part Series addressing our Teacher Hearts. Often we don't take time to listen to our hearts, and while serving our students is a daily passion, we must stop to care for our own hearts so we can be good stewards of those under our care. This is how we get unstuck in our classrooms
 
Melinda challenges us to use some simple tools for listening to our hearts and helping students do the same. We are only in control of ourselves, but seeking out healing for what triggers us is a huge step toward breaking us more and more free to live the full life Jesus paid for... AND healing that will impact generations both in our families, schools, and cities! You are worth it... and be sure to HIT PLAY for Part 2...that'll help you step into your breakthrough. bless your socks off!

78. Self-Care Part 2 w/Counselor Jessica Klika

Jessica Klika returns to give us some more practicals for grounding, regulation, remaining in the present, and focusing on slowing down as educators. She talks a bit about identifying our needs with acronym H.A.L.T.S.-- where we ask ourselves am I Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired, or Stressed, right now? Identifying what we need and then seeking to meet those needs is our goal our healthy teachers.
 
Jessica recommends educators read "Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" by John Mark Comer as she says that "we really need to hone in and give attention to rest because slowing down is the key to remaining in the present, which is our goal."

77. Self-Care w/Counselor Jessica Klika

In the middle of our "Teacher Self-Talk" podcast unit former middle school teacher gone counselor, Jessica Klicka, shares some tips and tricks for keeping ourselves well inside and out. As we all know teachers can be notorious for putting off their own needs for those of others, but is this really the right thing to do in the long run? Ignoring the signs our bodies are sending us can lead to some serious health issues all around... so we're needing to tune into the signs our bodies are sending us and regularly checking in with our emotional state to keep us in the healthy lane. It's super important that we're regularly filling our buckets (needs): physical, emotional, and spiritual. After all we are no good as Kingdom Educators to our students (or our educational community, at large) if we're constantly running on empty, right?! Setting healthy boundaries, taking breaks, and utilizing restorative practices are keys to breaking free of the stress cycle that eat at our Kingdom impact, and the JOY of partnering with Jesus in our classrooms. 
 
Jessica Klika comes to us from Cornerstone Christian Counseling out of Boulder Colorado, however she counsels online from her Florida home. God led Mrs. Klicka, a former middle school teacher of 8 years into the world of counseling. Because she's so familiar with the many unique challenges we face in our classrooms, Jessica is a perfect asset to this professional development type episode. We pray this episode encourages you by giving you a "hand up"-- so that you're able to increase your own health by listening to what you need and following up to meet your own needs.

76. Decreeing Truth in the Waiting

Sometimes we have "words" we're holding onto that we haven't seen come to pass yet. What we do with those words matters... it matters how we steward these prophetic words-- whether they're straight from scripture or prayed or prophesied over us. It's our job to hold onto them, pray them, and declare them over ourselves on the darkest days to stir up faith and expectation because "God is not a man that he should lie" (Number 23:19).

75. Agreeing w/God's Thoughts

Declaring the truth over ourselves, our families, and our students is an act of believing the Word of God! Declarations cause our faith to rise and our perspectives to change. In this episode Jesica explains how declaring the truth of God's written word and rhema word have impacted her work in the world of education as well as her personal life, and challenges us press into hearing God's voice for ourselves, in our specific position in education during this season. You are sure to be lifted up with the Letter from Papa God and encouraged to record how you hear God speaking to you through this empowering message.

74. Upgraded Self-Talk

Borrowed from a pivotal teaching on Declarations, Decrees, and Finding Confidence in God in 2020, Jesica addresses a core group of teachers seeking to upgrade their identity as a Kingdom Educator. She begins this episode emphasizing the importance of setting our minds on things above (see Colossians 3:2) for ourselves and our circumstances, and invites us to step into a Kingdom Educator Mindset, which hinges on us knowing our identity as Christ's beloved son/daughter first. Then Jesica moves into testimonies from her own public school classroom in which she helped students step into their God-given identities and the impact this brought to not only the classroom, but their lives as well. Next week we will continue this journey by moving into truth declarations for ourselves and our students.
