60. Honoring the Surrendered Teacher Life w/Julio Vega

For Teacher Appreciation Week we're featuring Julio Vega's story of waking up (literally!!) to the calling of God on his life to be a Teacher on Mission. You'll be invited to reengage with your passionate call to live a life of love laid down for Jesus as you take steps of faith to serve with Him at school just through listening to several of the humble testimonies Julio shares from his teaching experience in south Florida. Be empowered to know that you're not alone in your calling to transform lives with the love Jesus in our school system, that often as Julio reminds us we just be the only "Jesus" or our classrooms may be the only "church" setting our students come into contact with. God is on the move and He's inviting us to partner with Him in planting seeds and harvesting them, too! Be on the lookout as you listen to this episode for ways God IS MOVING at your school and how He is already using you, His Beloved Ambassador.
 
We believe this episode will provide fuel for your tank as you aim to grab a hold of heaven's hopefilled perspective in this hour as Kingdom Educators empowered by the God of the Impossible!!

59. Kingdom Identity Comes with Authority

How do I respond when I see kids acting abnormally and I think it's demonically derived, not just "normal" spectrum behavior? How do I respond when weird things-- even phenomena happen on my campus?At its simplest roots we walk onto our job sites knowing Jesus has already won over sin death and the grave and because we're seated with Him in heavenly places we have indeed won too. In fact, we have the robes of righteousness to prove it. We are seated above all principalities powers and dominion and that Jesus has won over sin, sickness, and the grave. The enemy is under His feet and if I am seated in Him, which is what Ephesians 2:6 says, then the enemy is under my feet, too. The enemy of my soul is subject to me. In fact, Jesus said he gave His disciples the keys to the Kingdom, and we're included! We are ambassadors representing Him as the light and life on the earth. Everyday we get to execute the realities of the Kingdom here on earth in our classrooms, at our schools, in our communities!
Listen in for the practical examples and biblical backing for how we can utilize our God given authority everyday in our classrooms for the Kingdom to rule and reign in our classrooms.
Prayer from Anna Marie Strausand: "In Jesus name, I place ____ in the blood of Jesus Christ today. Lord Jesus, release the power of Your blood over _____. Lord, let Your blood speak today over _____. Lord, Your blood speaks life now into _____. Lord Jesus, Your blood exposes and destroys all darkness operatin gin and around ____. Thank You, Jesus, for Your precious blood!"

58. Positioned to Win

As promised, Jesica Glover presents the biblical backing for walking in our Christ given authority in our classrooms. She starts of the episode with examining how Father God demonstrates that He doesn't call us by what we have or haven't done, but He clothes us with His Royal identity (which comes with a wardrobe) just because we're His Kids! Our Father God clothes us with His royal righteousness, authority and peace. We can call on Him anytime to show us how to execute our true birthright of taking the King's domain into our classrooms, schools, and neighborhoods.
 
Listen in to explore the power of each of the articles the Father gives the Prodigal upon His return: the Robe of Righteousness, the Ring of His Authority, and the Gospel Shoes of (Ready) Peace. Jesica believes we're being offered an invitation to grab a hold of our Royal Wardrobe, repenting of "basement" living to live in the Penthouse, where as Leif Hetland says "is the place we can see from Heaven's perspective." It's time to dress appropriately for our Mission as Kingdom Educators.

56. Co-Creating with God w/Chelsea Vantol Part 2

Have you ever thought about how you could connect with other Christian Teachers in your school, district, or region? Has encouraging other like-minded colleagues been on your heart?
 
In Part 2 "Co-Creating w/God" Elementary Teacher Chelsea Vantol shares with us how other Christian Educators called out the leader in her and now she sees herself in a different light! She's using her creative sense of hearing God's voice to encourage and strengthen other Christian Teachers in her region at a monthly gathering she co-leads on the California Coast! She also spends time encouraging us to take a few moments a day to "speak life" into our students, that the few moments isn't wasted, but building eternal fruit in the hearts and lives of the children we serve and their family's as well. All we have to due is tune into the Author of Creation Himself and begin co-creating with Him in our classroom and school communities! 
 
Please contact me to share your co-creating with God testimonies! I can't wait to hear how the Lord moves your heart to tune in to "speak life" in your part of the world of education. You are a LIGHT wherever you go because the Spirit of Jesus lives inside you.

55. Co-Creating with God w/Chelsea Vantol Part 1

Elementary Teacher Chelsea Vantol from SoCal tried to leave public education, but God clearly had other plans! Listen to learn the first part of her journey of connecting with friend Holy Spirit to begin Speaking Words of Life over her students, set a classroom atmosphere of honor, and create a safe place for kids to make mistakes. I know you will be encouraged as you, too, may have questioned God about staying in public education (or education in general, for that matter!) and yet, God doesn't always call us to take the easy route. He just calls us to be willing to tune in to hear His voice and move with His promptings.
 
I know Chelsea's soft heart to tune into God's voice will encourage you in whatever season you're in as a Kingdom Educator. And please tune in for Part 2 to hear how Chelsea Vantol has stepped into ministering to other teachers like you who have found themselves "on assignment" in our schools.

54. Wins at the Supreme Court w/TPUSA

This week Tony Barton from Turning Point USA brings his wealth of experience as a Kansas legislator to share with us how faith-filled educators are winning cases at the Supreme Court level based on our First Amendment Rights! We discuss the Lemon Laws and how they were abolished almost 2 years ago and how this may have played a big role in these recent cases being won. Listen also to be encouraged by a word from the book of Joshua as Tony reminds us to be Strong and Courageous for the Lord your God is with you and where God makes a way He will provide all that's needed to shine as a light and bring His saltiness to our schools. Tony reminds us that this is an hour to stand tall and not compromise when it comes to absolute truth, yes, even in the public schools! The LIGHT shines brightly in the darkness.

53. Your Teacher Faith Rights w/Christian Educators

David Schmus from Christian Educators launches into this episode with his own teacher to director of Christian Educators testimony. You're going to appreciate his heart's calling to be a light just like you as he also presents to us the heart of Christian Educators: helping Christian teachers to learn about their faith rights in schools.
 
 
Basic points to remember when it comes to student and teacher faith rights in schools: 
Students can do almost anything
Teacher rights are limited, but have some free speech rights
Rights go both ways: can’t be hostile to religion
Guiding principal: Can’t favor (or disfavor) religion. 
Can/Can’t: use flyer

52. Bearer of Good News w/Andrea Brannam

As many know teaching public school in Southern California isn't the easiest when it comes to being a light for Christ in the schools, but kindergarten teacher Andrea Brannam wasn't called into education because it was her career of choice. With the help of wise mentors she finds herself in a strategic place partnering with God to bring His Kingdom as a bearer of His Good News in the world of education! She's learned her teacher faith rights through partnership with Christian Educators, has developed a community of intercessors-- teachers and Mom's in Prayer-- to press forward with the plans God's laid on her heart over the years for her different schools. And one of those nudges that just hasn't gone away has been launching and fostering Good News Club, an after school student club that introduces children to Jesus through curriculum provided by Child Evangelism Fellowship.
 
 
If you're needing a faith boost as you press through hard things as a teacher on mission this is your episode! Since this recording Andrea has faced some opposition in launching a Good News Club at her new school, but the God of miracles has been faithful! This past Wednesday 2/28 she and her prayer partner successfully launched with 13 kids attending and several more filling out permission slips and planning to attend the next! Never despise the small beginnings, Kingdom Educators. God is so excited to partner with our willing hearts.
 
 
Want to learn more about Good News Club and the curriculum? Click HERE. If you'd like to learn more about your Christian Teacher faith rights please visit Christian Educators and visit the Resources tab. Both ministries offer a lot of great support, as Andrea said!
