Kingdom Educators with Jesica Glover

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.

Former High School Teacher David Schmus shares several faith building testimonies of asking God "What are you up to?" and choosing to obey and follow Him into some courageous situations both at his public high school, on the football field, and also in his home! In every situation God showed up and taught David some incredible things about His faithful nature, provision, and protection. *I'm looking forward to following this episode up with another about utilizing our Kingdom Authority at school, so keep an eye out!

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!

51. Connecting with His Power as I Go!

The truth of God's Word trumps our momentary feelings and even our circumstances! In this episode Jesica Glover from Kingdom Educators walks us through clinging to the truth of putting on the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), standing in the power of His Might by contending for the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation through our deepening intimacy with Him (Ephesians 1:17) and continually experiencing the immeasurable greatness of God's power made available through our faith (Ephesians 1:18).
 
 
Don't miss these powerful truths, their application to your teacher perspective and the invitation to come up higher in the ways you view your identity as a teacher on mission. God is has infused you with His power. Are you ready to take up His power and wield it to show off His goodness through incredibly glorious YOU?

50. I'm a Teacher on Mission Part 2 w/April Reuter

Teacher April Reuter joins us, again, for this second half of her testimony of HOW TO BE a Teacher on Mission. Through her practical testimonies we learn that a Teacher on Mission:
1. Make Time to Pursue God & His Presence because we release whatever we carry.
2. Invite God to host His Presence on Your Campus.
3. Envision Your Staff & Students as God Does so that you can pray more accurately. Breakthrough happens when we're not impressed with our problems; instead ask the Lord, "What's going to come out of this?"
4. Start Praying-- over your day, lessons plans, meetings, and throughout the day.
5. Cultivate a spirit of Thanksgiving! Thank God for what He's done and what He will do. A thankful heart is good spiritual warfare against the tactics of the enemy.
6. Find Prayer Partners-- friends, churches, colleagues... and expect God to move!
7. Record the Testimonies to stir up your own faith and expectancy for how God will move and reread them on the tough days. Be amazed at what God has done and know your best testimonies will come out of the fire. Hold onto the promises of God and His goodness and get ready because God loves to "fall" on your willing heart! He's ready to move in and through you at school.
 
 
Be encouraged to grab hold of these testimonies and dream with God about what's possible for your classroom, your school, and your district! All things are possible for he who believes (Mark 9:23) and the prayer of the righteous avails much (James 5:16)! Sky's the limit when it comes into relying on Jesus as your power supply, wisdom, creativity, and breakthrough. Just like April's school, you could even pray that any toxicity in your school environment would leave by praying over the hallways, classrooms, and even the copy machine! God is always at work and He's looking forward to revealing His heart to those who are willing to steward His presence and His name. Fearing God is best kind of fear to walk in each day instead of the letting the fear of man rule out the possibilities of our God to have His way in our schools.
 
 
Please let us know of what you're dreaming with God and what's been happening on your campus! We want to be praying with you and for you for the dreams God lays on your heart to come to pass in your city. jesica@kingdomeducators.com
