This Little Light of Mine: Shining for Christ in the Classroom

I don't have to tell you that our world is getting darker. Truth is neglected, confusion abounds, and the future feels uncertain. But rather than shrinking back in fear, this is the time to stand and SHINE!

Whether you're in a public school or Christian school, you have the incredible opportunity to shine for Christ & impact students with the light of His love.
Join us in this series as we explore what it looks like to let our little light shine in the classroom - and what we need to make that happen.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS SERIES:

#1: Fueling Your Mission as a Teacher

Most teachers feel discouraged at some point in their careers. Some teachers maybe even feel discouraged daily. Truth: our jobs are difficult and overwhelming. So, even though the idea of shining for Christ sounds good in theory, executing it in real life may feel impossible.

In the latest podcast episode, Linda invites us to make some mindset shifts concerning work, where our focus lies, and how we view discouragement. Plus, you'll learn how focusing on the reason we are here (and why we teach) can change EVERYTHING.

If you want to feel seen in your struggles, shine consistently for Christ, and make a difference in your school, then this podcast has the strategies you need. Listen in today!

Herzog Foundation

This podcast is brought to you in partnership with the Herzog Foundation, which supports Christian education in a variety of ways. One way I highly recommend is their leadership trainings. They offer free, in-person trainings to Christian school leaders on a variety of important topics like donor development, marketing and enrollment, strategic planning, culture building, and more.


Not only are the trainings free, but lodging and meals are also covered by the Herzog Foundation. That means your school's only cost is airfare to get to the event. I've heard first-hand from people who have attended these events telling me that they are fantastic! If you're at a Christian school, check them out at herzogfoundation.com/events and be sure to recommend them to your admins.
