Episode 108 - Weed Whacker Faith

Life is impossible without placing our faith and trust in people, in principles, in practices, in possibilities, in plausibility, and in promises.  The things we would hold onto the most are the things that require faith to let go.  Faith is personal. However, the discipline of faith is very public and shows others a glimpse into our character.   In this episode of the Educators Among Us podcast, host Scott Barron, Chief Reinvention Officer with School Growth, emphasizes the importance of faith in the lives of educators.  He tells the story of a man doing his work, faithfully, while cars zip by perilously close, showing how hard true faith can be to display. On point, he discusses how faith influences behavior, the necessity of trust in educational environments, and the role of encouragement in fostering resilience among educators.  The podcast serves as a resource for educators seeking to thrive in their calling, providing insights and support for their journey..
