Teaching a gift that comes from God
from You Say Hosted by Gina Worten
Gina taught school for ten years, so this conversation is close to home. A few weeks into the school year, she sits down with April, an assistant principal at a Christian academy, to talk about the people we forget to pray for. The honeymoon season is over. Attitudes are coming out, the drama never takes a break, and teachers are carrying curriculum, testing and a classroom full of kids who bring their home lives in the door with them. April says something that stops Gina in her tracks: some of these children have nobody praying for them, and their teacher may be the only person bringing them to the throne room. April is honest about the season she gave everything to other people's children and had nothing left for her own, and about the voice in 2 Corinthians 12 that kept telling her she wasn't good enough. Gina tells about a fifth grader, a homework pad, and the question the Holy Spirit nudged her to ask. Scripture in this episode: 1 Peter 5:8, 2 Corinthians 12:7-9, James 1:5, John 3:30. If you love a teacher, send this to them, and then pray for them by name. Follow the show so you don't miss next Monday. Follow along: @YouSayPodcast
