One thing I'm celebrating from April...


Hey Reader, Welcome to May.💛

I don't know about you, but I cannot believe we're already here. As I'm stepping into this new month, I'm pausing to reflect on April — and to thank God for everything He did. There are so many things I could name, but the one I keep coming back to is this: This past Thursday, I released Episode 50 of The Transformational Teacher Podcast. 🎉

Three years ago, I pressed record on my very first episode with no idea where this journey would take me. I just knew God said to do it. There were so many moments I almost stopped. The insecurities. The seasons of silence. The mic stopped working. The comparison trap. The questioning if anyone was even listening. But God kept whispering: this still matters.

In Episode 50, I’m sharing the journey behind this podcast — the doubts, the pauses, the lessons, and a charge for anyone who’s been questioning if they should keep going with what God called them to do.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not “ready” enough or polished enough to do what God called you to do — this episode is for you. [Click Here to Episode 50.]​

Now I want to hear from you — what’s one thing you’re celebrating from the month of April? Hit reply and let me know — I’d love to celebrate with you. 💛


Let's step into the month of May allowing God to lead us along the journey.

Hey Reader, Hope your week is off to a great start! We had our Pause + Pray Call this week, and if you weren't able to join us live, here's a little of what we walked through together. We started in the Foundation of Prayer, moved into a time of praise, then into this month's word of encouragement: Recharge With Purpose. We talked about releasing and letting go of what's heavy, and giving God all control instead of carrying it ourselves. From there, we prayed through six focuses for this...

Hey Reader, Hope all is going well, and I'm praying you have a great week. I know some of us may be carrying a lot of emotions right now. One question I asked on this most recent episode was: have you ever walked into a new school year already tired, carrying last year's pressure before this year even started? If you find yourself in that moment right now, I want you to know you're not alone. Earlier this week I released a new episode: 5 Shifts to Partner With God and Teach With Intention....

Hey Reader, Hope your week is going great. I wanted to share something with you that my Pastor recently reminded us of, the importance of praise. It got me thinking about this school year, how it will take both prayer and praise to navigate through it. Praising God in advance, before you even see the outcome, is walking by faith and showing that you trust Him with what's ahead. I would love to share more with you... I wrote out this week's full prayer focus in the Teaching With Jesus...
