Hey Reader, ββ 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 season: renewing our minds, asking God to guide our plans, keeping our eyes in the right direction and standing firm, walking in good character, asking for strength and endurance for the road ahead, and praying for God's provision. Some things came up with some outside noise so I didn't get to go through the entire call. At first I wasn't planning to record the ending separately, but I am sensing God wants me to go ahead and share it, so I will be sending the final word of encouragement and commissioning that wraps up this season opener in a follow-up email soon. π Click here to watch the replay on YouTube.β As you listen, give yourself permission to pause and let God meet you right where you are. You will also find the Prayer & Reflection Guide we talked about on the call inside the free Teaching With Jesus Community. Remember, you are not walking into this new year alone. God is with you, He is strengthening you, and He will carry you through. Want to walk through this school year with other teachers who are praying alongside you? This journey was never meant to be walked alone. That's exactly what the free Teaching With Jesus Community on Skool is. Click here to join us!β Praying for you, DβToya Dove |

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...
Hey Reader, Happy July. π I hope you are giving yourself permission to actually rest this month. Not the rushed kind, but the real kind, where you slow down long enough to let God refill you before the next season begins. Last week we gathered for our Pause + Pray Call. It was a gentle time to reflect on the year and hand God what we had been carrying. If you could not be there live, the replay is ready for you whenever you need a moment to pause and be refilled. Watch or listen, whichever...
