  • What Does it Look Like to Be Equipped by God?

    What Does it Look Like to Be Equipped by God?
    Sep 3 2025
    Teaching is a mission field. No doubt. And many many educators feel called by God to serve in this mission field. But what happens when we arrive in said mission field and we have no idea what's going on or where to start? What happens when we feel like we're drowning or like we can't face another day?

    This is when equipping comes in. And I'm not talking about hours of planning, pd'ing yourself to death, and being up to date on the latest teaching-insta trend. I'm talking about actual equipping . . . from God. What does this look like? How do we become equipped by God? Are you equipped?

    Join me on your favorate streaming platform as we dig into this deep conversation that is sure to light your way and encourage your next steps.

    Every day we have the opportunity to represent something (or someone) and many times we miss the boat. Imitating Jesus is not easy, it's not "normal", it's not what society would have you do . . . but it IS powerful, it IS what we are called to do, and it IS world changing

    Join me as I dig into what it looks like to be imitators of Jesus. How does this approach to our every day make way for life changing moments in and out of the classroom?
