The Culture of Celebration SeriesIn this second episode of The Culture of Celebration, Jocelynn explores how meaningful, equity-centered celebration goes far beyond seasonal holidays and big events.Real celebration—the kind that builds trust, belonging, and resilience—lives in the micro-moments we notice, honor, and name every single day.As students and educators navigate the emotional highs and lows of the winter season, this episode offers a compassionate, culturally responsive reframing of what it truly means to celebrate one another in ways that feel safe, affirming, and authentically human.This conversation is a continuation of the work we began in Episode 1 and beautifully connects back to your Back-to-School series, “The First 10 Days: Building Classroom Belonging.” It's the perfect mid-year reminder that the roots you planted in August need care, water, and attention in November and December.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why the holiday season requires deeper care and cultural responsivenessJocelynn highlights how disrupted routines, varied cultural traditions, and heightened emotions make micro-celebrations especially powerful in November and December.What micro-celebrations actually are—and why they matterDiscover how tiny, intentional acts of noticing effort, growth, and courage strengthen classroom culture far more than large events or public ceremonies.How cultural competence shapes our understanding of celebrationWe often assume students want to be celebrated the way we prefer to be celebrated. Jocelynn challenges that lens and offers strategies for honoring cultural variation with humility and intention.The essential role of the AnchorED for Achievement and AAA FrameworksLearn how micro-celebrations reinforce Agency, Empowerment, Community, Hope, Opportunity, and Awareness—core components of your instructional and relational practice.Why this is the perfect time to revisit your Back-to-School workJocelynn invites educators to reflect on everything learned during The First 10 Days: Building Classroom Belonging—identity, voice, norms, storytelling—and use those insights to shape mid-year celebrations with greater care and nuance.Download the free Day 1 lesson & activities at: customteachingsolutions.com/btsfreeHow administrators can support teachers through micro-celebrationsSchool leaders receive specific, actionable ideas for recognizing the adults who hold the emotional and community labor of the school.Practical, ready-to-use micro-celebration routinesTry Joy Journals, “We Noticed” boards, one-word celebrations, shout-out postcards, or 30-second video affirmations—simple ideas teachers can implement tomorrow.Reflective Questions for EducatorsWhat small moments did I notice today that are worth celebrating?Which students thrive with public affirmation—and which prefer quiet celebration?How do my own cultural experiences shape the way I define “care” and “celebration”?What norms around celebration did we build in August?

Send us a textWhat holds when everything else breaks? We walk through Job's story to confront loss, fragility, and the stubborn hope that grows where our strength ends. Instead of sugarcoating pain, we name it, sit with it, and ask better questions about God's purpose when explanations don't arrive on our schedule.We start with the shock of Job's total collapse—wealth, status, children, health, and friendship stripped away in a blink—and the mental and spiritual whiplash that follows. From there, we push back on the comfort myth of karma and the cultural idol of self-will. If life is just moral math, grace is unnecessary; if God is only a gift dispenser, faith crumbles when gifts go missing. We offer a different path: begin by thanking God in the middle of hardship. Not because pain is good, but because meaning can precede understanding and sovereignty can steady the soul before answers come.Anchored in Job 6:12, we explore why admitting “I am not brass or stone” is not defeat but wisdom. Human weakness is not a flaw to hide; it's the doorway to dependence. We unpack how depravity humbles our confidence in self-salvation and why new birth turns desire toward God. Along the way, we challenge harmful counsel that suspects secret sin and instead model presence, patience, and truthful encouragement. Strength is made perfect in weakness not by gritting our teeth but by leaning into the One who sustains us when we can't stand on our own.Listen for a grounded, tender exploration of suffering, sovereignty, and hope. If you're weary, wounded, or wrestling with God's will, you'll find language for lament and a pathway to resilient faith.

This week on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I'm joined by Maddie Joy Fischer, whose brand new devotional Rest & Rely: A 60-Day Devotional to Replace Fear, Anxiety, and Worry with God's Truth releases this Tuesday—and truly, the timing could not be more perfect.As the holiday season approaches, fear, anxiety, grief, and pressure have a way of rising to the surface. Maddie courageously shares her personal journey with anxiety, insecurity, control, and fear—including her struggle with health anxiety and a lifelong fear of flying—and how God gently led her into a deeper place of surrender, rest, and reliance on Him.We talk about what it looks like to stop striving in our own strength and learn to live first as daughters, not employees of God. Maddie beautifully unpacks how rest and reliance work together, how healing is often a process, and how God uses even our turbulence to teach us who He truly is.This conversation is full of truth, tenderness, and hope for anyone who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or afraid.✨ Highlighted TakeawaysFear grows when we unknowingly “feed it,” but freedom begins when we starve it with truth.Rest isn't just slowing down—it's learning to receive God's grace in the middle of life's chaos.Relying on God means fully casting, not casting and carrying.Healing doesn't always happen instantly—sometimes God teaches us who He is in the process.We serve best when we first learn how to simply be daughters at His feet.This episode is an invitation to lay down striving, pick up surrender, and rediscover the peace that only comes from truly resting and relying on the Lord.Bio: Maddie Joy Fischer is a 26 year old writer, speaker, and worship leader in St.Louis, MO. She is a wife, the oldest of five siblings, and a born and raised Pastor's kid. She is also an ambassador (writer) for Live Original, Sadie Roberson's ministry. Maddie's passion is to point people to Jesus through living a life of surrender. For 10 years, she has shared this passion on her social media platforms with a desire to see people grow in knowledge of God's word, boldness to proclaim it, and love for the One who it's all about. She continues to take every opportunity she is given to live out the calling God has prepared for her life as He has continues to grow her ministry every step of the way. Anchor Verses:Psalm 23Psalm 34:8Proverbs 3:5-6Connect with Maddie Joy:Website: https://www.maddieejoy.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/maddiee_joyFB: https://www.facebook.com/share/1ABZsv6rrC/?mibextid=wwXIfrMaddie's new devotional, Rest & Rely, releases this Tuesday and is available for preorder now. https://bakerbookhouse.com/products/9781540904010_rest-rely?fbclid=PAVERFWAOVf-5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAafd-lBETrsmzz4LsKDZ-5qXbT6P95ZP6ryDEmfbYIv2xAJIpAeoFqMks98T9A_aem_IyZGOiS6yxGiohsAiBHLtABe sure to grab a copy for yourself—or someone who needs encouragement this season.***We love hearing from you!

Suffering is one of the most difficult realities of living in a fallen world, but Scripture gives Christians real hope. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explains God's purpose in our pain and why believers can trust Him through every trial. Passages covered include Romans 8:28, 2 Corinthians 12:9–10, James 1:2–4, 1 Peter 3:15, and 2 Corinthians 4:16–18. Dave outlines four biblical truths: suffering reminds us of our need for God, refines our faith, becomes a testimony to others, and points us to our eternal hope in Christ. This episode is an encouragement for anyone in hardship: Christ is with you, Christ is for you, and Christ will sustain you. For more from Anchored in the Word please visit:

God's Purpose in Our Pain Show Summary Suffering is one of the hardest realities of life in a fallen world. Yet for the Christian, our pain is never pointless. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins walks through key Scriptures to show how God uses suffering to humble us, refine our faith, bear witness to the world, and point us to eternal glory in Christ. Audio Player Video Player Episode Notes 1. Suffering Reminds Us of Our Need for God Trials strip away self-reliance and drive us to depend on the Lord. 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 — God's power is made perfect in weakness. Suffering humbles us and reminds us that God is in control, not us. 2. Suffering Refines Our Faith James 1:2–4 — “Count it all joy… for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” Trials act like a refiner's fire, purifying our character and growing endurance. Romans 5:3–5 — Suffering produces endurance, character, and hope. 3. Suffering Witnesses to the World When believers endure suffering with hope, the watching world takes notice. 1 Peter 3:15 — Always be prepared to give a reason for the hope that is in you. The early church grew through persecution, showing that Christ is worth more than comfort. 4. Suffering Points Us to Eternal Glory 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 — “This light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.” Earthly suffering is temporary, but eternal life with Christ is forever. Suffering loosens our grip on this world and lifts our eyes to heaven. Call to Action If this episode encouraged you, please share it with a friend and subscribe for more biblical teaching.
