A special interview with author Kim Sorrelle on her book “Love Is - A Year-Long Experiment of Living Out 1 Corinthians 13 Love.”==========================================

In this episode of 'I Love to Tell the Story', Professors Rolf Jacobson, Jennifer Pietz, and Matt Skinner explore the themes of the Holy Spirit's role in the Christian faith, particularly through the lens of Paul's letter to the Galatians. They discuss the significance of adoption into God's family, the concept of freedom in Christ, and how the fruit of the Spirit manifests in the lives of believers. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community and relationship in living out one's faith, as well as the challenges and realities of spiritual growth. ⏰Timecodes⏰ 00:00 Introduction to the Narrative Lectionary 01:03 The Role of the Holy Spirit in Galatians 04:04 Freedom and Adoption in Christ 06:46 Living Out the Fruit of the Spirit

In this episode, Jesse and Tony dive into the letter of Philemon, exploring its rich themes of forgiveness, reconciliation, and Christian unity. As a follow-up to their study of Colossians, this episode highlights how the gospel transforms relationships and challenges believers to live out their faith in practical ways. Paul's appeal to Philemon serves as a powerful example of applying theology to real-life situations, emphasizing the importance of love and mutual partnership in faith. The discussion unpacks Paul's unique rhetorical approach in addressing Philemon. Instead of commanding him, Paul appeals to him out of love, trusting in his faith and Christian maturity to guide his response to Onesimus, a former slave. Jesse and Tony also reflect on the deeper implications of Christian fellowship, or "koinonia," as a bond that transcends social and cultural divisions, uniting believers in Christ. The episode challenges listeners to consider how they live out the gospel in their own relationships and communities. By highlighting the practical application of Paul's teachings, Jesse and Tony encourage believers to reflect on their own love, unity, and willingness to forgive and reconcile. Key Points: The Fellowship of Faith: Paul emphasizes the shared bond of faith, or "koinonia," between himself, Philemon, and Onesimus, which serves as the foundation for his appeal. Paul's Rhetorical Approach: Rather than commanding Philemon, Paul appeals to him for love's sake, trusting his Christian character and maturity to guide his response. Living Out the Gospel: The letter challenges believers to reflect on how they demonstrate forgiveness, reconciliation, and unity within their own relationships and communities. Questions for Reflection: How does the concept of "koinonia" challenge your understanding of Christian fellowship and community? In what ways can you practice forgiveness and reconciliation in your relationships, as Paul encourages Philemon to do? What does it mean to live out the gospel in practical ways within your own sphere of influence?

In this episode Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Rodney Clapp about the state of Christian life in a time of profound change. Exploring what it means for Christians to live as witnesses to the Gospel in a radically changing world, Rodney looks at the recent history of the Evangelical Church in America, and the longing for a Christian nationalism that reasserts control over the cultural narrative. Rodney offers a radically different set of proposals, of humble practices rooted in a Biblical imagination, that eschew power and the need for control. Rodney is driven by a passion to call churches to rediscover their life and mission by learning to live without power and control. He believes that it is by living out of control that we discern the ways of God and live in anticipation of a new creation - of a healed earth and of a healed people.Rodney Clapp is an author, editor and social commentator. He was a former columnist for The Christian Century as well as a longtime associate editor for Christianity Today. Until 1999 he was the senior editor for academic and general books at InterVarsity Press. He was also an editor with Brazos Press and is currently an editor with Wipf and Stock. His latest book is Living Out of Control, an extended proposal for how, in a post Christian context, Christian life ought to be shaped amidst declining empire and in an age of profound change.LinksFor Rodney Clapp:https://wipfandstock.com/author/rodney-clapp/https://wipfandstock.com/contact-information/BooksFamilies at the Crossroads (1993) A Peculiar People (1996) The Consuming Passion (1998) Border Crossings (2000) The People of the Truth with Robert E.

The Profound Significance of the Last Supper: Essential Lessons for Modern ChristiansIntroduction The Last Supper is a cornerstone event in Christian theology, profoundly shaping the faith's understanding of sacrifice and redemption. This sacred meal shared between Jesus and his disciples is steeped in historical significance and rich with spiritual meaning, offering vital lessons that resonate deeply with believers today.Historical Context The Last Supper occurred during the Passover festival, a celebration of liberation and deliverance for the Jewish people. In this context, Jesus reinterprets the meaning of Passover, foreshadowing his impending sacrifice. During this momentous occasion, Jesus establishes the Eucharist, initiating a new covenant in his blood, which symbolizes the profound connection between God and humanity. This covenant represents a transformational promise of grace and redemption that is central to the Christian faith.Theological SignificanceEstablishment of the Eucharist: The Last Supper is the foundation of Holy Communion, where Jesus breaks bread and shares wine, symbolizing his body and blood given for humanity. This act commemorates his ultimate sacrifice and fosters a deep, personal relationship between believers and Christ. The covenant in the blood of Jesus underscores that through this sacred meal, Christians partake in a divine promise of eternal life and forgiveness.Model of Servanthood: Jesus exemplifies extraordinary humility by washing his disciples' feet, a powerful demonstration of servant leadership. This act challenges societal norms, urging Christians to embrace service and humility in their own lives. The Last Supper calls all believers to reflect Christ's love through acts of service.Emphasis on Reconciliation and Forgiveness: Despite Judas' betrayal looming, Jesus extends compassion rather than condemnation. This highlights the Christian call to forgiveness and the transformative power of love. The covenant in Jesus's blood serves as a reminder that no sin is too great for divine grace.Lessons for Contemporary ChristiansCommunity and Fellowship: The Last Supper underscores the importance of community among Christians. It invites believers to gather, support, and uplift each other in faith, reinforcing the notion that collective worship strengthens spiritual bonds.Living Out the Gospel: The teachings revealed at the Last Supper go beyond mere ritual, urging Christians to embody Christ's love through everyday actions. Demonstrating kindness, advocating for social justice, and living a life of service are all vital expressions of faith inspired by this sacred ritual.Hope and Redemption: The narrative surrounding the Last Supper offers a message of hope, illustrating that through suffering comes renewal and growth. It reassures believers that trials and tribulations can lead to spiritual awakening, rooted in the covenant established by Jesus's sacrifice.Conclusion The Last Supper remains a profound source of theological insight and practical guidance for Christians today. It emphasizes the significance of communion with God through the covenant in the blood of Jesus, the spirit of servanthood, and the paramount importance of forgiveness. These lessons from this sacred meal inspire believers to lead lives grounded in faith, service, and vibrant community, illuminating the path of discipleship for generations to come.

Summary of "New Creation Realities" by Dr. Bryan Hudson (by OpenAI) Dr. Bryan Hudson's sermon, "New Creation Realities," is based on 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, emphasizing the transformative power of being in Christ. The central theme is "All Things New", which highlights how a believer's identity and reality change upon salvation. Key Themes & Takeaways: Being "In Christ" is the Core of Transformation The phrase “in Christ” is the foundation of the believer's new reality. It signifies hope, a factual change, and a solution to life's struggles. All true solutions begin in Christ, as opposed to worldly affiliations or ideologies. The Reality of the New Creation Old things pass away, and all things become new in Christ. This isn't just an improved version of the old self, but a complete transformation. The "if-then" condition: If someone is in Christ, then transformation occurs. Living Out the New Creation Reality Believers are no longer defined by past failures, sins, or mindsets. A shift must take place: Stop holding on to old habits, relationships, or mindsets that contradict the new life in Christ. The "behold" in the passage calls for awareness and recognition of this remarkable change. Transformation is Like a Caterpillar Becoming a Butterfly Just as a caterpillar undergoes metamorphosis, a believer experiences a profound change. The outward appearance might seem familiar, but the nature and capacity have changed. This transformation is an ongoing work of renewal, restoration, and rebirth. Each One, Reach One – An Inclusive Gospel The message of salvation is for anyone who comes to Christ. Christianity is not an exclusive club, but a body where all are welcome. Avoid religious elitism—true faith is about relationship, not just religion. Applying the Reality of the New Creation Being new in Christ means not carrying old baggage into the new life. The church must reflect inclusivity and not build unnecessary barriers. Faith, not feelings, should define identity—believers must trust in what they believe over how they feel. Encouragement to Embrace Transformation Let go of old things—mindsets, habits, even certain relationships that hinder growth. Recognize that God doesn't just give new things; He makes all things new. Trust in the continuous work of God's transformation in your life. Final Message: Dr. Hudson calls believers to fully embrace their new creation identity, let go of the past, and live in the renewed reality of Christ's transformation. The change isn't just superficial—it is a complete reformation of the heart, mind, and life. “I am a new creation in Christ.”

Fellowship As A Spiritual Discipline Introduction Fellowship : a deep, spiritual, and relational bond among believers in Christ, united through the Holy Spirit. Fellowship is often undervalued as a spiritual discipline but it is essential for Christian growth, accountability, and encouragement. Hebrews 10:24-25 - 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 1: Biblical Foundation of Fellowship 1.1. Fellowship in the Early Church Acts 2:42-47 (NKJV) "And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved." Fellowship was not just social but an intentional, spiritual practice. Community: teaching, breaking bread, prayer, and sharing in each other's needs. 1.2. Theological Importance of Fellowship 1 John 1:3 (NKJV) "That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ." Fellowship with one another is rooted in our fellowship with God the Father and Jesus Christ. It's not just about socializing; it's about participation in the life of God through Christ. 2: Fellowship as a Spiritual Discipline 2.1. The Role of Fellowship in Christian Growth Hebrews 10:24-25 (NKJV) "And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." Fellowship is a necessary part of Christian life because it encourages us to love one another and perform good works. Regular gathering in worship and fellowship for mutual encouragement. 2.2. Fellowship as Encouragement and Accountability Galatians 6:1-2 (NKJV) "Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Fellowship involves mutual care, helping each other through struggles, and bearing one another's burdens. 3: Fellowship and the Importance of Community for Spiritual Growth 3.1. Using Spiritual Gifts Within the Community 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 (NKJV) "There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all." Fellowship involves the active use of spiritual gifts to build up the body of Christ. Not isolating one's spiritual gifts but using them in the context of community for the mutual edification of all believers. 3.2. Living Out the "One Anothers" of the New Testament Romans 12:10 (NKJV) "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another." Galatians 5:13 (NKJV) "For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." Ephesians 4:2-3 (NKJV) "With all lowliness and gentleness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Colossians 3:13 (NKJV) "Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do." We all have a call to "one another" living: love one another, serve one another, bear with one another, and forgive one another. These relational commands can only truly be lived out within the community of believers. Fellowship, in community, is where we practice these commands. 3.3. The Community and Spiritual Growth Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV) "As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." Fellowship in community provides the context for mutual sharpening and growth. Accountability, prayer, correction, and encouragement are critical in the spiritual formation of every body of believers. 4: Practical Ways to Cultivate Fellowship 4.1. Intentional Relationships Romans 12:10 (NKJV) "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another." Because we are all so busy, making fellowship a priority is important, creating opportunities for one-on-one and group connection. 4.2. The Role of Shared Meals and Hospitality Acts 2:46 (NKJV) "So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart." Fellowship is deeply connected to shared meals and hospitality in the early church. What are practical ways this could be applied today? 4.3. Prayer and Spiritual Conversations Matthew 18:20 (NKJV) "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Prayer meetings, small groups, and discussing Scripture are ways to cultivate deeper fellowship. 5: The Power of Fellowship for Mission 5.1. Evangelism Through Fellowship John 13:34-35 (NKJV) "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." Fellowship serves as a witness to the world of God's love, drawing others into the faith through the community of believers. Our relationship with each other draws others in. 5.2. The Global Fellowship of Believers Philippians 1:5 (NKJV) "For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now." Fellowship is not just a local practice but a global reality for the church as a whole. Christians are united in the mission of spreading the gospel. Conclusion Summarize: importance of fellowship as a spiritual discipline, its role in spiritual growth, and its impact on mission. How are your fellowship practices and how can you deepen your relationships with fellow believers. Make fellowship an intentional part of your Christian walk, both in personal relationships and in the broader church community.   **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2**   **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2**     **(5:00 – 1:00)** The Mission of the Church The mission is rooted in the Great Commission, the call to make disciples of all nations, as well as the call to love, serve, and witness to our communities. The Great Commission The local church is primarily tasked with evangelizing and making disciples. Jesus gave this clear command in Matthew 28:19-20: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen." (Matthew 28:19-20, NKJV) This mission to go and make disciples is not just for individual Christians but for the collective body of Christ, the church. Every church, whether large or small, is called to be part of this global mission to spread the gospel. The Church as a Witness The local church also serves as a witness of God's love, truth, and holiness to the world. Jesus said in Acts 1:8: "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." (Acts 1:8, NKJV) The local church's mission extends beyond its walls. It is called to bear witness to Christ, not just in its immediate community (Jerusalem), but also to the surrounding areas (Judea and Samaria), and even to the ends of the earth. This requires both local outreach and global mission efforts. The Church as a People of Fellowship and Discipleship A central aspect of the local church's mission is fostering a community where believers can grow in their faith. In Acts 2:42, we see the early church's commitment to fellowship and discipleship: "And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers." (Acts 2:42, NKJV) Through teaching, fellowship, communion, and prayer, the church strengthens its members to live out their faith and equip them to serve in the mission of Christ. A local church is a place where Christians come together to grow deeper in their relationship with God and each other. The Church as a People of Service The local church is also called to serve both its members and the surrounding community. In Galatians 6:10, Paul encourages the church to actively do good: "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith." (Galatians 6:10, NKJV) This service is a practical outworking of the love of Christ. It involves caring for the needy, providing for the poor, and supporting those who are suffering. Serving within the church and in the wider community is part of the mission to represent Christ and His love in tangible ways. Conclusion To sum it up, the local church has a clear and vital mission: to make disciples, to be witnesses of Christ, to foster fellowship and discipleship among believers, and to serve those in need. This mission is not just about activities; it's about living out the gospel in every area of life. As we seek to fulfill this mission, we can be confident that Christ is with us every step of the way (Matthew 28:20).   **(1:00)** Philippians 1:6 – "...being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." – “Thank you for listening today! Giving Thanks should be a daily part of the life of every disciple of Jesus.

As I'm looking back on 2024, there were challenges and opportunities as well as a lot of growth. And as we know, it doesn't happen in a calm and peaceful environment when everyone is content. It happens through storms and sometimes chaos and most of the time through pain, whether big or small. The good thing is, I wouldn't change any of it. Well, maybe except one thing. And I believe I learned valuable lessons. So today's episode is going to be a lot more personal and maybe even raw in some places, but I hope it resonates with those of you who need to hear it at this season in your life. I'm going to share my biggest takeaway from 2024, how I navigated it, and the lessons I learned that I am bringing into the new year.Show Notes:Episode 134 - The Year of Growth: The Biggest Takeaway of 2024Simply Ieva Offers:Digital Masterclass Library “Light the Way to EL Teaching Success”Enlightened EL Educator flyerFree resources - sign up and keep in touch:Accommodate and Modify Your Lessons for ELs with Less than 1 Hour of Planning a Week - classroom teacher and admin checklist Free Audio Training - 3 Mindset Shifts for Instilling and Living Out a Belief that All Teachers are Teachers of Language.ESL Newcomer Teaching ChecklistSave time and build confidence in your EL teaching with these resources:EMBARK™ Newcomer CurriculumThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.Essential Lesson Plan BundleMy TpT storeRecord a comment for us - click HERE.

What is social-emotional learning? And why it is crucial to address it daily with your students, including, if not especially, English learners. SEL or social-emotional learning is the buzzword nowadays, but it is very near and dear to my heart. As an educator, I, and I'm sure many of you, see firsthand how important it is for students to learn not only the content taught at school, but also how to discover and master certain life skills that will help them tackle life's challenges and, of course, access the academic in school. It takes a village to raise a child. Family plays an important role in one's emotional well-being and learning to exist in life, and so do the school and teachers. So today, I want to go back to the basics and give you 5 SEL components to incorporate into your ELL lessons.Show Notes:Episode 133 - 5 SEL Components to Incorporate in Every ELL LessonSimply Ieva Offers:Digital Masterclass Library “Light the Way to EL Teaching Success”Free resources - sign up and keep in touch:Accommodate and Modify Your Lessons for ELs with Less than 1 Hour of Planning a Week - classroom teacher and admin checklist Free Audio Training - 3 Mindset Shifts for Instilling and Living Out a Belief that All Teachers are Teachers of Language.ESL Newcomer Teaching ChecklistSave time and build confidence in your EL teaching with these resources:EMBARK™ Newcomer CurriculumThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.Essential Lesson Plan BundleMy TpT storeRecord a comment for us - click HERE.

Helping English learners access the curriculum of the Language Arts class, which is geared towards native speakers, is one of the challenges many teachers face. There are many linguistic demands that are not easy even for students for whom English is the mother tongue. And for English learners, those demands add extra layers, which require the teachers to, A) have at least the basic background knowledge of language acquisition, and B) understand how to adjust the material to the student's proficiency level. So in today's episode, I am talking about the 3 biggest challenges ELs face in the language arts classroom and provide ideas on how you can help them once you are aware of those challenges.Show Notes:Episode 132 - From Struggle to Success: Helping ELs Thrive in Language Arts ClassroomToday's episode:Digital Masterclass Library “Light the Way to EL Teaching Success”Free resources - sign up and keep in touch:Accommodate and Modify Your Lessons for ELs with Less than 1 Hour of Planning a Week - classroom teacher and admin checklist Free Audio Training - 3 Mindset Shifts for Instilling and Living Out a Belief that All Teachers are Teachers of Language.ESL Newcomer Teaching ChecklistSave time and build confidence in your EL teaching with these resources:EMBARK™ Newcomer CurriculumThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.Essential Lesson Plan BundleMy TpT storeRecord a comment for us - click HERE.

In order to learn something, we need tools that address the way we learn as people as well as help us develop ways of thinking. In recent years, terms like neuroscience and neuroplasticity have become very popular in all fields, including education. What do these terms mean exactly? Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system, including the brain and the neurons, and neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change and adapt throughout life. Sounds simple enough. Right? And when you think about it, this is exactly where the idea of the growth mindset comes from. But in reality, to consciously notice our own behavior patterns and to adjust when something is not working takes effort and willingness to create new habits. And this is exactly what my guest, who also happens to be a repeat guest, Meeghan Carter and I talk about in today's episode.Show Notes:Episode 131 - How Neuroscience Can Transform Your ELL Teaching with Guest Meeghan CarterToday's episode:Digital Masterclass Library “Light the Way to EL Teaching Success”Free resources - sign up and keep in touch:Accommodate and Modify Your Lessons for ELs with Less than 1 Hour of Planning a Week - classroom teacher and admin checklist Free Audio Training - 3 Mindset Shifts for Instilling and Living Out a Belief that All Teachers are Teachers of Language.ESL Newcomer Teaching ChecklistSave time and build confidence in your EL teaching with these resources:EMBARK™ Newcomer CurriculumThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.Essential Lesson Plan BundleMy TpT storeRecord a comment for us - click HERE.

Over the past several weeks, I have been sharing with you three simple accommodations every classroom teacher can make to reach ELs, even newcomers. We talked about why using visuals is essential when working with ELs, as well as what types of visuals to include. We dove into simplifying our language for directions, lesson delivery, and feedback, and why it actually promotes higher order thinking and expression in English. You can listen to those episodes by clicking the links underneath this episode. And in today's episode, I want to talk about the 3rd component that can be confusing, but if executed properly can be a true game changer. I am talking about peer pairing, partnering ELs with supportive peers. You will hear 4 ways you can utilize partnering your English learners with peers, whether native speaking or not, as well as the benefits of this strategy.Show Notes:Episode 130 - Beyond Buddies: How Peer Pairing Empowers ELsDigital Masterclass Library “Light the Way to EL Teaching Success”Free resources - sign up and keep in touch:Accommodate and Modify Your Lessons for ELs with Less than 1 Hour of Planning a Week - classroom teacher and admin checklist Free Audio Training - 3 Mindset Shifts for Instilling and Living Out a Belief that All Teachers are Teachers of Language.ESL Newcomer Teaching ChecklistSave time and build confidence in your EL teaching with these resources:EMBARK™ Newcomer CurriculumThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.Book a $0 Consult Call - Lead ELs to Progress without OverwhelmEssential Lesson Plan BundleMy TpT storeRecord a comment for us - click HERE.

The Joyful Life, Lesson 12, Living Out the Truth | 3 John | Pastor Will Cover

I am bringing you a series of episodes … 3 simple accommodations every classroom teacher can make to reach ELs, even newcomers. They are very targeted and easily digestible so that the tips you hear today and in the previous and coming episodes, you can implement right in your next lesson. We have identified 3 very simple, yet extremely effective accommodations that any teacher can include in any lesson, so that the lesson becomes more accessible to our English learners. Last week, we talked about why using visuals as well as what types of visuals can be included. Today, I want to talk about the second accommodation, simplifying your language for ELs. What does it mean, simpler language? Won't it impede the students' language development? What about higher order thinking that we require our students to engage in daily? I will answer all these questions, as well as provide 6 ways that you can simplify your language in a way that is effective not only for content, but also for language learning. Show Notes:Episode 129 - Why Simplifying Your Language for ELs Leads to Effective Higher Order ThinkingToday's episode:Digital Masterclass Library “Light the Way to EL Teaching SuccessFree resources - sign up and keep in touch:Accommodate and Modify Your Lessons for ELs with Less than 1 Hour of Planning a Week - classroom teacher and admin checklist Free Audio Training - 3 Mindset Shifts for Instilling and Living Out a Belief that All Teachers are Teachers of Language.ESL Newcomer Teaching ChecklistSave time and build confidence in your EL teaching with these resources:EMBARK™ Newcomer CurriculumThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.Book a $0 Consult Call - Lead ELs to Progress without OverwhelmEssential Lesson Plan BundleMy TpT storeRecord a comment for us - click HERE.

How can I help an English learner in a regular education classroom? This question is right there at the top of all questions asked by teachers along with what to teach EL newcomers. We all know that teaching is complicated and consists of a lot of moving parts that are sometimes hard to juggle. And since my mission is to bring you EL teaching tips in a practical and digestible way, so you can implement them in your next lesson, let's talk about what teachers can do to reach ELs, even newcomers, in their classroom. In today's episode, I will go over simple yet powerful accommodations that can and should be included in every lesson. You may have heard about them before, but I wanted to record a series of episodes that will help clarify how they actually look in real life. And in today's episode, I'm breaking down what it actually means to use visuals strategies for supporting ELs. There's so much more to using visuals than just the surface, so you won't want to miss this.Show Notes:Episode 128 - Seeing is Understanding: 5 Visual Strategies for Supporting ELsToday's episode: www.simplyieva.com Free resources - sign up and keep in touch:Accommodate and Modify Your Lessons for ELs with Less than 1 Hour of Planning a Week - classroom teacher and admin checklist Free Audio Training - 3 Mindset Shifts for Instilling and Living Out a Belief that All Teachers are Teachers of Language.ESL Newcomer Teaching ChecklistSave time and build confidence in your EL teaching with these resources:EMBARK™ Newcomer CurriculumThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.Book a $0 Consult Call - Lead ELs to Progress without OverwhelmEssential Lesson Plan BundleMy TpT storeRecord a comment for us - click HERE.

Let's talk about translation in the world of multilingual teaching. It is a bigger topic and covers both the translation of materials in the classroom and translation of school communication with EL families. Today, I wanted to focus on the other side of translation, namely best practices for communicating with EL families of our students who do not speak or understand English, but with whom we need to keep in touch. In this episode, I will review the laws and requirements that the schools must follow when considering hiring a translator, as well as an overview of 4 mistakes that can present very clearly if we decide to use just the bilingual staff instead of professional translators for this purpose.What you will hear about in this episode:Importance of Translation in Communicating with EL FamiliesLaws Governing Translation Services in SchoolsCommon Mistakes in Using Bilingual Staff for Translation and InterpretationWhen to Use Bilingual Staff EffectivelyShow Notes:Episode 127 - When to Use Professional Interpreters vs. Bilingual Staff for Communicating with EL FamiliesSimply Ieva Offers:Free resources - sign up and keep in touch:Accommodate and Modify Your Lessons for ELs with Less than 1 Hour of Planning a Week - classroom teacher and admin checklist Free Audio Training - 3 Mindset Shifts for Instilling and Living Out a Belief that All Teachers are Teachers of Language.ESL Newcomer Teaching ChecklistSave time and build confidence in your EL teaching with these resources:EMBARK™ Newcomer CurriculumThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.Book a $0 Consult Call - Lead ELs to Progress without OverwhelmEssential Lesson Plan BundleMy TpT storeRecord a comment for us - click HERE.

Give it 3 minutes and you won't turn it off.  This is a truly powerful and moving story of a man, a woman, and bevy of children who live a life totally abandoned to God...even in the midst of gut-wrenching sorrow and suffering. If you can listen without being inspired in some way, you may need to check your pulse.  That's all I can say. Matthew

I work closely with content area teachers, and I frequently receive questions from them about how they can help English learners in their classroom. The questions about teaching ELs, frankly, are the same every year. How to help a newcomer? How to assess EL students in the classroom? What activities work well with ELs, especially those at lower proficiency levels? How to engage students, and so on. It is interesting because I wanted to know if there are any other questions that EL teachers get asked. So I polled my Instagram and Facebook communities, and it appears that the general education teachers ask the same questions across the board. What can we do? They ask. How can we help our lovely EL students? So, today, I am re-airing my answers to a few of the most frequently asked questions. While there is no magic bullet to teaching and reaching ELs in a regular education classroom, I hope that you find these answers helpful, especially regarding first language usage in the classroom, translation, and how to help newcomers with reading.Show Notes:Episode 126 - The Top 5 Questions We Get about Teaching ELs - And Here Are the Answers!Simply Ieva Offers:EMBARK™ Newcomer CurriculumThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.

Send us a textA CHURCH ON THE MOVE Springcreek Church | Jerrid Fletcher, Lead Associate Pastor September 15, 2024 #god #realspringcreekchurch #achurchonthemove #church #churchonthemove #handsandfeet #Jesus #faithingod #faithIn this dynamic sermon, we explore what it truly means to be a "Church on the Move." Far from being stagnant or confined within four walls, the church is called to be active, vibrant, and responsive to the needs of the world around it. Through biblical examples and real-life applications, we'll examine how God is calling us to step out in faith, embrace change, and impact our communities in transformative ways. Whether through missions, outreach, or simply living out our faith in daily life, this message will inspire and challenge us to be the hands and feet of Jesus, always ready to move where He leads.---DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Personal Impact of Music: How has music impacted your personal faith journey or experiences within your community? Can you share a song that resonates deeply with you and why it holds significance? 2. Understanding Church Hurt: What are some ways we can address and heal from "church hurt" in our own lives and within our church community? How can we create an environment that fosters trust and acceptance? 3. Going to Church vs. Being the Church: Reflecting on the distinction between "going to church" and "being the church," what practical steps can we take in our daily lives to embody the mission of the church outside of Sunday services? 4. Community Engagement: In what ways can our church community better serve those in need, particularly those who may not feel comfortable entering a church? What outreach initiatives do you think would be most effective in connecting with and supporting these individuals? 5. Living Out the Great Commission: How can we as individuals actively participate in the Great Commission in our daily lives? What opportunities do you see in your workplace, school, or neighborhood to share your faith or support others on their spiritual journeys?

Teaching grammar can be a topic that raises many questions for teachers of English learners, but it doesn't have to be. And as we discussed last week about how to teach grammar to younger English learners, we talked about strategies that work with that age group and answered questions about why we need to teach grammar in general. Today, I wanted to share how you can incorporate effective and meaningful ways to teach grammar to English learners who are teenagers and adults.Show Notes:Episode 125 - 3 Meaningful Ways to Teach Grammar to EL Teens and AdultsToday's episode:The ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.

Whether you teach young English learners or teenagers and even adults, teaching in language involves teaching the grammar of that language. At the same time, it raises many questions for us. What is grammar exactly? Do we need to teach grammar explicitly when working with English learners in English speaking settings? Or do we let the students absorb it through content? If we do teach explicitly, do we have them practice with worksheets or are there any other ways that would make it stick better? How can I teach if I myself am not comfortable with grammar rules and haven't learned them that well? What if I don't know anything about it? Do I still have to teach it? These are just a few questions I have heard regarding teaching grammar. So I decided to record a couple of episodes that will help put you at ease whether you work with younger English learners and teenagers or adults. And today's episode is all about how to teach grammar to younger learners, kids in elementary grades. So let's talk about strategies that will help you teach grammar to them.Show Notes:Episode 124 - How to Teach Grammar to Younger English LearnersSimply Ieva Offers:Today's episode:The ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.

On this weeks episode of the burn, I am extremely grateful to be sitting down with Shannon and Matthew Missimer. The founders of the Motion of Gratitude and friends for over 15 years. Two of the most genuine and intentional people you will ever meet living a life of significance and gratitude through their movement they call practicing “Gratosis.” Shannon shares her insights on writing down thoughts of gratitude to shift perspectives instantly and Matthew emphasizes the significance of gratitude anchors, like his gratitude bracelet and what it stands for.Together, they reveal how living out of one suitcase each for five months led them to realize just how little they need to thrive, fostering a new appreciation for life's simple pleasures.We also spotlight their company, Motion of Gratitude, which aims to bring the practice of gratitude into corporate settings and school systems. They're on a mission to encourage people to slow down, practice gratitude, and put pen to paper.Get Matthew's Book here- https://matthewwmissimer.com/the-paradox-of-having-your-sht-together/Chapters:01:15 - Introducing the Missimers05:45 - Shannon on Writing Down Thoughts of Gratitude12:30 - Matthew on Gratitude Anchors and His Bracelet18:00 - Living Out of a Suitcase: A Lesson in Simplicity25:10 - The Courageous Transition from Corporate to Purposeful Living30:20 - The Birth of Motion of Gratitude36:45 - Redefining Success through Parenthood42:10 - Bringing Gratitude into Corporate and Educational Settings49:00 - Matthew's Book: "The Paradox of Having Your Sh*t Together"55:30 - Creating Experiences and Being Intentional with Gratitudehttps://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet's work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693
