From soggy French fries in backpacks to drama-fueled middle school breakups, this episode offers an unfiltered look at the wild things kids say and do, no matter their age. The teachers compare notes on everything from hygiene horror stories and awkward parent-teacher conferences to fire drills gone wrong and the stress of standardized testing (including a literal chicken nugget fire that set off alarms during state exams). They also explore the stark contrast between innocent kindergartners who still believe their teachers sleep at school and hormonal middle schoolers who vape, gossip, and push every boundary. Despite the differences, one truth rings loud and clear: kids of all ages are unpredictable, hilarious, and in desperate need of patient, passionate educators. Bonus laughs come with discussions about students' strange behavior, TMI stories, and the shared trauma of teacher duty—especially during car rider lines and state testing. They wrap with a hilarious game idea: Was it Kindergarten or Middle School? (Spoiler: it could be both.) Teachers, parents, and anyone who needs a good laugh about the reality of the classroom.   Listen now & don't forget to subscribe!

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | June 1, 2025   Referenced Scripture: 10:14-17, Matthew 10:19-20, John 16:7-8 Reflection Questions:1. “Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary use words.” -Saint Francis of AssisiEvaluate this statement. What you like or dislike about it? 2. What has caused you to be hesitant to talk to your friend or neighbor about your story of faith in Jesus? Have you had any positive or negative experiences? Explain. Take time to write out the 3 parts of your faith story… 3. Part 1: My Life before JesusWhat was your life like before you met Jesus? If you grew up in church knowing about Jesus, what was your life before you got serious following Him? 4. Part 2: How I Met JesusHow did you become a Christ-follower? Did you go through a particularly tough time in your life that led you to God? Did a friend invite you to a church service? Did a family member introduce you to Jesus? Did an experience inspire you to fully commit to following? 5. Part 3: My Life since I Met JesusWhat difference has following Jesus made in your life? How has knowing Him impacted how you walk through both the good and the hard times in life? In the sermon we talked about the difference between religion and Christianity was DO vs. DONE. How would you explain this idea to someone who was not a person of faith? Questions to help understand where a person is at on their faith journey: * Do you have any kind of spiritual background?* Do you have a belief in God? What do you think God is like? How did you come to those beliefs about God?* Do you think you are moving toward God, away from God, or staying about the same?* If you were to stand before God and He were to ask you, why should I let you into heaven, what would you say? 6. Reflect: What do you like or dislike about these questions? What questions would you add? 7. Romans 10:14-15, 17 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” ... Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Why would you say it is necessary to use our words to help someone understand the “good news” of the gospel? How would explain the good news to someone with no faith background? What are the things they need to understand in order to make a decision to follow Jesus? 8. Who is someone in your life you could share your story with this week?

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | May 25, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Mark 10:45, John 13:1-17, Luke 18:40-41, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 Reflection Questions: 1. What does serving someone communicate about them? What does it communicate about the one who serves? What makes a lifestyle of serving and focusing on the needs of others difficult? What keeps us from serving others? 2. Why is serving important to the mission of helping people come to know and follow Jesus? 3. Read John 13:1-17. What observations do you make about serving from this example of Jesus? 4. Why do you think Jesus chose to wash His disciples' feet the night before His crucifixion? How would you have felt if you had been there? 5. Why is it significant that God himself took on the task of the lowest slave? 6. Jesus modeled that he is willing to serve people that would betray him, deny him, and desert him. What does this teach us about who we are called to serve? Why can this be difficult? Do you think this is realistic? 7. Jesus served in proximity → those that he had personal contact with. Who are the people in your sphere of influence that you could intentionally serve? Why do you think it might be important to know HOW they need to be served? How can we learn what their real needs are? 8. Jesus served with the POWER of God. How can we access the power of God as we seek to love and serve people? How can praying for people be a tangible way to serve them? How can you know how to pray for people? 9. Jesus promises that we will be blessed if we follow his example. How have you been blessed by serving others? How have you been blessed by others serving you? 10. Who from your sphere of influence do you think God wants you to serve this week? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

This week, we're revisiting a topic & conversion that I've been thinking about a lot lately. I had the opportunity to speak to the public at our local library about Executive Function skills for four different age groups, ranging from early elementary students to adults. In all four groups, we talked a lot about the importance of self-regulation and coping skills to get through challenging times. As we learned from Megan McClelland in the last episode, our ability to persist through challenges is hugely important, even as early as age four. This episode brings our attention specifically to our upper high school students, college students, and young adults. The challenges that teens and young adults face during those years bring all kinds of emotional and logistical hurdles, and having a set of reliable coping tools can make a huge difference in how successful and grounded young people feel during that time.To explore this further, I spoke with Dr. Jackie Wolfman, a therapist based in the Boston area. She teaches her clients coping strategies through DBT—or dialectical behavior therapy. If you're familiar with CBT, or cognitive behavior therapy, DBT is a related approach that also focuses on how our thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT helps people notice and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, while DBT adds tools specifically for managing intense emotions and building practical coping skills. The tools and strategies Jackie shares from DBT are for everyone, regardless of age or mental health needs, so I know that this episode will truly be useful to anyone. I even use these strategies myself!Thank you for listening!

Placement into accelerated mathematics courses can open doors for students, paving the way toward advanced high school coursework, college readiness, and future career opportunities. But ensuring students are placed accurately requires a rigorous, evidence-based approach.  In this episode of the Leading Voices podcast, host Danny Torres talks with Scott Firkins, Director of Assessment Content at WestEd, and leaders from the Palo Alto Unified School District in California, Dr. Guillermo López, Associate Superintendent of Educational Services, and Janine Penney, Manager of Assessment. They discuss how the district collaborated with WestEd to transform its placement process for accelerated mathematics in middle school. The result is a fair and evidence-based mathematics validation process designed to accurately place students in the right course in the mathematics pathway.  Their conversation covers the following topics: Why Palo Alto Unified School District sought to redesign its validation assessment The role of high-quality assessment development and psychometric validation in the redesign  How ensuring transparency builds trust within the community  What early results are revealing about the new process and student readiness and success Transcript Additional Resources PAUSD Validation Test Research Brief (PDF) Palo Alto Unified School District Mathematics Program (Website) Designing High-Quality Assessment Solutions with WestEd (Website) Comprehensive Assessment Solutions (Website)

During Student Takeover Weekend at Cherry Hills Community Church, sCole Hunt shared a powerful message on the parable of the prodigal son, emphasizing God's grace and the open arms with which He welcomes us home. Eva Lorenz followed by drawing wisdom from Proverbs 31, encouraging everyone—especially young women—to pursue strength, dignity, and a life rooted in faith. Bronson Stewart concluded with a bold reminder that students are not merely future leaders but are actively leading today, shaping the church and community right now. Each speaker brought a unique and inspiring perspective, showing how Scripture speaks directly into students' lives and leadership. The weekend was an exciting look at God's work through the next generation to impact the present.

Welcome to a new episode of the WAB Podcast. Today, we're exploring how student leadership, innovation, and the power of science come together to connect and inspire.  Joining us are members of WAB's High School STEMx Club, Grade 11 students Hannah, Utkarsh, and Shane, along with their teacher and advisor, Paul Wagenaar. Together, they share how a group of passionate students reimagined what science learning could look like, culminating in WAB's first-ever interschool Science Day.  STEMx began as a student-led initiative aimed at making science more engaging for younger learners. The group started by running hands-on workshops in the Elementary and Middle Schools. As Hannah, the club's leader, shared: “Last year, we decided to expand our impact.” For her, what makes the club meaningful is its inclusivity: "Some members aren't planning to study STEM in university or pursue it as a career. They joined for their interest." Driven by curiosity and a desire to break stereotypes, like the idea that STEM is only for the ‘smart' or mathematically inclined, the club set out to create a platform that showcased science as creative, hands-on, and socially relevant. The result was Science Day, an inter-school event exploring how science can help solve real-world issues, including challenges faced by refugees.  Utkarsh, who joined after being recruited by Hannah at the club fair, shared his motivation: “I wanted to see if I could use what I learned in the classroom and help other people enjoy it.” Shane added, “We're both very passionate about science and math, so we joined together.”  With encouragement from their advisor, science teacher Paul Wagenaar, the club took ownership of the planning process. “They're very self-motivated,” Paul said. “Many of them even contacted the administration themselves to organize the event.”  But bringing Science Day to life wasn't without setbacks. Faced with low early registration numbers, the team considered cancelling. “It was disappointing, especially for our grade 12 students and Mr. Wagenaar, who wouldn't be here next year,” said Hannah. She recalled nearly giving up—until a mentor reminded her that this was just their minimum viable version. “It won't be perfect, but it's a first step.” It reframed the challenge as part of the process, not the end of it. The team stepped up their efforts, sending out “a hundred messages a day,” and managed to rally enough interest to make Science Day a reality.  “The moment the opening ceremony began, it came to me that it's actually happening,” Hannah reflected. “A very small idea turned out to be so big and successful.” Utkarsh saw the impact in real time: “I saw them actually having fun and being creative. That's what we wanted, people having fun doing science and solving real problems.” Shane, who led a catapult-building activity, added, “I could tell the participants had a lot of fun. That was great.”  For Paul, the highlight was witnessing the students lead the entire process: “Seeing the club members sharing their passion, figuring out ways to solve problems when things went wrong was a joyous moment for me.”  Science Day was about testing ideas, navigating challenges, and seeing how student-led learning can have an impact. It's a reminder of what students can accomplish when given the space to lead. 

Let's be honest—The Hobbit isn't always a crowd-pleaser in middle school, but in this episode, we're sharing how to turn it into a powerful, skills-based exploration of the hero's journey. We dive into using essential questions, shifting focus from content to critical thinking, and using tools like our favorite evidence tracker to make Bilbo's transformation come alive. Plus, we chat about modern pairings and why it's okay if your students don't read every page. This one's all about making fantasy feel relevant, engaging, and fun—for you and your students.Resources:Freebie: Hero's Journey Evidence TrackerThe Hobbit, by J.R.R.

People love to judge and the internet makes it easy. But just because the mob says something doesn't mean it's true. In this episode, Joey Mascio unpacks why we're so quick to jump on the judgment train (whether online or in real life) and why compassion is your secret weapon against the angry crowd. With real-life examples and science-backed insights, teens will learn how to pause, question the story they're being fed, and become the kind of person people trust and respect.

In this episode, psychologist and author of The Crucial Years Dr. Sheryl Ziegler joins me to shine a light on the unique needs and challenges of raising 6-12 year olds - a period often overlooked in parenting conversations, despite being a period of massive emotional, social, and biological development.   Together we explore:   Why puberty is starting younger than ever, what's driving this trend, and how stress and environment play a critical role. How to tell when your child's “teenage” behaviors (like slamming doors or talking back) are developmentally normal versus when they may be signaling something more. How to foster self-esteem and emotional regulation using Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages as a framework. What “industriousness” versus “inferiority” means for kids—and why understanding this distinction matters so much for healthy development. How parenting styles are being shaped by the internet, social norms, and cultural messaging—and how to stay grounded in what your individual child needs. Why the pandemic had a unique impact on kids in this age range and how that continues to show up in surprising ways. Actionable strategies for parents of middle-year kids, including emotional attunement, helping them name and understand nuanced feelings, and how to have brave conversations about tough topics.   With humor, warmth, and deep clinical insight, Dr. Ziegler offers a compassionate reminder that while the middle years may fly under the radar, they are foundational—and your presence during this time matters more than you think.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

We'll talk about how most people grow up learning bad money habits—like impulse spending, borrowing for stuff they don't need, and assuming debt is “normal.” We'll identify those broke-thinker traps and start replacing them with smart, future-focused mindsets. Teens will learn what it really means to live like no one else so you can live like no one else later.Loved this audio? You should see the video version!

When life gets hard—like, failed-a-quiz-fell-into-a-locker hard—it can feel like you're stuck there forever. But that feeling of being stuck is just your brain playing tricks on you. In this episode, Joey Mascio breaks down the concept of permanency—that sneaky belief that things will always be the way they are right now—and why it's not the truth.Joey helps teens recognize that emotions and situations are temporary—even when they feel massive. Backed by brain science and relatable stories, this episode will help teens get perspective, push through hard moments, and remember:

Grief, adversity, and trauma are common, formative human experiences that people move through and grow from. Yet, we often avoid talking about this process, making it harder to understand how people make meaning from grief. Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) offers us a paradigm for how to make sense of hard experiences and move forward in ways that deepen our connections with ourselves and each other. In this episode, teens share their stories and we hear from Dr. Taryn Greene, a research psychologist who works with the Boulder Crest Foundation to study PTG.  Check out Boulder Crest's PTG story challenge, with opportunities to win funding to share your story.

What happens when you hand a mic to a room full of 8th graders and start talking about money? You get insights that are smarter, bolder, and more financially sound than you'd expect — and in some cases, more than most adults can offer. In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my daughter's middle school Career Day, where I spoke about being a money expert and podcaster. But instead of just lecturing, I flipped the script and asked them the big money questions. What I heard blew me away. We'll explore: How a one-quarter financial literacy class (just 45 days!) is shaping the way kids think about saving, spending, and investing Why kids associate money with freedom — and adults with stress Actionable ways parents, guardians, and educators can start real money conversations with kids (without eye rolls or lectures) The simple frameworks I use to teach kids how to spend, save, and give with purpose What my first job as a “toast girl” taught me about assigning value to every dollar Whether you're a parent, educator, or just someone who wants to raise a generation of money-smart kids, this episode will leave you inspired — and ready to start the conversation. Tune in to hear how just a little bit of financial education can go a very long way. What you'll walk away with: Money is about feelings, mindset, and not just spreadsheets. Kids can have a strong financial foundation if taught early. Engaging kids in money conversations empowers them. Every dollar should have a purpose to instill confidence. Teaching kids about money can prevent future mistakes. Financial literacy classes in schools make a difference. Kids understand concepts like delayed gratification and impulse spending. Adults should share their money mistakes to teach wisdom. Saving and budgeting are essential skills for kids. Money management is about balance between spending and saving.
