One of the challenges that keeps people from reading the Bible is that it's difficult to understand. In this message, we continue exploring a three-step process that helps make the Scriptures feel less intimidating and easier to engage with.
In this message we are introduced to a gentlemen you may have never heard of, but we're pretty sure you've heard of his creation. This guy glorified God by persevering through trials, embracing joy in his work, and worked with excellence in all he did. Scripture tells us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. We have the opportunity to live in that joy, work in that joy, persevere in that joy and share that joy with the world around us.

A summer reading lesson is a nice chance to start off the year with a creative tone, while creating some of the norms you want to establish. For today's "Plan my Lesson" series episode, I'm answering requests from two different teachers in search of a back-to-school lesson on summer reading. One teacher's class will have read Scythe, another's The Hunger Games. Both are interested in reviewing the basics of literature as a springboard into the year. So how can we capture students' interest, review some key basics, like symbol, theme, and the hero's journey, give students a chance to show their understanding of the text, and establish a positive, creative tone for the year in a class period? Let's give it a shot together. One of my teacher requesters today is teaching on a block schedule, so we're going to go ahead and plan a longer period. If you're NOT teaching on a block schedule, feel free to split this plan over two class periods. Go Further: Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast. Launch your choice reading program with all my favorite tools and recs, and grab the free toolkit. Join our community, Creative High School English, on Facebook. Come hang out on Instagram.

Almost everyone on the planet has access to the Bible. Many have the ability to read it at their fingertips. The challenge is—how do we read it well? This week, we look at the first of a three-step process for how to read the Bible well.
In this message we meet a lady who sought after justice during her lifetime. She demonstrated love to those who didn't love her, worked tirelessly amidst great opposition, and kept going even when it looked like there was no point. As followers of Christ, we're not just called to do social justice, we're called to do justice that points to the redeeming love and power of Christ by loving mercy and walking humbly with God.

With summer reading season in full swing, she explains how to create your own “book prescription” for better mental health and reconnect with the joy of reading — not as a task, but as a tool for transformation. In this episode, you'll learn: What bibliotherapy is — and why it works. How engaging with fiction can help us heal. How to start your own bibliotherapy practice.
