Podcasts about Teach Me

Every great teacher has something students can't find in a textbook: themselves. In this episode of Teach Me, Teacher, Jacob sits down with educator and author Jay Wamsted to discuss how teaching becomes transformational when we stop trying to fit a mold and start embracing our own originality. While Jay's latest novel, The Lockdown Artist, serves as the backdrop for the conversation, the heart of this episode is about the people behind the lesson plans. Jay shares why he chose fiction as a way to wrestle with the questions that have followed him throughout his years in the classroom—questions about belonging, curiosity, relationships, and the kind of schools we're creating for students. Together, Jacob and Jay explore an idea that every educator needs to hear: your personality isn't separate from your teaching—it is your teaching. The stories you tell, the passions you share, the music you love, the way you laugh, and the way you see the world become the "hook" students attach to. Long before they remember your content, they remember you. The conversation is a reminder that students don't need another perfect teacher. They need authentic adults who are willing to bring their whole selves into the classroom. Because when teachers embrace what makes them unique, they create spaces where students feel permission to do the same. If you've ever wondered what truly makes a classroom unforgettable, this episode offers a simple answer: it starts with the courage to be yourself.

Send us Fan MailLeviticus 1–7 records God's instructions for the burnt offering, grain offering, peace offering, sin offering, and guilt offering. These sacrifices allowed Israel to approach God according to His commands and addressed worship, thanksgiving, atonement, and restitution. The offerings were to be brought through the priests and carried out exactly as the Lord commanded. These chapters reveal God's holiness and show that approaching Him required sacrifice and obedience.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.

What was on Jesus' heart the night before the cross? In John 17, we get a rare glimpse into the prayer life of Jesus and discover what mattered most to Him. As we continue our Teach Me to Pray series, we'll see how Jesus prayed from a place of deep relationship with the Father, prayed for His disciples, and even prayed for future believers like us. His prayer reveals God's heart for our unity, joy, protection, holiness, and mission.

Send us Fan MailThe Gospel of Mark presents us with a profound challenge: we cannot truly understand the New Testament without first knowing the Old. This shortest of the four Gospels moves at a breathtaking pace, immediately plunging us into Jesus' ministry with demon exorcisms, healings, and miracles. Yet each of these powerful acts carries deep Old Testament symbolism that we might miss if we don't know the backstory. The demons in the land represent foreign nations oppressing Israel. The healings from fever, leprosy, and lameness reverse the covenant curses of Deuteronomy 28. When Jesus calms the storm on the Sea of Galilee, He's fulfilling Psalm 107 where only Yahweh can still the waters. The irony is striking: while the disciples ask 'Who is this that even the wind and sea obey Him?' the demons immediately recognize Jesus as the Son of the Most High God. Mark is showing us that Jesus is the fulfillment of everything Israel has been waiting for, the One who can remove covenant curses and restore God's people. As we read this Gospel, we're invited to move beyond simply marveling at the miraculous events and ask ourselves: What is the inspired author trying to teach us through these historical moments? Understanding Mark requires us to see how the entire biblical story connects from Genesis to Revelation.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.

Send us Fan MailLeviticus records God's instructions for sacrifices, priests, purity, and worship so Israel could approach a holy God according to His commands.

Friend, if you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of your pain, this conversation is for you.This week on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I sit down with authors Kristen Wetherell and Sarah Walton to talk about their brand-new book, Jesus Will Meet You There, releasing today, June 9th.Together, Kristen and Sarah share deeply personal stories of chronic illness, suffering, mental health struggles, family challenges, and the lessons they've learned about depending on Christ when life doesn't go according to plan.In a culture that tells us to be stronger, try harder, and handle everything on our own, this conversation offers a different message: God never designed us to be self-sufficient. Instead, our weaknesses, limitations, and struggles often become the very places where we experience the compassion, presence, and strength of Jesus most clearly.We talk about anxiety, depression, chronic illness, spiritual dryness, shame, and the pressure many Christians feel to hide their struggles. Most importantly, we discuss the beautiful truth that Jesus is not disappointed by our weakness. He knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust. And He meets us right where we are.If you're walking through a difficult season, carrying a burden that feels heavy, or simply exhausted from trying to hold everything together, I pray this conversation reminds you that you do not have to carry it alone.Jesus will meet you there.One of my favorite truths from this conversation is this:We spend so much time trying to convince ourselves that we should be stronger, more capable, and less needy.But Scripture tells a different story.God created us with limitations—not to shame us, but to draw us into dependence on Him.Our weakness is not evidence that God has abandoned us.Often, it is the very place where He draws nearest.Friend, whatever you're carrying today, remember this:You do not have to be enough.Jesus already is.Bios:Kristen Wetherell is a pastor's wife, mother, and writer.

What if the leadership crisis everyone's talking about isn't a talent problem—but a systems problem? In this episode of Teach Me, Teacher, I sit down with Muriel Summers, founding principal of the first Leader in Me school and a global voice in transforming how schools think about leadership. From her work at A.B. Combs Elementary—twice named the top magnet school in America—to influencing thousands of schools worldwide, Muriel has helped redefine what leadership actually looks like in K–12 education. Missed part 1? Catch it here.  We dig into a bold idea: leadership isn't a title or a personality trait—it's a set of habits that can be taught, practiced, and lived by every student. In a time when schools are navigating staff shortages, budget pressures, and questions about student readiness, this conversation challenges the idea that leadership development is "extra." Instead, it makes the case that it's foundational. Muriel shares real stories, hard truths, and practical insight on how schools can move beyond surface-level student voice and build cultures where every kid sees themselves as a leader. If you've ever wondered why students disengage—or what it really takes to prepare them for life beyond school—this episode will push your thinking in all the right ways.

What happens in early childhood classrooms doesn't stay there—it shows up every day in K–12 schools. In this episode of Teach Me, Teacher, I sit down with Robert Cordero and Tara Gardner to unpack what "universal child care" in New York City really means—not just as a policy idea, but as a lived reality for families, providers, and educators. If you missed part one, check it out here.  We dig into why child care has become both a moral and economic imperative in a city shaped by poverty, workforce demands, and persistent child care deserts. From recent investments and pilot programs to the deeper structural challenges beneath them, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what's working—and what isn't. At the center of it all is a workforce crisis: tens of thousands of educators needed, a system heavily reliant on underpaid Black and Brown women, and a widening gap between Department of Education salaries and community-based providers. We wrestle with the uncomfortable question—can you build a "universal" system on an inequitable foundation? We also explore potential solutions, from free higher education pathways to the hard realities of funding, staffing, and political will. And finally, we zoom out: where is New York leading the way, where is it falling short, and what truths do we still need to confront if we want a system that truly supports children, families, and the educators who serve them? This episode challenges educators to see child care not as a separate issue—but as the foundation everything else is built on.

Send us Fan MailPsalm 118 declares, “This is the day that the Lord has made,” and speaks of the stone the builders rejected becoming the cornerstone. The Gospels show these words fulfilled as Jesus enters Jerusalem and is later rejected and crucified. The crowds cried “Hosanna,” asking for salvation, as Jesus came according to the Scriptures. These passages reveal that the events of the cross and resurrection were according to God's plan, showing His steadfast love and the salvation He brings through Christ.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.

Send us Fan MailThe Gospels focus closely on the final week of Jesus' life, recording His anointing, His entry into Jerusalem, and the events leading to His death and resurrection. A woman anoints Jesus with costly perfume, preparing Him for burial. At the same time, the religious leaders plot against Him. These passages show the contrast between true devotion and rejection, and they lead to the fulfillment of God's plan through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.

The Lord commands Joshua to be strong and courageous and to obey the Book of the Law. God gives victory over Jericho and other cities, showing His faithfulness to His promises. Rahab demonstrates faith in the Lord and is spared, while Achan's disobedience brings judgment on Israel. Joshua shows that success in the land depends on obedience to God's Word and trust in His promises.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.

What happens after we name the problem—but still aren't sure what to do about it? In Part 2 of this conversation on Teach Me, Teacher, I continue my discussion with Jacob Adams, founder and executive director of Inner Spark Learning Lab, moving from diagnosis into action. If Part 1 unpacked the Disconnection Crisis in education, this episode is about what it actually looks like to respond to it inside real schools, with real constraints. We go deeper into the practical side of building connection—not as a buzzword, but as a design principle. Jacob shares concrete ways schools can begin shifting culture, from rethinking daily structures and adult-student interactions to creating spaces where student voice isn't just heard, but shapes the experience of learning. This isn't about adding another initiative. It's about fundamentally reworking how schools operate so that connection becomes the foundation, not the afterthought. We also wrestle with the tension educators feel every day: how do you prioritize relationships and relevance in systems still driven by compliance, testing, and outcomes? What can teachers and leaders actually do tomorrow, even if the larger system hasn't changed yet? If you found yourself nodding along in Part 1, this episode gives you a place to start. It's honest about the challenges, but grounded in real examples of what's possible when schools commit to going deeper instead of just doing more. Because if disconnection is the root issue, then the work ahead isn't just to understand it—it's to rebuild something better in its place.

Send us Fan MailDeuteronomy 14–15 teaches that God's people are set apart as His treasured possession and are called to reflect His holiness in every area of life. Through laws about clean living, caring for the poor, canceling debts, and releasing servants, the Lord shows His compassion and justice. These commands reveal that obedience flows from remembering God's grace and redemption. Holiness is not superiority, but faithful representation—living in a way that displays God's mercy, generosity, and covenant love to others.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.

What happens when the biggest problems in education—chronic absenteeism, failing grades, teacher burnout, and families leaving schools—aren't actually the core issues at all? In this episode of Teach Me, Teacher, I sit down with Jacob Adams, founder and executive director of Inner Spark Learning Lab, to explore what he calls the Disconnection Crisis in education. Check out their Inside Out Summit. March 19- 9:00-1:00 PT. Free virtual conference for folks who want to transform education from the inside out. For years, schools have chased outcomes—attendance rates, test scores, graduation numbers—while layering on interventions meant to fix them. But what if those outcomes are only symptoms of something deeper? Jacob argues that underneath many of the challenges educators face today is a growing sense of disconnection between students, families, educators, and the institutions meant to serve them. Drawing from nearly a decade of work with more than 40,000 Black and Brown young people in South Central and East Los Angeles, Jacob shares how his organization has focused not on scaling fast, but on going deep—rethinking learning environments from inside existing schools. The work centers on a simple but powerful idea: if students don't feel connected to their school, no intervention will stick. Throughout the conversation, we dig into why so many well-intentioned reforms fall short, what educators often miss when trying to improve student outcomes, and how shifting the focus from "fixing students" to redesigning the learning environment can transform the culture of a school. Jacob also challenges some of the dominant narratives in education reform, pushing us to ask whether we're even asking the right questions in the first place. Instead of focusing solely on performance metrics, what might happen if we prioritized relevance, relationships, and student voice? For educators feeling the strain of the current moment, this episode offers both a critique of the systems we work within and a hopeful look at what schools could become when connection moves to the center of the work. If we want schools to truly work for students, families, and teachers, the real question might not be how we fix outcomes—but how we rebuild connection. Listen in.

Is The Greatest Shift in Christian Theology Going From Heaven to Earth?   Heaven isn't the point of the gospel—and N.T. Wright challenges the "accept Jesus and escape earth" narrative of Christianity. Curtis Chang talks with Wright, leading theologian and prolific author, about New Creation and his latest book God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal, asking whether the Bible's promise is the Kingdom of God on earth—or simply going to heaven when you die. They examine the "royal priesthood" calling, what this means for life after death and suffering now, and the true purpose of Christian faith.   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter Learn more about George Fox Talks Register for the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference   03:43 - The Continuity Between Old and New Testaments 05:05 - Reject Platonism and Embracing New Creation? 08:04 - A Vision More Demanding Than The "Ticket To Heaven" Gospel 13:48 - What Does This Mean For Grace, Works, and Human Vocation? 19:53 - Divergence on the Meaning of The Kingdom of God 27:24 - The Problem of Evil and the "Now and Not Yet" 34:59 - A Pastoral Response to Heaven-Focused Theology 40:41 - How Are Heaven and Earth Interlocking Realities? 47:59 - The Royal Priesthood: Humanity's Biblical Mandate 51:47 - Tom Wright's Future Projects and Reflections   Scriptures: Revelation 5:9-10 (ESV) - kingdom + priests reign on the earth Exodus 19:6; Deuteronomy 7:6; 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV) - royal priesthood Genesis 1-2 (ESV) - creation "very good"; humanity's vocation Revelation 21–22 (ESV) - new heaven/new earth; God dwelling with humanity Romans 12:2 (ESV) - renewing of the mind Romans 8:21–23 (ESV) - creation set free; redemption of bodies Malachi 3:1 + Isaiah 40:3 (ESV) - prepare the way; the Lord coming to his temple Psalm 8 (ESV) - humanity crowned with glory/honor; vocation Ephesians 4 (ESV) - new humanity; community ethics   Mentioned in This Episode: N.T.
