Tori Toran snakket knapt før hun var åtte år. Hun var sjenert. Tilbaketrukket. Sensitiv for både lyd, lys, energier og humørsvingninger. Svært intelligent, men fikk ofte høre at hun var dum. Heldigvis hadde hun dyrene.Nå nærmer seg 50 år, og det er først nå at hun er i ferd med å utredes for autisme og ADHD. For Tori har veien inn i hjelpeapparatet vært lang. Det er ikke det at hun ikke har bedt om hjelp. Det er ikke det at hun ikke har trengt hjelp. Men hun var lenge så dårlig at hun strevde med å finne ordene. Strevde med å vite hva hun skulle be om, strevde med å finne ut hvilke tilbud som var tilgjengelige for henne. Derfor har hun frem til nylig heller ikke fått noen hjelp. Men nå, etter egenterapi og mange gode samtaler med gode venninner, er hun endelig klar for både utredning og forhåpentligvis også: få noen gode verktøy…Akkurat nå er Tori Toran på langtur i varmere strøk.

Andakterna den här veckan tar avstamp i de fem världsreligionerna och har lättja som tema. Idag hör du Karin Brygger som utgår från sin judiska tro. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:Lättja. När jag får temat till dagens andakt blir jag först stum. Lättja – vem ägnar sig åt det priviligierade tillståndet? Inte ens i vår industrialiserade värld ser jag att det finns utrymme att lata sig för den som vill överleva. I stället ser jag att samtidsmänniskan ständigt plågas av stress - eller försök att inte stressa. Tempot är högt och arbetet överskuggar hela våra liv – i denna framåtrusande verklighet vore lättja kanske inte helt fel att ägna sig åt?Eller: låt mig korrigera, inte lättja, men vila i alla fall. Det är förstås inte samma sak.Motstånd mot den så att säga improduktiva latheten, som vi också kallar lättja, är på många sätt helt inbäddat i Toran och judisk tradition. Om vi älskar livet, och verkligen vill leva judiskt måste vi helt enkelt arbeta hårt: ”Det du förtjänat, ska du kunna njuta av. Det går dig väl och lyckan är på din sida”, står det i Psalm 128.Text:Psalm 128PredikarenMusik:The Poet acts av Philip Glass med John LenehanProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Have you ever done something you thought you couldn't come back from? The story of Simon Peter's denial of Christ demonstrates that we don't have to be defined by our failures. Jesus, our savior, lives to intercede for us.

In the story of God calling Moses at the burning bush in Exodus 3, we see that we're not the main character of our story - God is.

We began our series "Twice: When God Calls" looking at the story of Abraham's obedience in Genesis 22. At first glance, God's instruction to sacrifice Isaac can cause us to question his goodness and kindness. But Abraham obeys immediately because he's witnessed God's faithfulness to deliver many times. If you're willing to trust God and obey, you'll always find yourself where "The Lord Provides ".---Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9AM & 10:30AM.

This Easter Sunday, we looked at a meal that Jesus had after his resurrection - after he traveled the road to Emmaus with two disciples (unbeknownst to them). After realizing they'd had this encounter with Jesus, they were forever changed and had to run and share the good news. This Easter, we should be asking: Where is Jesus now? What would happen if I met him on the road? If I ate with him? What would happen to me?---Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9AM & 10:30AM.

How are we willing to align our hearts with Jesus and be his hands and feet today?God's heart for the vulnerable is one of the most common themes in the Bible, and Nehemiah 5 is a great illustration of this. Those of us in the kingdom of God should strive to act as He would, obeying the fullspirit of the law.It is easy to see how this applies today as we navigate recent policy changes, particularly the support of newly resettled refugees in GR. TLC's local partners need the church to come alongside them in prayer and action.

The story of the prodigal son is so beautiful that it's become somewhat of an ideal in culture. The problem with ideals is that we're not sure if they actually apply to us. Have you ever done something you thought you could never come back from? In Week 2 of Prodigals, Pastor Toran helps us see that God the Father is looking expectantly for and ready to joyfully welcome anyone who will turn to him. --- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 8:30, 9:45 & 11:15AM.

In Isaiah 7, God offers King Ahaz the opportunity to trust in him amidst wild circumstances and receive the gift of his presence; but Ahaz rejected it. Years later, when Jesus's earthly father Joseph is faced with the same choice, he humbly accepts this gift of God's presence. This progressive prophesy points us to the ultimate gift God intended for us: Immanuel, God With Us. Each of us today is offered the gift of Jesus, but we have to receive it. It's crazy what both King Ahaz and Joseph were asked to receive in faith - and it's wild what we are offered, as well. But saying yes changes the trajectory of your life and everything around you. --- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 8:30, 9:45 & 11:15AM.

Have you ever seen someone on a path you know will not turn out well, but been unsure if warning them was appropriate? The letter to the church in Thyatira focuses on Jesus as judge, and is a heavy but necessary setup as he does just this. He issues a warning that they must turn from following a false teacher of suffer dire consequences. While sometimes tough to hear, when a warning is issued from a place of love, it says we're going to step in even when it's uncomfortable. -- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 8:30, 9:45 & 11:15AM.

Standing with Christ can and will cost you something, but it's worth it.

True life is found when we lay ours down. Today, pastors Toran and Austin taught together about the difference between decision-making and discernment, reaching a place of holy indifference.

Have you ever felt like your life isn't producing the fruit you thought it would? In John 15, we see Jesus describe himself to his disciples as the "true vine". He says that remaining in Him - abiding with Him - is the key to living a fruitful life that glorifies the Father. How do you sense He wants you to draw closer to Him in this season? --- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 8:30, 9:45 & 11:15AM (EST). Decided to follow Jesus?

There is a strange and compelling power of Jesus's sacrificial and all-encompassing love. This beauty is what Jesus is referring to when, in John 10, he calls himself "the good shepherd". As His sheep, we should emulate Him in laying down our lives for others. --- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 8:30, 9:45 & 11:15AM (EST).

Might pursuing a life of safety on our own hold us back from experiencing the life God has for us? Many of us think that we can create a life of safety and security through our own means. With enough planning and smart decisions, we will be safe. But in John 10, Jesus tells us that He is the shepherd who we go through for refuge and protection in the world. In week 4 of our "I Am" series, we learn that recognizing Jesus's voice and following Him is what give us life to the fullest. Other things that promise safety are illusions - it is only found in Him.

While we wrestle with the disappointment of a different offer being accepted on a building we continue to feel like God has for us, the Bible encourages us to bring those to God and remember God's mighty works. Our birthday presented the perfect opportunity for that.

Kicking off our series I AM, we're examining 7 of Jesus's "I am" statements found through scripture. On Easter Sunday, we see the truth that Jesus IS the resurrection and the life as we read the story of Lazarus being raised from death.

We conclude our Victories & Valleys series by looking at the last written words of David. Who is suitable to serve as a king? David's final words focus on righteousness, justice, and the fear of God while emphasizing David's acknowledgement of needing transformation.

The story of David and Absalom is a story which highlights the need to heed God's warnings and avoid taking matters into our own hands. It highlights the importance of accountability, resisting temptation, and establishing checks and balances in our lives. We need to seek God's help, genuine community, and accountability to prevent falling into the traps of sin and rebellion.

God's covenant with David speaks volumes about who David was, but even more so about who God is. In David's response, we see a model of response that should be reflected in our own lives.

We've all been there. You walk into a class, unveil your lesson plan with all the joy and care of a museum curator lifting the veil on a new Van Gogh, and your students just... don't care. They've got their own problems. Their own stresses. They decided in 4th grade they didn't like reading. In 5th grade that they "weren't creative." In 7th grade that they needed to give serious attention to social media if they wanted to stay cool. And now they're sitting in your class, eyes not-so-subtly glued to the little glowing screen under their desk or the clock above your MLA poster display. So what do you do? In today's podcast, I'll share five different paths you might take to help them tap back into ELA. Choose your favorite, connect the dots on two or three, or try them all. Focus on Connection One way to chip away at apathy is to focus on connecting with students on a personal level. Maybe you come up with fun nicknames for kids you're trying to gently attract back into the ELA sphere. Maybe you make it to some sports games and get to talking with your student-athletes about the season. Maybe you work on some templates for positive notes home, and you send a slew of them every week. Maybe you do some serious student surveying about their interests, past reading lives, favorite types of projects, favorite EVERYTHING, so you can keep their personalities and histories in mind as you design curriculum. When you focus on connection, you help student start to feel more at home in class and more interested in paying attention. The relationships you have with kids can help them overcome their apathy, often in connection with some of the other strategies we're talking about today. One of the quickest, easiest ways to get started with relationship building in my experience is to use Attendance Questions. This quick five minute activity for the start of class is an automatic point of connection with every student. Whether you go with silly or serious questions, you give every student a chance to tell you something about themselves. You can grab three weeks of fun questions to get started for free right here.  Incorporate Student Interests in your Work whenever you Can I was reminded of how crucial student interests can be last year when I interviewed C.J. Reynolds about enjoyable classroom management strategies. He shared his wish that his teachers could have explained the hero's journey to him in terms of the movies he was loving as a teen, and how quickly that would have helped him understand it. C.J. tries hard to keep a handle on the T.V. shows, movies, Manga, etc. that his students love so that he can build it into class content and assignments, and ask kids about it in the in-between times. It's a strategy worth trying. Might your students be excited about writing argument practice about the One Chip Challenge? Might they enjoy analyzing the tone in Taylor Swift Songs? Might they look up in shock when you reference the crazy trend their favorite Tik-Toker just started as you move into your rhetorical analysis unit? Incorporating your students' interests anywhere and everywhere you can will help you build relationships with them (which we already talked about!) and it can also help you reel them in to be more interested in the work. A kid who dreams of being a Youtuber might be a lot more interested in creating a video documentary about a local change-maker than about writing a research paper about a historical changemaker. And you can build in a whole lot of the same skills... Ride your Choice Reading Program to Better Relationships and Motivation As an introvert, it wasn't always easy for me to chat with my students between periods. I wasn't the teacher out in the hall cracking jokes and inventing hilarious nicknames. But once I started working seriously on my choice reading program, it became a major vehicle for helping me connect with my students and motivate them more across all of our class content. I vividly remember my student Toran, in Bulgaria. He seemed to survey our class from some higher plane, smiling ironically at my attempts to engage him and generally staying out of every activity and discussion he could manage to avoid. He was smart, but he didn't really seem to care. After a few reading sessions in our choice reading unit, I realized he was reading nothing but super dense history books, many hundreds of pages long. He was incredibly interested in history, and willing to spend hours poring over it any time he was given the opportunity. Bingo. Our conversations changed entirely. When he realized how eager I was to help him find books that matched his interests, and to hear what he was learning, he warmed up to me and the class in general. I still remember his incredible slam poem about living in Bulgaria from later in the year, when he was one of our class slam winners. What a long way he came. I could tell you a lot of stories like this, but instead I'll encourage you to go and find your own! When you focus significant energy on your reading program, you'll find new ways to connect with kids, see their reading skills, motivation, and stamina improve, AND oten see their interest in your class go up. That's been my experience across classes, years, and even countries. Not sure where to start with independent reading? I boiled down all my best advice and resources into one epic toolkit for you. Grab my free choice reading toolkit here. Choose Projects with a Hook If you've been around here for long, you'll know I think projects can be a powerful motivator for any unit. I like to use the name "Showcase Projects." With a showcase project, students are going to be sharing something amazing that they create, and they're going to be working on that amazing something all through the unit. In fact, that showcase project is going to function as their motivation to learn the skills needed in the unit. To follow up on the documentary project I mentioned before, maybe you're going to host a film festival of short documentaries your students produce at the end of a unit on research and interview skills. As you teach them about hooks, B roll, researching background information on their documentary subjects, building interview questions, effective film angles, media mixing, and more, they'll have a powerful reason to pay attention. Their documentary will soon be competing in your school film festival, and more people will be watching it than just their teacher. Wrapping a poetry unit with a poetry slam, a theater unit with a play performance, a nonfiction unit with a podcast project, a novel unit with a literary food truck festival - these are all examples of connecting a project with a strong hook and an authentic audience with materials students may or may not be excited about at first. I have had consistent success using special projects as a hook to help students get interested in all different types of content, so I can honestly recommend it as a great way to fight against apathy and disconnection. Try Different Types of Texts Sometimes kids who have been turned off to ELA just need another way to engage with a text than a long novel. A novel-in-verse is a great option, and Jason Reynolds has some stellar ones, but so do a lot of other folks! Check out this fun show from last year about a novel-in-verse book club unit that kept seniors engaged all the way to the end of the year in Caitlin Lore's classroom. Book clubs in general can be a great way to reel students back in, since they provide for choice within any genre or theme focus you want to share. A memoir book club with books by people students admire could work well, or an identity book club with titles that students can relate to. Graphic novels are another amazing option. This genre has exploded in recent years, and the research tells us that graphic novels are a major hook for student readers. Swapping in Gareth Hinds' versions of classics like The Odyssey or Romeo and Juliet might help students re-engage, and you can always bring in parts of the traditional text to complement the graphic novel once students have become interested. Then there are all the options available through the media, like National Geographic's amazing series of short documentaries, podcasts, and short films. You can teach ELA skills with such a range of texts, and online multimedia is freely available, so you can always build a short and engaging unit around it to help start a new chapter with students who aren't engaging. Choose your own Adventure You know best which of these pathways might best help you help your students. Maybe it's a combination, but remember, you don't have to put it all in place at once. Try out some attendance questions this week, start working on some content based on students' interests next time you're building new writing or speaking prompts, think about your choice reading program or start previewing some graphic. novels... whatever you can fit, whenever you can fit it. And slowly but surely, I think you'll see more engagement. More students caring. More classes that gain momentum instead of feeling like a struggle.
