In this Back-to-School episode, we have our first podcast guest, Mr. Eric Anthony. Eric has been in education for 18 years, first as an elementary and middle school teacher, and most recently as an elementary school assistant principal. We chat about some of the challenges Christian teachers and administrators are facing in public schools in particular, how to support teachers and staff, and practical ways to support your child as the new school year gets started. I also share about my favorite school-aged parent resource, Honest Prayers for Mama Bears, that I personally use and have shared with many friends and family members to use in their own homes.

In This Episode:

• Conversations with a veteran in education
• Challenges and joys of being a Christian Educator today
• Practical ways you can support our Christian brothers and sisters in education
• Ways to support your own child as the school year starts
• Information on how technology is being used as a tool and as a potential distraction with school-aged children
• Sharing the blessing of the book, Honest Prayers for Mama Bears (and for Papa Bears too!)

Episode 2: Brewing Knowledge Without Another Degree

In this second episode, I share how I have been able to continue my education in apologetics by fitting it “in the cracks” of my life: the little moments in between my other commitments as a wife, mother, and teacher. We will discuss non-traditional ways (outside of getting another degree) to be further equipped, and give a few examples of where you can start on your own training–even if it's just “in the cracks.”

In This Episode:

• Benefits of starting with podcasts and books
• Training through different ministries vs a program
• Process of auditing classes and my experiences
• Looking a certificates as a stand-alone or addition to a degree
• Why we keep looking for ways to keep training (and to keep that coffee flowing)
