L.E.A.D. Rhythm: Disciple through your daily work Fruit Focus: Love / Goodness Theme: Connection

Love is more than a feeling — it’s the daily choice to show up with goodness, grace, and integrity.

In this final episode of the Connection Series, you’ll hear how everyday moments — like five-minute conversations that make students feel seen — become acts of discipleship.

You’ll rediscover that living love in your classroom doesn’t mean saying yes to everything; it means saying yes to what’s good, true, and rooted in purpose.

LEAD Rhythm: Align with what actually matters Fruit Focus: Faithfulness Theme: Connection

Teaching isn’t about the big moments — it’s about showing up faithfully in the small ones.

This episode reminds you that real impact grows through faithfulness: in the emails you send, the integrity you model, and the steady follow-through no one sees.

You’ll be encouraged to align your energy with what truly matters and to trust that nothing faithful is ever wasted.

L.E.A.D. Rhythm: Establish rhythms that sustain you Fruit Focus: Kindness Theme: Connection

Connection doesn’t come from grand gestures — it grows through rhythm.

This week, we’ll look at how kindness shows up in consistent, sustainable ways: the tone of your feedback, the steadiness of your follow-up, the compassion that builds trust over time.

You’ll walk away with permission to lead gently without losing strength — and to practice wise kindness that honors both truth and love.

📖 Micah 6:8 — “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

What happens when students think you don’t care about quality — that “anything” is enough?

Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly as teachers who want to build confidence in our students without slipping into complacency.

📖 Psalm 90:12 — “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

As teachers, there never seems to be enough time — and the new demands, platforms, and expectations only add to the frenzy.

But wisdom isn’t about cramming in more.

It’s about discerning what matters most and letting go of the rest.

In this episode, we’ll unpack what it looks like to choose wisdom over hurry, presence over performance, and faithfulness over frenzy.

In this episode, I share a story about school leadership, alignment, and perspective, and we’ll talk about what it really means to “write the vision and make it plain” for your students and yourself.
