With the long weekend coming up, I hope you have plenty of time to rest, relax, and recharge! For me, I'll be putting together life in the College of Apostolic Teachers for the Month of June. We're closing out May with a bang. Recently, I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Sales for Christian Coaches Podcast with Justin Janowski of Faith 2 Influence. I've posted the link below for you to check out. In the video, this was the "debut" of my new grounding framework for everything. The TEACH system. It's an acronym for: T - Transformation E - Equip A - Application C - Cultivate H - Honor You'll begin to see more in the coming weeks but here's a hint. We'll be starting with Honor first! I would normally go in order but given the way education has been going lately, we need to start there. Have an amazing weekend!

Wishing you and yours a very happy Mother’s Day. If you find yourself in a place where you’re navigating a variety of feelings, just know I’m there with you and sending hugs and love. We’ll make it through.

In formal teacher education programs there is a whole course devoted to Human Learning. I've always found it fascinating. One of the things I've realized is that many of our teachers in churches have had not had that experience. In this group, that changes! God created each of to be like Him but in the way He sees us. The body jointly fit has different parts and don't all function the same. That is also true of Learning and teaching. In general, teachers tend to teach one of two ways: 1. The way were taught. 2. The way they learn. While nothing is wrong with either approach, at times they may not be the most beneficial to the students in your classroom, course, or program. I've created a short quiz to answer the question "How Do You Learn??" As it gives your results, it also gives insights to what to look for as a teacher! Try it for yourself and in true teacher form, I have some reflection questions for you! Feel free to share your results and thoughts. Reflection Prompt 1 Based on your results, describe how you prefer to receive and process new information. Do you see this same preference showing up in how you teach or lead others? Give at least one specific example. Reflection Prompt 2 Every learning theory has a strength and a limitation. Looking at your dominant style, where do you think it serves your students well — and where might it be leaving someone behind without you realizing it? Reflection Prompt 3 Knowing what you now know about how you learn, identify one thing you want to be more intentional about in your teaching going forward. It does not have to be a big shift — even a small awareness. https://learningtheory.takhia.online/

Hello Friends! Yesterday was my birthday! 49 turns around the sun. It was a really good day. Quiet and reflective. One of the things I had time to think about is that 48 brought a lot of clarity and boldness, even with the overwhelming at times sadness of the last 6 months. Yesterday, I was just grateful for it all because the sadness gave me the push to do the uncomfortable things and make the necessary shifts. I feel like many of us sit in that same place. We feel the need to make the moves butwe don't know how or where to start or what to do. I don't believe you're in this group by accident. You're here for growth, clarity, and to learn. Community is always important. Not forsaking the assembly of the brethren is not just about missing church on Sunday or Midweek Bible Study. It's about being in a space to be sharpened. Iron sharpens iron. While most teachers, take the summer months to relax, I'll be here providing on-going value for you. I'm just as committed to your growth as I am to mine! Looking forward to building with you and growing together! Thank you for being along on the journey!

I've been working behind the scenes - developing, changing, deciding - and repeat. So, first, thank you! For staying through the changes, the silence, the appearance that nothing is going on. Grief has a way of slowing you down to the point of nearly stopping. On top of that, add injuries from a fall and a broken bone, and that's been my life since mid-September. I don't take it lightly that you are here and have stayed. 🎺With that being said, Skool's in session!!! 🎺 When I started with the idea of a college, I wanted various schools of learning, each with its own material. Today, the virtual doors have opened to the School of Writing and Publishing. Many times, God gives us messages that aren't meant to be shared across pulpits. With the way things are going in the world right now, we should have multiple outlets to share information. Perhaps your message is a book, a blog, or an idea for a course you want to teach in your church, community, or business. The Ready Write-Her Starter Kit is now available to help you move from just having an idea to producing a finished product. The course videos and workbooks are available here! ** Just a little note from the teacher! The course and its components are included for Premium and VIP level students. You can begin working on your message today for as little as $49 for the year! ** If you have any questions, please let me know. You can comment here or send a DM. I'm looking forward to us growing and matriculating together as we go through the College of Apostolic Teachers.
