It’s summer break—and after pouring yourself out all year, maybe you're just beginning to slow down and reflect. If you're wondering where Jesus was in the middle of the chaos, exhaustion, and even heartbreak of the school year, this conversation is for you.
In this deeply encouraging episode, children’s author, teacher and passionate advocate for hurting kids, April Graney, joins us to share the heart behind her new book, If Jesus Came to My School. April brings joy, honesty, and powerful truth as she talks about creating Christ-centered community—especially in hard places.
Together, we’ll reflect on:
-
What it means to carry Jesus’ presence into our schools
-
How God works through even the small, hidden moments of a teacher’s day
-
Ways Christian educators can rest and be restored this summer
-
Simple ways to prepare our hearts to love from overflow, not burnout
Wherever you are in your summer—exhausted, hopeful, or somewhere in between—you’ll walk away reminded that Jesus sees you, and your presence in the classroom matters more than you know.
