I know we are called to love everyone, and let God work out the details, and I do practice equal kindness, and empathy for all of my students. I defend anyone who is being picked on. I am struggling with keeping my mouth shut when an issue arises that goes against my morals, and beliefs. I want to be able to speak from a place of reason, and truth, but doing so would have negative consequences for me. How do y'all handle this?

I have struggled with this as well. The only thing I can suggest is just act in such a way that people know what you stand for. You don’t have to tell them. Modeling Christian behavior is a lot more effective that touting it or making it known. That’s just my experience.

And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.” Endure HARDSHIP as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! (Hebrews 12)

I understand the question, I hope, as I've had kids directly ask me if I support LGBTQ. Once I explained that I love and care for everyone without regard to race, gender, etc. I them explained how they're not old enough to vote, fight in the military, or drive so that basically they're not old enough to make such life altering decisions. Unfortunately in this case the student ran out the door upset (the period had just ended). I would love to have this opportunity to explain myself better as I would also add the high suicide rates and other negative consequences for making such decisions. I try to respect them and call them by their preferred names and pronouns, but I keep questioning if I should continue that. I'm a substitute teacher so I have a hard enough time with their names already. These are not easy discussions and I'm always concerned for my job when these things come up. I try and write these in my notes for the teacher when these things come up.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.

I wonder if we still have people who believe in God’s promises and love God as the WORD tells us” I find in David a man after my own heart” 1 Samuel 13:14! How can we incorporate this love into our school we work for? Isn’t our voice enough?

I just wanted to reach out and let you all know I understand how tired and beat down we all feel at this point in the year. I’m feeling it too. I also know exactly how students can try us. What I’m working on every day though is to see my kids as God does… not the kids that know how to push buttons and drive me crazy, but as the beautiful lives they are, all deserving of the best we can give them every day. I know it’s not easy, but that’s what I’m working on.

Hello,
I teach 4th grade at a Christian school. I have been teaching for over 30 years but I have been at this school for 2 years. Since I have been working at this school it seems like everything I do in my classroom it's something wrong with it according to my supervisor. Recently, I was told that I am not getting a new contract for the new school year. I have to find a new school. I was told that I am not a good fit for the school.

Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. 
Love will never end.
Humbled, convicted, but thankful. Our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit love us this way!
