Listen "#46 | How Church Made Me a Better Teacher and Educational Leader"
Episode Synopsis
What if the culture of the Black church held the blueprint for building thriving classrooms? In this episode, we explore the deep parallels between church culture and classroom culture, and why the rituals, gratitude, and sense of community found in churches can transform how educators lead.
From the moment you walk into a church, being greeted at the door, lifted by worship, guided through structure, and inspired by the message—you experience intentional culture. That same intentionality can shape classrooms where students feel seen, valued, and ready to grow.
We’ll unpack questions like:
When was the last time you thanked a student just for showing up?
How can leaders model gratitude to inspire belonging and accountability?
What would it look like for a classroom to radiate vision, fellowship, service, and ownership?
Iron sharpens iron, but sharpening requires friction and growth. Healthy culture in both churches and classrooms is about love at the doorway, service in action, accountability in practice, and vision that speaks without words.
Tune in and discover how educators can build spaces where students don’t just attend, they thrive.
