Spit on. Punched. Silenced. Insulted. Lied on.Welcome to the Male Educator Podcast where REAL TEACHERS find REAL SOLUTIONS from a REAL JESUS. This day in July starts a mini-series called “The Place Value of Teachers” Objective: I can & will Save MYSELF as a Teacher. Biblical Base:   JOHN 12:24   || Word of the Week: Value Mark 23:37: "And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, 'He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One.'"Matthew 27:42-43   /   Mark 15:30   /   Luke 23:37,39 “Why would a Great Teacher decide to NOT SAVE HIM/HERSELF?”John 12:24   English Standard VersionTruly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. How does this help me teach?Mark 8:35: "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever is willing to lose for this world will have life."If you quit teaching before you know in your heart you are supposed to, then you will lose the life you were meant to have. You’ll have a job and keep existing, but as the weeks go by you’ll know that something is extremely different. Even with a huge pay raise, your life will not be fulfilling as it was.  As you are in service to God, the Father honors on Earth AND in Heaven. On Earth you receive provision (your family will not go hungry!) In my situation, I have not been evicted from my home and for 7 months I was earning $40 per week.           * Do you choose to stay on your cross until you produce fruit?       OR          * Do you love your life so much that you are willing to lose it for eternity? EXIT TICKET:   To re-evaluate your PASSION Ask yourself, “Do I want LIFE & BEAR FRUIT in my school? OR "Do I want to save myself from the EPIC power and miracles that will occur by submitting to God's will for my life?"  Summer song for this PD Dance Break: “Your Way’s BETTER!” by Forrest FrankThank you for continuing       Mini-series “Place Value of Teachers”
