Sadly, everyday tragedies happen at schools around the world; teachers and students get sick, pass away, are involved in crime, and other heartbreaking scenarios. Listen in to discover what to do if the unthinkable happens at your school. This episode is part 8 of our series Teach without Fear: Conquering our Anxieties with Faith & Wisdom.

It can feel scary to disagree with whatever the approved cultural narrative is at any given time. Whether there's a specific situation that you know about, or you find yourself worried about what may lie ahead, this can be extremely concerning for Christian teachers. One area this is showing up more and more commonly for teachers is with students who are claiming to be transgender. What used to be a rare instance is now shockingly common - and more and more of us are facing pressure to affirm students' choices in this area without question - and in some cases to even overtly teach unBiblical viewpoints. By taking the time to listen to this full podcast episode, you can both address your fears and learn how to communicate effectively with wisdom and grace no matter who you are talking to.
