Topic
Basic Christian Doctrines

As a teacher or ministry worker, one must first be a Christian with a solid faith-based foundation in Jesus Christ.

Therefore, a Christian teacher should always be examining themselves to see whether they […]

In this workshop, discover how to decode behavior, uncover the real needs behind it, and respond in ways that lead to lasting change—not just quick fixes. Learn how to move beyond managing disruptions […]

Topic
More than Words

We are in the business of communication—it’s the reason for our existence as teachers. Communication is more than just using words; it has three essential components: thoughts, feelings, and actions. When we take these components and translate them into words, our teaching has the potential to be truly transformative. In this workshop we will dive […]

Topic
Believe What You Teach

This workshop will help you teach what you believe, with clarity, and with confidence. Ilya Vasilevskiy For the past 16 years, Ilya has been called […]
