A teacher recalled a classroom moment that will bring tears to your eyes. As she mentioned, something happened that completely caught her off guard. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to hear the educator discuss an event in her classroom that will likely make you shed a tear or two.

Teaching is in no way an easy job, and anyone who says or thinks otherwise is simply wrong; there is just no other way to put it. It’s an immensely important position, but it is incredibly challenging. Those men and women are entrusted with the task of educating little ones, imparting knowledge and lessons that will, hopefully, propel them forward in life.

Educating youngsters is a tall task in and of itself, but add in someone who doesn’t want to learn, or worse, is disruptive in the classroom and hurts others’ educational opportunities, and the job difficulty multiplies considerably. But often, behind those disruptive or bullying behaviors is a student who has been hurt. As the saying goes, hurt people hurt people.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a teacher mentions that she had a disruptive, bullying student in her classroom. She admitted that this student was a lot and took out his frustration and hurt on those around him. However, something happened during what she refers to as “class meetings” that threw her for a loop.

The teacher mentioned that during one class meeting, a child in her class said that her father had packed up his belongings and left the night before. None of the other students or the teacher knew what to say or how to respond, but then a hand shot up. It was the hand of the difficult and disruptive student.

“Now, my heart stopped because I’m like, ‘What is this child going to say? Is he going to make a joke? Is he going to make the situation worse?’” she thought to herself.

But when she called on the young man, he said something that she did not see coming.

“And this child, what some would call a mean child, looked at this crying girl, and said, ‘Just know that it’s not your fault and it’s going to be OK,’” the teacher recalled.

Romans 12:10 “Be kind to one another with a brother’s love, putting others before yourselves in honor.”

What do you do when the relentless busyness of life leaves you feeling spiritually dry, drifting, or completely uprooted?

Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a meditative devotional on Psalm 1 — The Tree Planted by Streams of Water — an episode born out of the realization that without intentionality, we can easily find ourselves rooted in a barren spiritual desert, and that we must actively choose to transplant ourselves back into the life-giving presence of God.

Jaime unpacks the profound imagery of the very first psalm, diving into the Hebrew root word shatul (to transplant), and exploring what it truly means to be a tree firmly planted rather than chaff blown by the wind. She shares her own recent season of being uprooted—navigating a major cross-country move from Alaska to Utah—and how the sheer busyness of life can accidentally plant us far from our Source. Together, we walk through a vital "prayer before the prayer," practicing the powerful discipline of confession to expose sin before it becomes entrenched, and intentionally re-centering our focus on the Lord.

Come ready to look at your own spiritual roots—the places you might be seeking nourishment that are actually dry deserts—and the moments when God invites you to adapt, recenter, and draw from His endless spring.

Let this psalm remind you that whatever demanding season of life you are in, there is immense grace to reconnect with the Source. Because when you intentionally sink your roots into His Word, surrender your burdens at His feet, and delight in His law, your leaf will not wither, and you will bear beautiful, eternal fruit in season.

Lecrae compares the church to Chipotle, and the analogy is surprisingly accurate. The Christian rapper and singer-songwriter shared his unique perspective on the church, likening it to the popular fast-food chain Chipotle. Watch the short but hilarious and insightful clip to hear how Lecrae believes the church and Chipotle are alike in this particular way.

The church is a word and concept that is mentioned throughout the Bible. When many people hear the word “church,” they automatically think of a building with a sanctuary, pews, a stage, a congregation and a pulpit. Those are the images and the items most people associate with a church. And given how most people are raised, especially in the United States, that is correct, according to what most people are familiar with and know.

While no one will argue that a church typically comes equipped with pews, a sanctuary and a pulpit from which sermons are delivered, that isn’t entirely correct. Simply put, the church is the people who believe in God and profess to follow His Son, Jesus Christ. Now, since the church involves people, there can be many reasons why one group of believers may not work for you. But that is no reason to completely abandon the church as a whole.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Lecrae makes this exact point by drawing a comparison between the church and Chipotle. That may seem like an odd analogy, but it most certainly works.

“When people say, ‘Man, I don’t mess with the church, bro. I can’t do it. It’s fraud. It’s fake,’” he said. “And I say, ‘You don’t mess with the church. So, you been to every church?’”

Later in the clip, he points out that he loves Chipotle but doesn’t always love what they do, and that his experience isn't always the best at every location. However, that doesn’t keep him away from Chipotle, but just that specific location.

“But I never say, ‘I’m done with Chipotle,’” he said. “I just say, ‘I don’t go to this one.’ So, it’s kind of how I look at the church.”

Matthew 16:18 “And I say to you that you are Peter and, on this rock, will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it.”

Michael Jr. explained God in a simple and brilliant way. The popular funnyman gave a short, succinct answer when asked how to define and describe the Creator of the universe. Watch the short but insightful clip to hear how Michael explained God and the role he plays in our world and lives.

People will often be asked to share their testimonies, how the Lord saved them and completely turned their lives around. Quite frequently, those are powerful stories that perfectly illustrate God’s love, mercy, grace and forgiveness. Where would we be without His forgiveness and grace? Of course, that’s easy; we would still be lost, living in our sin and shame, without any kind of hope or future.

But what would you say if someone asked you to describe and define God? How would you explain Him to someone who wanted to know how you view the Lord of the heavens and the earth? That would be a nearly impossible task. Most people wouldn’t even know where to begin when attempting to answer such a question.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Michael mentioned that he was asked that exact question by a celebrity, someone everyone would immediately recognize. Instead of stuttering and fumbling around for an answer, Michael came up with an insightful way to explain God and how He operates in the world and in our lives.

“I was like, ‘God is like a navigation device when you’re in your car,’” he said. ‘Have you ever been in a car with a navigation device before? We can start there. Y’all been in a car before? We can start there. It’s like being a car with a navigation device. If it says, ‘Go 10 blocks and then turn left.’ Then you go 10 blocks and turn right. It doesn’t abandon what you’re supposed to do. It recalculates what you need to do to get to where you’re supposed to be based upon where you are.’”

He continued to expound on his example of God and a car’s navigation system.

“The only problem is if you keep making the wrong turns, the road conditions may be different, and you’re running out of time,” he added. “So, you have to be sensitive to listen to that voice. So, you can make the right choice about where you’re supposed to be.”

Psalm 32:8 “I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.”

Unexpected changes can shake our confidence and leave us wondering what God is doing. Tonight's prayer reminds us that even when our plans change, God's purpose remains secure. Rest in His guidance and trust Him with every unexpected turn.

Criticism is rarely easy to receive, but God can use it to develop wisdom, humility, and growth in our lives. Join us in this encouraging prayer based on Proverbs 15:31-32 as we ask the Lord for strength to accept correction and grow through it.
