Teaching through the Overflowing Living Water of Jesus

Teaching Through the Overflowing Living Water of Jesus

with David Schmus of Christian Educators

Are you tired of running on the treadmill of self-reliance—feeling as though everything in your classroom depends on you? Are you thirsty for His joy, peace, and hope overflowing in you and through you? Journey with us through Jesus’ encounter with the Woman at the Well and real-life stories of educators as we exchange our faults, fears, failures and frustrations for His life-giving flow of living water. Your classroom and school will never be the same.
