Your 6-week path to banish stress
and teach with the joy of the Lord.
teaching is tough. you probably feel...
- > Overwhelmed with the sheer volume of work & responsibilities
- > Stressed about problems you don't know how to solve
- > Frustrated with students, admins, or colleagues that make teaching more difficult
- > Worried you're close to burn out and might have to stop teaching
You want to feel positive - to be positive. But instead, you too often find yourself stressed and irritable.
You love God, and you love your students. But sometimes the challenges are so oppressively overwhelming that you want to hide away in your closet and binge dark chocolate rather than face your first period class.
You're holding onto the hope that things will get better, but in the back of your mind you're wondering but what if they don't!?
Are you ready for a truth bomb?
We cannot afford to wait for our circumstance to change. Instead, we must learn to trust God in our challenges and experience His joy, peace, and rest despite them.
3 steps to banish stress & teach with joy
Sometimes trusting God is easier said than done. So how exactly do we make that happen?
In Teach Uplifted, we'll learn to trust in God and rest in His goodness with these three steps:
1
DISCOVER
what the Bible says about God’s incredible work in your life so that you can stop stressing and start resting in His promises.
2
MEDITATE
on God’s goodness, sovereignty, and grace so that these truths sink down into your heart & change the way you think & respond.
3
ABIDE
in Christ so that His joy & grace shine through you each day in the classroom.
We know you're busy! You can complete the bulk of Teach Uplifted during your normal devotional time.

Take Diane, for example, a 1st grade teacher who joined Teach Uplifted during her 5th week of virtual teaching under COVID. Here's what she says:
"I was finding that I was increasingly sad and overwhelmed by what I was trying to accomplish. I knew I needed this course - especially at this time.
I have been able to consciously say "Your will be done" at times when I really wanted to complain or even cry because everything has just felt difficult.
By remembering that God IS in control, that there is NOTHING that is going on that is a surprise to Him, and that if I can say "your will be done," it truly lightens the load and helps my focus be where it needs to be.
Just like Peter in the storm ... when he took his eyes off Jesus and looked at the storm, he started to sink. This has helped me keep my eyes on Jesus and has kept me walking. Thank you!"
"I've learned to wholeheartedly trust in the Lord, and to understand that struggles in teaching can be overcome if we approach them with a God-filled heart instead of a self-serving heart."
- Lynn, kindergarten teacher

About the Author
Hi! I’m Linda Kardamis, former teacher and founder of Teach 4 the Heart. I know firsthand how hard teaching can be. You know that bit about hiding from your first period class? Yeah, I didn’t make that up. That was totally me! (minus the chocolate, unfortunately)
But then I found A Christian’s Secret to a Happy Life, and my outlook changed completely. I stopped viewing challenges as hardships and started accepting them as God’s perfect will for me that day. The peace and joy that resulted were such a stark contrast to the stress and annoyance beforehand. And now, when the frustrations return, I know where to run for help.
I knew I couldn’t keep these lessons to myself, so I assembled them into the Teach Uplifted Devotions and created the full program around it. Since then, they’ve helped hundreds of teachers learn to trust God and teach with His joy, even in the midst of struggles. And I pray Teach Uplifted will do the same for you, too.
Don't Worry. You'll Have Everything You Need!
The weekly lessons are delivered in audio format so that you can listen pretty much anytime, anywhere.

don't worry!
It won't take too much time.
We know you're busy, so we've designed Teach Uplifted to be easy to complete. Here's how it works:
Plan to use the daily devotionals as your regular devotions time. If you try to add them on to what you're already doing, it may be too much. But if you use them as your daily devotions, you'll find deep refreshment in God & His truths, without feeling overwhelmed.
Then, listen to the weekly audio lessons whenever you'd like during the week. They're only around 30 minutes each week (give or take), and since they're audio, they're easy to complete while cooking, cleaning, walking, etc.
You'll also want to plan about an hour to go through the introductory material & get everything set before the program starts.
