In this podcast, we explore the notion that students are capable of more than we often give them credit for. By challenging them to reach higher standards and pushing them to do hard things, we can help them strengthen their faith and achieve more than they see in themselves. Join us as we discuss practical strategies and mindset shifts to support students in reaching their full potential. Remember leaders, for our students to get stronger, their leader has to be getting stronger first.
