Podcast Blog: S4/E23 Gretchen Huesmann, What Teachers Teach Us about Faith


Almost everyone can point to an influential teacher in their lives. Teachers have educated us so much. They can still educate us today on how to be a faithful person in our daily lives.


Gretchen Huesmann is a veteran teacher and pastor’s wife who is supporting fellow teachers with her new devotional book, “It’s a Good Day to Be a Teacher: 52 Devotions to Equip and Encourage Educators.” Huesmann gives us insights into the modern classroom, the role of parents, and how we can support our valuable teachers in this episode of the Practical Faith Academy. And she also shares her own story, how she has discerned God’s will and built a seven-day practical faith herself.


Highlights of the podcast:  

2:56 What does seven-day practical faith mean to Huesmann.
