Heart to Heart: Word of Encouragement for Teachers

Hey Transformational Teacher! 

I hope this school year is off to a great start, but if it has been as challenging as mine has been then I want to remind you of a few things: 

  • God is still faithful and He is still right there to help you. 
  • Stay connected to the vine. Apart from Him you can do nothing.  
  • Allow the challenge to grow and build your capacity. 
  • Ask God to help you see things from His perspective and to see the good in each day. 
  • Walk in humility and allow those God ordained people to help you as you navigate throughout the school year. 

Experiencing challenging days inside the classroom doesn’t make you a bad teacher. It simply means that you are having some challenging days. 

Reflect on what’s happening and ask God what you need to do as you continue to journey throughout the school year. God desires to give you wisdom. Be sure to have your ears, heart, and mind open to hear what He has to say. Allow GOD to get the GLORY out of this.

About the Podcast

The Transformational Teacher Podcast
Conversations With Jesus
Does having a relationship with God truly help me flourish in every area of life?
Have you ever wondered if inviting Jesus into your everyday life whether in the classroom, your career, or personal journey would truly change things?
For years, I wrestled with stress, uncertainty, and the weight of trying to do it all on my own. I often felt like I was pouring into everyone else but had nothing left for myself. I tried to carry the weight of my calling in my own strength—until I realized I was never meant to do it alone.
Through deep conversations with Jesus, I’ve learned what it means to surrender, trust Him fully, and walk in His peace. Now, I want to share those conversations with you.
I’m D’Toya Dove, and The Transformational Teacher Podcast: Conversations with Jesus is a space where we explore what it looks like to walk with Jesus in every season. While I have a heart for teachers, this podcast isn’t just for educators—it’s for anyone seeking to grow spiritually and fulfill their Kingdom assignment with confidence and joy.
Each episode is a reflection of what God is revealing, encouraging us to grow in faith, trust Him deeper, embrace Kingdom purpose, and live the life He has called us to live.
Join me as we navigate this journey together one conversation with Jesus at a time.

Hi, I’m D’Toya Dove, the host of The Transformational Teacher Podcast!

I’m a Christian Teacher, podcast host, and the founder of The Transformational Teacher, where I empower educators to grow in their faith, embrace self-care, and adopt a Kingdom Growth Mindset to unlock joy and peace. With over 16 years of experience as a Pre-K teacher, I understand the joys and challenges of teaching firsthand—and I’ve experienced how transformational it can be to invite God into every part of our journey.

Through my 15 Kingdom Keys Framework, I guide educators to align their teaching with God’s purpose, helping them discover peace and joy in the classroom and beyond. But I want you to know, I’m walking this path with you. Every day, I’m learning to trust God more, lean into His strength, and find balance between faith, teaching, and life.

Whether it’s through faith-filled encouragement, practical strategies, or self-care tips, my mission is to help you thrive as a teacher and make a lasting Kingdom impact.

Join me as we journey together to teach with joy, peace, and purpose—one step at a time!
