It’s the Feast of the Guardian Angels—a perfect day to re-introduce students to the immanence of God and the reality of the spiritual life. Jonathan Doyle unpacks how modern “disenchantment” dulls wonder, why students are paradoxically open to the supernatural (just often the wrong kind), and how Catholic teachers can confidently present the Church’s rich, biblical teaching on guardian angels—with prayer, sources, and simple classroom moves.
You’ll learn:
A quick way to re-enchant lessons without going “woo-woo”
- The Church’s core teaching on guardian angels (and where to read more)
- A 10-minute lesson plan for today: Scripture → Catechism → the Angel of God prayer → student reflection
- How to connect angels to dignity, vocation, and daily discernment

Drawing on Cardinal John Ribat’s reminder that teachers are called to continue Christ’s work, Jonathan Doyle explores the Catholic educator’s vocation today: forming minds and touching hearts. From Lazarus-like hope to real classroom realities, we look at why literacy, numeracy, and excellence serve a Christological vision of the human person, and how your daily fidelity can lift students from poverty of spirit into genuine hope.
You’ll learn:
- Why Catholic identity makes academics matter more, not less
- How to “teach for hope”: language, prayer, sacramental life, and presence
- Simple ways to keep lessons rigorous and Christ-centered—without burnout

Yesterday’s Gospel of Lazarus and the rich man isn’t just about almsgiving—it’s a roadmap for Catholic education. Jonathan explores why the Church’s historic option for the poor must flow from a living encounter with Jesus Christ, not replace it. We look at real forms of poverty in our schools today—material, spiritual, emotional—and how teachers can serve them in Christ and through the grace of the Holy Spirit. Practical ideas for keeping social action explicitly Christ-centered in curriculum, culture, and pastoral care.
You’ll learn:
- How to frame social justice as a response to Christ, not a substitute for the Gospel
- Three “poverty lenses” (material, spiritual, psychological) for classroom practice
- Simple habits: daily prayer, sacramental life, language of dignity, and concrete mercy

This episode goes straight to the heart of Catholic identity in our schools. Drawing on Cardinal Gerhard Müller’s reminder that “the Church must always and everywhere confess Christ and lead people of goodwill to Him”—and that the redemption of the world is only in Jesus Christ through His sacramental Church—we unpack what this means for daily practice in classrooms and leadership. Jonathan contrasts secular humanism’s optimism about self-perfectibility with the Gospel’s call to grace, conversion, and mission. Practical takeaways help you bring a clear, Christ-centered presence to your students—even when wider systems drift.
You’ll learn:
- Why Catholic education fails if it becomes “humanism with a Catholic veneer”
- How to make Christ the principle of unity for culture, curriculum, and care
- Simple habits to keep your classroom explicitly Christ-centered (language, prayer, Sacraments, witness)

Drawing on a recent papal remark and the doctrine of the Imago Dei, Jonathan unpacks what this means in classrooms and staffrooms: how we speak, how we correct, how we form culture. You’ll hear practical ways to recognize Christ in the “hardest to love,” build a community that refuses utilitarianism, and keep Catholic identity at the center of school life.
You’ll learn:
- Why Imago Dei is the engine of Catholic pedagogy

On Padre Pio’s feast we explore how God “chisels” saints—and how Catholic educators share in that work. From Padre Pio’s image of souls as stones for an eternal dwelling to the Church’s reminder that “the teacher does not write on inanimate material, but on the very spirits of human beings,” this episode calls us to encourage, challenge, and form students toward holiness. Jonathan shares a personal story of a teacher’s tough love that changed his trajectory—and offers practical ways to partner with God in the daily grind: naming higher standards, having hard conversations, and rooting it all in prayer and the Sacraments.

In today's episode I want to share an important insight from St. Augustine that we do out students a disservice if we dont tell them that life can be hard and that they need to firmly established in Christ to navigate the challenges that lie ahead.
Telling our students that 'being happy' is the goal of life will not do help them to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. We have a much bigger story to tell.

Welcome to the Catholic Teacher Daily Podcast with Jonathan Doyle, where faith meets education in a powerful dialogue. In today's episode, Jonathan makes his triumphant return after a challenging few weeks marked by a bike crash that left him with 12 broken ribs and two steel plates in his shoulder. But he's back, fueled by the prayers and support of his community, ready to dive into the heart of Catholic education.
With infectious enthusiasm, Jonathan delves into the core message of Catholic teaching: the call to holiness and discipleship. Drawing from Abigail Shrier's provocative book "Bed Therapy," Jonathan challenges the prevailing notion that happiness is the ultimate goal. Instead, he offers a profound insight into the ancient concept of eudaimonia, a state of human flourishing rooted in virtue and alignment with God's will.

n this inspiring episode, global Catholic speaker Jonathan Doyle delves into the transformative power of community in a Catholic school, drawing insights from a profound text by Archbishop Michael Miller. Emphasizing the essence of the school as a community of faith, Jonathan explores how this alternative model challenges the prevailing individualistic society.
Archbishop Miller's text highlights the communal dimension rooted in the social nature of human beings and the reality of the Church as "the home and the school of communion." This perspective signifies a significant shift from viewing the Catholic school merely as an institution to recognizing it as a vibrant and genuine community.
Jonathan discusses how teamwork plays a pivotal role in creating a nurturing school climate that fosters trust, spontaneity, and a warm atmosphere akin to family life. Educators, both religious and lay, parents, and school-board members are encouraged to collaborate synergistically for the common good, promoting solidarity over competition and responsible participation over indifference.
The Holy See's emphasis on involving parents closely in Catholic schools is highlighted, especially when addressing sensitive topics such as religious, moral, or sexual education and vocational guidance. Jonathan emphasizes the significance of this partnership based on faith, directing efforts not only towards academic challenges but also in planning and evaluating the effectiveness of the school's mission.
Drawing on the enriching collaboration between consecrated men and women with the laity, Jonathan discusses how their witness and experience in community life make them experts in communion. Their presence acts as leaven, creating deep bonds of solidarity, mutual enhancement, and shared responsibility in the educational plan. Above all, they exemplify an explicit Christian testimony that influences the entire school community.
Join Jonathan Doyle as he explores the wisdom contained in Archbishop Michael Miller's text, revealing the beauty and strength that emerge when a Catholic school embraces its identity as a vibrant and faith-filled community. Discover how the power of community can shape the lives of students, educators, parents, and all those involved, creating a lasting impact on the journey of faith and education.

In this compelling podcast episode, renowned global Catholic speaker, Jonathan Doyle, delves into the profound importance of Christian anthropology within the context of a Catholic school. Drawing inspiration from the enlightening words of Archbishop Michael Miller, the discussion centers around the idea that a Catholic education must go beyond imparting academic knowledge and instead, focus on nurturing students as images of God, with a supernatural destiny.
At the core of this episode lies the complementary relationship between the natural and supernatural aspects of human life, where grace builds upon nature. Jonathan expounds on the Catholic theological teaching that emphasizes the need for educators to understand the fullness of the human person, catering to both their natural and supernatural dimensions.
The Vatican's insight on anthropological vision, as presented in "Lay Catholics in Schools: Witnesses to Faith," becomes the guiding principle for Catholic educators in today's diverse and pluralistic world. The concept of the human person, rooted in the Christian perspective, defends human rights while also acknowledging every individual's dignity as a child of God. This perspective encourages the complete development of human potential, recognizing our role as stewards of God's creation. Most importantly, it proposes Christ as the ultimate model and means of achieving personal and communal perfection.
Jonathan passionately argues that a Catholic school should not be reduced to a mere training ground for academic achievements or vocational skills. Instead, it must stand as a school for the human person, where Christ is at the center of every facet of life. Referring to the words of the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, he highlights that it is in the mystery of the Incarnation that the true essence of humanity is revealed.
Through captivating insights, this episode reminds listeners that the core mission of a Catholic school is not simply to educate but to be a living and provocative embodiment of Christ's teachings. In this light, the Catholic school becomes a place where Christ's presence is palpable, shaping the philosophy of education, curriculum, community life, teacher selection, and even the physical environment.
As listeners immerse themselves in Jonathan's thought-provoking discourse, they will gain a deeper understanding of how embracing Christian anthropology and making Christ the focal point in Catholic education can transform the lives of students and create a school environment that fosters authentic faith, moral character, and true academic excellence. Join us in exploring the profound significance of Christian anthropology in Catholic schools and its impact on shaping the future of generations to come.

In this thought-provoking podcast episode, esteemed global Catholic speaker, Jonathan Doyle, delves into the profound purpose and pressing challenges of Catholic education. Drawing inspiration from the insightful words of Pope John Paul II, the discussion centers on the transformative role of education as a process that seeks to form the whole child and elevate their gaze towards their transcendent destiny in heaven.
With a deep emphasis on the inalienable dignity of the human person, particularly their spiritual dimension, Jonathan highlights the urgent need for Catholic educators to identify and uphold the true aims of education. Regrettably, modern society often views education as a mere means to acquire information for worldly success and material comfort, neglecting the higher calling of nurturing the soul and fulfilling one's destiny to become saints.
The specific purpose of a Catholic education is twofold: first, to shape boys and girls into virtuous citizens of this world, who embody the love of God and neighbor, enriching society with the transformative power of the gospel; second, to prepare them as citizens of the world to come, guiding them on the path to sainthood.
As Pope John Paul II once addressed American Catholic educators in New Orleans, the podcast explores the pressing challenge of understanding the true essence of the educational enterprise. This challenge involves properly evaluating the educational content and diligently transmitting the full truth concerning the human person, who is uniquely created in God's image and called to a life in Christ through the Holy Spirit.
In a world that often overlooks the spiritual dimension of education, the episode reminds listeners that a Catholic education must always hold a high supernatural vision. Without this vision, all discussions about Catholic schools may fall short of their true purpose, lacking the transformative power they are intended to have.
Join us as Jonathan Doyle unravels the timeless wisdom of the Church's vision for education, inspiring educators, parents, and all those dedicated to this apostolate to rekindle their commitment to Catholic education. Discover how embracing a holistic view of the human person, with a focus on spiritual growth, can shape saints who will impact both this world and the world to come. Together, let us embark on a journey of deeper understanding and appreciation of the divine mission of Catholic education.

Today I respond to a great listener question where they ask: One thing that I have been trying to find the balance on, is sharing the faith with students and non-Christian colleagues. Most colleagues and students know I am a Christian/Catholic, yet is it enough for them to just know I am a Christian? Should I try to share the faith and witness and yet how should I? How much is too much? Will I just start sounding cheesy? How do you authentically share your faith with colleagues and students in the small things without it sounding forced? Especially when interacting with LGBTQ+ colleagues and students, as this can really be a tough one discussing anything faith wise.

Catholic education is such a precious and necessary human and divine undertaking. It is not simply a functional or utilitarian process where we funnel kids into the economic system. In today's message we have a profound reminder from Pope Benedict XVI about how what you do each day is so much more than a job.

Do you ever grow weary of being told to 'trust the experts' and place all your faith in institutions and authority? In recent years it seems that so much of what we once gave our allegiance to has come under extraordinary forms of pressure and suspicion. More than ever, rather than placing faith in power, titles and roles we long to believe that people actually walk their talk and live out what they profess. In today's episode we hear a famous quote from Pope Paul VI who reminds us that as Catholic educators it is our witness that matters and that it is this witness that can have the most crucial impact upon our students.

The crazy intensity of modern life can make it hard for any of us to find moments of deep quiet and stillness in our lives. For our students it can be even harder. The emergence of social media and screens over the last few decades have no historical precedent and it's like we are living through some vast experiment. As Catholic teachers how can we help our students rediscover their own hearts and deepen in their relationship with God. In this episode I share a powerful quote from St. John Paul II who reminds us that every Catholic educator can help their students connect with their own inner longings.

What do we do when we feel overlooked for promotion in a Catholic school? What do we do when we feel that someone less qualified is now doing the role we felt God could really use in? How does a Catholic teacher address the issue of ambition and wanting to build a career?

It seems we only have to turn on a TV, open a computer or check our phone and be instantly and endlessly confronted by some new tragedy occurring somewhere in the world. While we will never be free of suffering this side of heaven there are remarkable ways in which Catholic teachers can make a genuine difference.

C.S. Lewis is one of the greatest thinkers and writers of the 20th century. His ability to incisively communicate the deepest of truths has few rivals. In today's episode I explore on of his simplest yet most extraordinary quotes. It goes to the very heart of the issues that can make it hard for our students to engage with Jesus and the Catholic faith. In a world of religious equivalence and the arguments that one idea is as good as another, C. S. Lewis cuts through it all with a few simple words.

Our modern world is wildly technocratic and its essential religion is rapidly becoming a mix of scientism and consumerism. As such, there has never been a more important time to stand against this dark tide by a return to the deepest meaning of what it is to be human.

There are so many things that make the Catholic Church unique in her journey throughout history. One of those things is that she is always at her very best when she is not engaged in the 'system of the world' but rather stands as a prophetic witness against it. Think for a moment about how our political and cultural systems so often operate within a methodology of the accumulation and maintenance of power. The Church, and by extension, Catholic Education must be different. Our goal is to be open to the entire world so that we can lead individual and precious human souls into a relationship of intimacy with Jesus Christ.

He reminds us that if the Catholic Church just becomes one more mouthpiece of ethical pieties and 'I Stand With..." hashtags then we really don't have anything to offer the world they can't get from turning on Oprah or watching The View. We have to be bold and confident in our proclamation of the eternal truths that change the trajectory of every human life. We have to be radical and courageous if we want to live up to the great significance of both our baptism and also our vocational mission as Catholic educators.

In many Catholic schools these days the essential mission has been lost in a malaise of political activism and a hunt for enrolments and higher test scores. Is it possible that many schools have lost their way? In this episode we go back to a 2014 Vatican document that reminds us all of the one and only ultimate purpose of each and every Catholic school. Rediscovering and recommitting to these deep principles offer us not only a chance of our schools becoming more necessary and relevant than ever but of also allowing us to create communities where our work becomes a more joyful and sustainable vocational mission.

It's a common mistake to think that we chose teaching because we simply liked young people or that we had an interest in a particular subject and wanted to teach it to people.

It's easy to think that the essential vocation of Catholic education is simply the call to teach. In today's episode we go deeper and realise that there is actually a vocation that precedes the art of teaching. We explore the essential vocation of love in the life and mission of every Catholic teacher. We are called to 'will the good of the other' and this primary vocation can then animate all the other aspects of the daily work of a Catholic teacher.

In today's episode we have a special reminder from a great Catholic martyr and saint, Peter Chanel. He reminds us to never let go of the truth that the challenges we face are vastly beyond our human capacity and frailty.

According to Evelyn Waugh, modern education means that many young people can suffer from enormous knowledge gaps. These gaps can then be exploited by various forms of manipulative forces in the wider culture. This means that more than ever, Catholic teachers have an incredibly important role to play in helping young people encounter truth and live more fully human and Christ-centred lives.

Our modern world has a strange relationship with truth. At one level, our culture insists truth is relative and yet it also seeks to censor anything it deems to be disinformation. In today's episode we explore a powerful insight from Thomas Aquinas that reminds us that most people are seeking truth as best they can and that we can can be grateful both to those with whom we agree and those whom we don't.

It's common knowledge that so many teachers leave the vocation of education within a few years of entering. Modern teaching is a complex mix of administration, pastoral care, time management and much more. Is there a way we can not only survive the teaching vocation but actually thrive? In today's episode we explore a simple insight from St. Mary of the Cross that will help us to remember that we are not meant to survive via our own capacity.

There was never any chance that Jesus would call you into the work of Catholic education and then leave you without the gifts and charisms you would need to be all that he called you to be. In this episode I explore the powerful message of 1 Peter 4 10-11. The good news is that you have been given incredible gifts. The closer you grow to Jesus and the sacramental the more these gifts will grow and develop.

It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that our journey of holiness may come down to a small number of specific things we do in our life. Maybe one day, we think, we will do something that will really impress God and then we will earn some extra points in some cosmic holiness competition.

One of the great pieces of good news in my spiritual journey has been the gradual realisation that I don't have to become a saint by effort alone. It can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that if we could just try harder, overcome bad habits and be nicer to people then the path to heaven would be straight. In today's message I share with you a beautiful quote from Father Jacques Philippe that reminds us that we are not alone and that we can trust that God will be faithful to his promises.

Today is the memorial of St. Benedict the Black. In this short episode I want to explore how his simple life and legacy can offer us some great insights into how we can be people of service and humility.
Today I share a great quote from Jeff Cavins that reminds us that our allegiance to Jesus is a total commitment . We don't get to pick and choose the parts we agree with. At this moment in history there are many forces that seek to shut down the right of Catholic schools and Catholic educators to speak the truth in a loving and respectful way.
In today's episode I want to talk about the difference between a Christocentric school and an anthropocentric school. They are radically different places and can create radically different outcomes.

I'm back and hoping to bring you some daily encouragement in your journey as a Catholic teacher. In this episode I'm going to be talking about Roger Scruton's thoughts on beauty, Padre Pio's thoughts on the slow progress of the spiritual life and how the Gospel helps our students get free from the risks of social media.
Today, I want to share with you a very powerful quote from Haim Ginnot. It's a great reminder that ultimately the individual teacher plays an incredibly important and central role in the lives of every student. What we bring each day as educators has an incredible impact upon the young people that God places in our lives. There is no bigger influence on the character and tone of a Catholic school than the teachers themselves.

In today's episode we are going to focus upon a scripture insight from Luke 4:18. Jesus is the one who liberates people from darkness and oppression. He is the one who opens prisons and declares release. What if each Catholic teacher is called into this same ministry by virtue of their vocation? What if every Catholic teacher can be used by Jesus to help struggling students find a way out of the prisons that define their own struggles? Listen in and discover just how crucial the ministry of every Catholic teacher can be.

We have all been there. We tried hard but as our heads hit the pillow all we can think about is all that we did not accomplish and all the things we might have done differently.

In today's episode I want to share with you a beautiful quote from a very special saint who teaches us how to let go and let God at the end of every day.
In these challenging times it can be very easy to give in to despair and fear. The modern news cycle and the fear-based narrative of social media can make us feel that we are alone and that things are going from and to worse. What we all really need is a reminder of the power of faith and the decision to be people of faith and not victims of circumstance. In this episode I want to share with you a great quote and help you realise just how influential and important your faith is in the lives of those around you.
Sadly, in some Catholic schools there can be a culture of criticism, gossip and tearing down of people. This is not the way things are supposed to be. So what actually creates the specific culture of any Catholic school? Why do some schools seem to be positive communities of light and growth and encouragement and others are not? In this episode I want to share with you a simple scriptural insight that can make a big difference in any Catholic school.
One of the most remarkable things about being a Catholic teacher is the ability to see the potential in your students in the way that Jesus also sees that potential.

In today's episode I want to share some thoughts with you about the role of faith in the life of each Catholic teacher and what it can mean for your students.
In today's episode it's time to explore a few important ideas. First, we begin with a reminder that a Catholic school is not a place of pure humanism or fancy psychology but rather a place of deep reliance upon the person of Jesus.

Finally, it's time to be reminded by the Letter to the Ephesians that the words we use have incredible power to shape the daily culture of any Catholic school community.
As A Catholic teacher it can be very easy to fall into the habit of working too hard. There is so much to do that we can easily feel we just need to push harder each day to get it all done. In this episode I share a great insight from the philosopher Josef Pieper who reminds us that our lives consist of so much more than just working harder.
In today's episode I want to share a very beautiful quote from Paul Kingsnorth. It's a great reminder that any Catholic vocation shares in the same dynamics that motivated all the great saints down through the ages. Just like the Irish monks of the sixth century, you are called each day to set out on a path of trust and mystery as the Holy Spirit guides your work.
We have all had the experience of being overlooked when being picked for teams as kids. We all know that feeling of comparing ourselves to others and wondering if we are enough. In today's episode I share some rock solid encouragement about the fact that God never misses anyone when it comes to passing out gifts. You were handpicked and chosen and the best is ahead.
Jesus had an incredible ability to cut through to the very essence of human experience.

Paul VI once commented that people listen to witnesses more than they listen to those who simply speak about something they have heard elsewhere. In today’s episode I want to share several important insights about what it means to be a genuine, daily witness to the impact that Jesus has had upon our lives.
I’m on a mission. For much of the last decade I have been trying to help Catholic teachers around the world realise that their vocation means they are, what I like to call, ‘professional givers.’ They give and they give and they give. Sooner or later, in the absence of restoration and replenishment this constant giving can exact a heavy toll. It manifests in short temper, fatigue, brain fog, cynicism and sarcasm, overwhelm and eventual despair. It does not have to be this way. In today’s episode I want to talk with you about the crucial need to fight for the stillness and silence that will allow Jesus to be the restoration you need. If you don’t feel you can do it for yourself then do it for those you love.
Every day offers each Catholic teacher an almost endless number of possibilities to do good. The smallest actions and moments of kindness can have significant impact on the lives of young people. In today's message we explore how the life of Justin Martyr shows us the importance of learning to gently guide young people toward an encounter with Jesus. I also share a great quote from Ettienne Gilson about the two things every teacher needs to do good on a daily basis.
In today's episode I talk about the fact that the trials we face in the daily work of education can be a profound invitation to spiritual and personal growth. What if the trials we face were a way in which God is calling us to a deeper level of dependence and trust?
In today's episode I share a great insight from St. Bede The Venerable who reminds us all that God is the wind that drives the sails of every truly effective vocation. It's easy to feel that we need to direct our careers and our daily plans but what if we could learn to relax into God's provision for us?
In today's episode it's time to talk about the question of ambition in a Catholic school. We've all seen what happens when people start playing politics to get that next promotion. Is this simply a part of human life in a work environment? Should a Catholic school have a different approach? In this episode we look at what happens when Marian spirituality meets the human quest for recognition and success.
In a world torn by adversarial politics it is a very human thing to seek answers in the reorganization of society among any number of tribal, ethnic, national, economic or social identities. The great genius hidden in the early Church’s growth was its ability to help diverse groups of people see their common humanity and dignity and the high calling upon their lives in the bright light of the Resurrection. In today’s episode I share some thoughts on why Catholic teaching is at it’s best when it helps students discover the great truths that unite us rather than those diabolic agendas that pull us away from each other and the God who loves us all regardless.
Ann Rennie is a passionate Catholic teacher who has dedicated much of her life to helping young people learn, grow and encounter Jesus.

In today's episode I want to explore this profound quote from Paul Kingsnorth. IO truly believe that the way we change the world in some small way is to allow God to let us become, over time, all that he created us to become. This is the path of sainthood and it is not beyond us and it is not the role of some preordained souls who are so much holier than you think yourself to be. Don't miss this encouraging episode.
In today's episode we explore a quote from well known author Jordan Peterson. How can we help both ourselves and our students deal with the hardships, suffering and tragedy in the world?

We also learn that God desires to carry us when we most need it.
It is a challenging time for so many young people as they are inundated with a vast range of political and ideological agendas all vying to present themselves as true and worthy of allegiance. In today's episode I want to share a great quote from Alasdair Mackintyre who reminds us that the truth does not come from within a person. The truth, in fact...is a person.
In today's episode I reference an extraordinary essay from Paul Kingsnorth which you can find https://paulkingsnorth.substack.com/p/the-dream-of-the-rood (here) . It is truly worth printing out and reading in a quiet moment. I also discuss the deep truth of how we all take instruction from somewhere and it's worth being mindful about where that is.
In today's episode it's time to talk about some of the hard realities that shape our modern world and impact every Catholic classroom. It's easy to overlook the challenges we face but the more we understand the truths of who we are as both physical and spiritual beings the more we can strive to live in ways that conform to the reality of how the cosmos is structured.
A world where education is stripped of religious and spiritual meaning quickly becomes a functionalist technocracy where knowledge is place purely at the service of utility and power.

In this message I want to try and explain how much change you can experience when you make a start upon the journey of a deeper interior life.
Technology and social media can easily make today's students seem more sophisticated and worldly than at any previous time. However, there is a big difference, as you well know, between appearance and substance. In today's episode I talk about a great insight from Evelyn Waugh and how it can help us reveal the compassion of Jesus to even our most challenging students.
There comes a moment in the life of every Catholic teacher when you have to decide whether or not you are going to take the cosmic gamble. And what exactly is the cosmic gamble? Well, that's the focus of today's episode where we learn from one of the greatest Catholic mystics that there is a deep secret to allowing God to transform your vocation as an educator and your entire life.
In today's episode I share a very powerful quote from St. Peter Chanel. He realised that there are times when we realise that the mission is simply beyond us. What do we do when we realise that our limited human capacities are not enough to manage the complex challenges we face? Listen in and let me share what St. Peter Chanel can offer us.
Today I share another profound quote from Father Donald Haggerty. In a world fractured by identity politics and rage this is a reminder of a strategy that can truly transform our lives and those of the people we care about. One of the truly special things about your vocation as a Catholic educator is the way that your focus is directed toward the needs of others. Today's message takes us deeper into that reality.
In today's episode I share a special quote from St. Edith Stein. She reminds us of the crucial importance of letting go of our plans and trusting God to carry us through the day.

It's a great reminder that the spiritual life and daily prayer of a Catholic teacher can and does have effects far beyond what they may realise. In our complex and challenging world there has rarely been a greater need for teachers to be people of deep prayer. Listen in and be encouraged in your special vocation.
Holy Thursday offers every Catholic teacher a deep insight into the very essence of the faith.

In today's episode I share two simple insights from Holy Thursday that capture the very heart of the Catholic education vocation.
As a Catholic teacher there will always be seasons of fatigue and weariness. The question is how we manage these challenging times. Do we look to come through them using our own energy and capacity or do we trust God to do what we cannot? In today's episode I share a great quote from St. Mary of The Cross Mackillop that reminds us all of what we need to do when faced with challenging times.
Ever feel like getting through the day as a Catholic teacher is all about you and your efforts? It can be so easy to fall into the habit of relying exclusively on all our own skills and energy. In today's episode I share a great quote from St. Jane Francis de Chantal where she reminds us that it's all about keeping our eyes on God and allowing Him to do the work.
According to Pope Benedict XVI, there is a place for political and social action but it should never come at the expense of the individual human actions that make up true Christian charity. At the heart of the Lenten call to 'almsgiving' is more than just a transfer of finance or material comfort to the poor. What matters even more is that these actions should also involve a genuine gift of ourselves to one another. In this episode I talk about the 'gift of self', the place of political programs and much more.
Do you have concerns about the way that social media might be shaping the lives of the students you work with each day.

In today's episode I share another great quote from Dr. Ryan Topping and then it's time to talk about how e see the destiny of our students. Where we think our students are heading can have a big impact in how we teach and what we teach. Sadly, more than a few Catholic schools have an essentially humanist focus upon the outcomes of their students lives. If we make this life our only focus then we end up trying to build secular utopias instead of seeking to usher in the kingdom of God in whatever manner God calls us to do. We also discuss the importance of hope in this Advent season.
What is it exactly that God wants you to do in a Catholic school? In today's episode I discuss the simple thing that God wants every single Catholic teacher to do on a daily basis. The good news is that this simply action will also have a big impact upon every student. I also talk about the relationship between the Duke of Wellington, the Battle of Waterloo and its implications for Catholic schools.
Let's be honest. Some parts of Revelation are rather....descriptive! Lakes of fire, dragons and the occasional reference to eternal torment. In today's episode we take today's Mass reading and blow up the heresy of 'universal salvation' and remind ourselves of the crucial importance of our daily choices and decisions. What we actually 'DO' is much more important than what we 'intend'. I also discuss the crucial importance of trying to build character and virtue in our students.
In today's episode we explore a great quote from the great theologian and priest Romano Guardini and also talk about the new book from Ross Douthat. According to Douthat, advanced societies are running out of energy and inspiration. Catholicism has been witness to this before and has often been the catalyst for radical and renewal and change. Let's discuss how the Catholic teacher can play their part in breathing life into a dying culture.
In this episode we explore the way that significant aspects of modern social protest mirror the deep religious impulse central to all human lives. The difference for a Catholic teacher is that the religious impulse is ordered toward the Truth and not to any specific cultural ideology or movement. What is the modern news cycle telling us about the deepest needs of our students, our families and ourselves?
In today's episode we explore a great insight from Monsignor A.N. Gilbey and also how we can apply the concept of a growth mindset to ourselves as well as to our children.

Just as the apostles were an unfinished collection of personalities and problems when they first met Jesus, we also, can allow Him to form and shape us along the journey of our vocational life.
In today's episode I share some powerful insights from Jean Baptiste Chautard who helps us to make the crucial connection between liturgy and the overall health and vitality of every Catholic school.

In today's episode it's time to go a little deeper into the call to sainthood that's placed upon the life of every Catholic teacher.

We talk about art, music, and the daily challenges of your classroom and how those same challenges are going to make you become your truest self. You can find the article I based this episode on here
In many schools students are increasingly being sold a utopian vision of human and cultural perfection that ignores the truth of the Gospel and the destiny of every human life.

In today's episode it's time to talk about why every Catholic teacher needs to take the existence of their guardian angel seriously. A new book called Angels and Demons: A Catholic Perspective helps us to realise how God provides help when we need it in every difficult circumstance. I also explore another great quote from Ryan Topping about the very essence of all Catholic education.
In today's podcast I share an insight from St. Paul when he reminds the Galatians about how God chose to reveal Jesus 'in' him. That's an interesting idea and it's one that I think applies to every Catholic teacher. The deeper we pursue the journey of discipleship the more Jesus is revealed 'in' us as we work with young people. What an awesome opportunity and responsibility you hold as a Catholic teacher.
The Bishop of Orleans was a very busy man. In a scribbled note from a retreat he took in the 19th century we discover that he faced the exact same challenges that most Catholic teachers face on a daily basis. In today's episode I want to talk with you about how he learned to manage the intensity and demands of his vocational life. Burnout and exhaustion do not have to be the path that Catholic education lays out for us. We need to take the risk that if we press into prayer that Jesus will do more than we can ask, hope or imagine.
Lone ranger Christians and Lone Ranger Catholic teachers often find themselves exhausted by the demands of the Catholic education vocation.

In today's episode I share with you a five step process from St. John Chrysostom that can help any Catholic school staff begin to become a truly happy place.

Listen in and be encouraged in your vocation and in your powerful role in standing up for truth.
St. Martha often gets a bad reputation as the saint who was too busy working to stop and encounter the presence of Jesus. the truth is more complex.

In this episode we explore how Martha's unique gifts of hospitality and welcome are central to creating a vibrant Catholic school community and culture.
In today's episode I want to talk with you about the power of proclamation and why it matters in the life of a Catholic teacher. Among all the many precious and important aspects of your daily vocation, one of the most powerful is the way in which you can just simply proclaim the kingdom of God itself. Jesus public ministry began with a 'proclamation' that God's kingdom had arrived. The good news is that you also share in that same mission!

These days many teachers can find it difficult to know what the Catholic Church actually teaches on key issues and then how to present that teaching to young people in a compelling way.

In this episode it's time to talk about the courage to speak into young people's lives at a key moment on their journey of spiritual and personal development.
The complexity of modern education means so many Catholic teachers are constantly up-skilling. This is a good thing but sadly the area of deep and consistent faith formation is often overlooked. In this episode I offer some encouragement as to why faith formation for Catholic teachers is so important. A simple daily habit of formation can begin to make a big difference in both our personal spiritual journey and our impact as educators and evangelists.
Imagine a Catholic school without Catholic teachers. You might have desks and books and screens and students but if you take out the teachers there is no Catholic school. At the very heart of what defines a Catholic school is the unique lived witness of the teachers whom Jesus has placed in that unique environment. Listen is as I provide some encouragement about how teachers make all the difference.
In today's episode I share another great quote from Pope John Paul ii's great document on Catholic education called Catechesi Tradendae.

Listen in as I provide some encouragement for all those teachers who have ever wondered if they are allowed to teach what the Church really teaches.
These days there are so many theories and methods that promise teachers a transformed classroom or a better experience of personal well-being or work/life balance.

Last week I was invited to do a live Q and A for the NCEA 2020 Virtual Convention. During that interview I was asked a question about the quest for ‘success’ in a Catholic school.

In today’s message I share a confronting quote that reminds every Catholic teacher about the need to be witnesses for truth against what Pope Benedict called the ‘dictatorship of relativism’ . In a world of fake news, aggressive ideologies and outright lies, Catholic teachers devoted to the truth have never been more important.
In today's episode I share an important quote from Cardinal Robert Sarah that simplifies the very essence of the Christian life. In an era of complexity and a plethora of voices there is one essential choice that we all have to make. Living your vocation fully as a Catholic teacher is deeply linked to the simple truth I want to share with you in this episode.
If pure professionalism and more hard work were going to create the promised land of the teaching vocation then I can't help thinking that they would have done so by now. However, more and more teachers seems to experience so much stress, burnout and exhaustion. Does it really have to be that way. In today's episode I want to recommunicate a desire that all of us make the firm decision to place the Holy Spirit front and centre if we want to see God take the reigns.

Rather than an abstract concept, the Incarnation is the real and dynamic way in which every Catholic teacher can partner with God in bringing Jesus to birth in every Catholic school and every Catholic classroom.

In today’s episode I share a great quote from The Congregation For Catholic Education that helps us understand the incredible importance of our own relationship of intimacy with Jesus.

In today’s episode I share a great quote that reminds of the need to find balance between professional skills, programs and initiatives and dependence upon the Holy Spirit.

This has an important place but we also need to always remind ourselves of the need to keep the Holy Spirit at the centre of it all.
One of the most crucial daily practices for any Catholic teacher is spending time in scripture. In every live staff seminar I do anywhere in the world I always talk about the centrality of this important spiritual moment.

In this episode I share some important quotes and ideas about how to make this a more regular part of life.
The irony of modern social media use for young people is that it promised vast new layers of connections yet loneliness and student wellbeing remain massive challenges in most Catholic schools.

One of the best moments of my live seminars is when I share with Catholic teachers the idea of ‘God’s economy.’ It’s a really simple idea that explains the fact that God sees every single thing we do in the service of young people, faith and education.

In this episode I focus upon how we can let the Holy Spirit truly transform our vocation.
Yesterday’s podcast Talked about the idea that we often need to go into the desert to experience gods grace and presence. However, I received a great message from a listener that their school feels like a metaphorical desert where faith values are not prominent. In today’s message I want to offer another take on the desert metaphor. What do we do when it seems Jesus has called us into a place that seems dry and arid?
In today’s podcast I want to share with you a message from Charles de Focauld. He reminds us of the great truth that we need withdraw into the desert to encounter the grace of God amidst the craziness and distraction of daily life. As a Catholic teacher it can be so easy to feel that we are too busy to pray but the truth is that God is always waiting for us in the silence. Don’t miss this episode.
In every one of my live Catholic teacher seminars I talk about the importance of daily prayer within the vocation of Catholic education.

As many of you know, I was involved in a bad accident last week and have just got home from hospital. If you've ever found yourself lying in a hospital bed you may remember that it's a place where we can end up wondering where God has gone. It's a question at least as old as the Book of Job. In today's episode I want to share how we can apply these ideas and experiences to challenging moments in Catholic education.
In today's episode I share with you a very special quote from a very special saint. It's a reminder that the peace that we all seek in life can come when we finally realise that we are exactly where God wants us to be.

I also share with you a simple daily prayer that can help get you moving in the right direction.
The other day on Twitter a prominent Archbishop asked for some advice. My response forms the basis of this podcast and I think you will find it interesting. Do you ever get tired of the next new program or system or idea in the education space? Ever get tired of the idea that maybe if we worked harder or had more computer tools or funds we could finally get some results? In this message I want to share the one sure path to helping young people encounter Jesus.
Yesterday I finished the iconic American novel, 'On The Road.' It's an important work for many reasons. It captures a transitional moment in Western culture and also highlights how the incredible gifts that God gives us can be turned to less than ideal ends. In this episode I want to talk about what this book has to do with every Catholic teacher and how it can help us see our students and their potential in a new way.
A few weeks ago I was speaking in Nashville and had time to visit the Country music Hall Of Fame. Our family had, for some reason, slowly become fans of Johnny Cash so it was great to visit a place where he had a strong presence. I want to share a simple insight that I have been sharing with teachers based on a famous photograph taken of him in 1964. It captures a great idea about how we can not just survive our teaching life but actually thrive and grow. Let me know what you think.
So many young people live in a world of comparison. Social media provides a daily diet of images and ideas where so many of our students can come to feel inadequate or simply not good enough. In today's episode I want to share with you the incredible way in which every Catholic teacher can help young people experience a very different reality. It is not easy to do but our daily efforts to share and speak the truth can have extraordinary results in time.
On my recent speaking tour I shared with thousands of Catholic teachers a special story from Exodus 35. In this story we hear about someone who was given a very special task by God but did not seem to have much of an audience. So often, Catholic teachers can begin to wonder if anyone sees what they do. Does it even matter? In this episode I want to answer that question for all of us.
Today is the feast of St. Ignatius of Antioch and I wanted to share with you some ideas about what his life and witness can offer us as Catholic teachers. When faced with suffering and opposition and ultimately an awful death, Ignatius was able to keep sharing the Gospel right to the end. You may not have to give your life to share Jesus with young people but you will no doubt face times of opposition and difficulty. Listen in as I share how Ignatius can be a source of encouragement in hard times for any Catholic teacher.
In today’s episode I share a quote from St. Gabriel Possenti about how the small details really add up. It’s easy to think that big ideas and programs are more important than the smallest acts of service and kindness. It’s not true. The tiniest acts of love and attention to your students are just as valuable as any of the big things that seem to grab people’s attention.
In today’s episode I share another great quote from Hans Urs Von Balthasar. He reminds us that deep prayer is one of the great precursors of how the Kingdom of God comes to life in our world. In the busyness of modern school life it can often be the case that we feel prayer is a luxury rather than a necessity. He reminds us of why it matters and why we need to make it a daily priority.
In today’s episode I share a great quote from Pope Benedict XVI from a speech where he was talking to Catholic students.

In today’s episode I share a great quote from the incredible theologian Hans Urs Von Balthasar. He helps us to remember that we are all children before a loving God. It is also a chance to remember to keep prayer as a central part of your daily classroom practice.
In today’s episode I share another great quote from a core Church document on education. I explore the simultaneous tasks of human and spiritual formation and how they are oriented toward a truly superhuman goal.
In today's message I share a great quote from St. John Vianney about the fact that God is patient and he knows how hard it can be to grow in holiness. No matter what mistakes you've made, draw courage from these encouraging words about the future that awaits.
In this live recording from the National Catholic Men's Conference I share some thoughts on the main reasons that most men never achieve their potential in life.

What three things do they need to be aware of that threaten their potential? What single prayer can change everything?
