Teacher's Table: Teacher's in the Lion's Den
Teaching isn't just a profession, it's a calling. But what happens when that calling is tested by difficult leadership, constant change, workplace conflict, burnout, and uncertainty?
In Teachers in the Lions' Den, educator and author Angelle LaShun draws powerful parallels between the life of Daniel and the everyday experiences of today's educators. Through thoughtful biblical reflection, personal insight, and practical application, this short but powerful 10-day study encourages teachers, school leaders, and education professionals to navigate the classroom and workplace with unwavering faith, humility, wisdom, integrity, and courage.
Each chapter explores a different season of Daniel's journey, from adapting to new leadership and standing firm under pressure to overcoming jealousy, embracing change, battling discouragement, and trusting God through uncertainty. Alongside every lesson are guided reflection questions, self-assessments, and prayers designed to help readers apply God's Word directly to their professional lives.
Whether you are a first-year teacher, a veteran educator, an instructional coach, administrator, or anyone serving in education, this book will remind you that God has not forgotten your assignment. Just as He sustained Daniel in Babylon, He is able to sustain you in today's schools.
Inside you'll discover how to:
-
Navigate leadership transitions with wisdom and grace.
-
Stand firm when workplace culture challenges your faith.
-
Respond to conflict, criticism, and jealousy with integrity.
-
Find purpose during burnout, change, and uncertainty.
-
Lead with humility while maintaining biblical convictions.
-
Pray intentionally for your students, coworkers, and workplace.
-
Trust God to strengthen you through every season of your career.
Teachers in the Lions' Den is more than a study, it's a companion for educators who desire to honor God while faithfully serving in one of the world's most demanding professions.
You may work in today's classroom, but like Daniel, you were ultimately called to serve God's Kingdom.
