Let’s be real. Teaching can be one of the most emotionally demanding jobs on the planet.
You’re pulled in every direction—kids who are loud, parents who are upset, administration breathing down your neck, lesson plans that aren’t going to finish themselves, and… let’s not even mention state testing. With all of that pressure, it’s easy—natural, even—to let your temper flare.
But God calls us to something higher. James 1 tells us to be slow to anger. Not because our anger isn’t understandable—but because it’s not productive in the kingdom.
