Episode Summary

In this Sunday School for Teachers episode, I reflect on how faith in Jesus shapes my teaching and leadership. As Mr. Funky Teacher, Nicholas Kleve, I share why teaching is more than a job and how seeking God’s wisdom keeps me grounded, growing, and focused on what truly matters.

I explore the story of Solomon from First Kings and his humble request for a discerning heart. Rather than asking for power or success, Solomon asked God for wisdom, and that choice shaped his leadership and legacy.

I connect Solomon’s prayer to everyday classroom life, reminding educators that we do not have to have all the answers. When we ask God for wisdom, teach with compassion, and pause to listen, our classrooms become places of grace, peace, and purpose.

I close with a prayer for educators, encouraging teachers to seek God’s heart daily and trust that His wisdom can do more through us than we could ever do on our own.
