It sounds like the start of a bad joke… a Baptist minister, a Wesleyan minister and a Nazarene minister all walked into city hall. But, the gospel impact these pastors are making in North Vernon, Indiana is no laughing matter. I was recently invited to attend a time of prayer with the mayor of this Midwestern city and was blown away by what I experienced. A group of pastors gathers every week at town hall to pray for the Mayor and to ask how they can help their city. This group of pastors also started a chaplaincy program in a local factory, recently received a $65,000 donation from that factory to build an addiction recovery home and is now running the Potter’s House, a faith-based addictions recovery program for men. This program has been so successful that it has beenhighlighted by the major newspaper in Columbus, Indiana and by OutreachMagazine, a national publication. Key takeaways: Why Mayor Mike Ochs initiated a time of voluntary prayer on his lunch hour one day a week.How these pastors started a chaplaincy program at (of all places) a local factory.Why Indiana passed the Indiana Displaced Workers Act and how the church can help individuals coming out of jail find work.The great story about one Potter’s House graduate (who was formerly homeless) serving on a community board that addresses homelessness.Lessons about leading a church toward an outward focus.Great thought, “The world has the right to expect the church to be different.” The post #100 Addiction Recovery with Mayor Mike Ochs, Pastor Caleb Reynolds and Pastor Kent Stroud first appeared on The Good Citizen Project.

Before you get into this podcast, have you listened to PART II? If not, go back and listen to Mike share personal stories. Don't worry, PART II is not going to disappear. In PART II Mike talks more about the patience of teachers and how important this is for student life. He takes a walk down memory lane and shares his love for Ninja Turtles. Lastly, and probably most important, he shares some amazing insights on what educators can do today to help make their classrooms more equitable and fun.

#ItsPersonal 18. Mike Ochs Ninja Turtles, teacher language and 3 tips for all educators PART II

Mike Ochs is part of TCRWP (Teachers College Reading and Writing Project)He has led site-based staff development in schools across the country. In this episode Gary and Mike talk sports (and of course teaching) Let's not beat around the bush here. Both basketball fans, Gary and Mike talk about the progression of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team and what real personalized learning looks like. Mike hits home the idea of patience and why he feels teachers need to remember that students have ideas that they want to carry out. We can use these ideas to help build learning structures and hit key strategies and learning in the classroom.
