Noah is a Resident Assistant at Black Forest Academy in Germany, and his path there ran straight through a calling he really didn't want to say yes to. Noah traces the journey from an international upbringing through a defining study abroad experience to a moment of reluctant obedience, and what he found waiting on the other side.  \u201cTheir parents can focus on ministry while having their kids receive a really good, quality education, and the dorm side for us is that we become partners, co-workers with the parents as we seek to guardian them and lead them through these four years that they\u2019re here.\u201d \u201cI had packed into a box this idea that following Jesus into the mission field means leaving behind everything you love.\u201d \u201cI really didn\u2019t want to obey, but I knew He was calling me.\u201d \u201cThey immediately responded with, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re one of us. Oh, you get us.\u2019\u201d \u201cWhen you can get into a mindset where you give up predictability, when you give up seeing things in the way you planned, it becomes easier to hear His voice.\u201d \u201cWe [in Gen Z] have a desire for truth; we want what\u2019s real. We don\u2019t like the facade; we don\u2019t like the fake.\u201d  Dialogue Education \u201cYou lay it all at Jesus\u2019 feet, and you say, \u2018Abba Father, here is my life, here is everything. You are in control. You have access to everything.\u2019\u201d \u201cThe answer came on the other side of obedience. I\u2019ve found myself living what feels like an adventure, and I only found the adventure once I surrendered.\u201d  What\u2019s changing our lives:  Keane: Listening through top albums of all time Heather: Using a sleep app Noah: Processing learning through teaching to increase retention and engagement  Weekly Spotlight:  Residence Life We\u2019d love to hear from you! podcast@teachbeyond.org Podcast Website: https:\/\/teachbeyond.org\/podcast  Learn about TeachBeyond: https:\/\/teachbeyond.org\/ ","author_name":"Transformed &amp; Transformational","author_url":"http:\/\/transformedandtransformational.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41304675\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/41304675"}
