I have come to learn for myself that the opposite of faith is not doubt, but rather the opposite of faith is certainty! Having doubt is to be fundamentally human & asking questions is the first step to finding answers and clarity. Let’s shed the shadow of shame cast on doubt and instead seek and find clarity that only comes with asking questions.

episode 104: Episode 104: 'I need you to love your kid' with Jaymie Batten, High School Counselor
Jaymie Batten began her career as an 8th grade teacher. During her first year of teaching, a troubled student from a broken home needed more support than she knew how to provide, so she enrolled in school counseling courses and has been working as a school counselor after graduating with her Master’s Degree in School Counseling from Texas A&M Commerce in 2014. She worked for years at that same middle school in the role of school counselor, but when a position at Sunnyvale High School became available in 2018, she jumped at the opportunity. She is currently completing her sixth year there. Jaymie not only focuses on academic counseling, but prides herself in the genuine connections she makes with her students and their families using both person-centered and solution-focused counseling. Jaymie is a Christian that firmly believes God is love and God’s love is for all people. Jaymie and her high school sweetheart, Richard, are doing their best to raise their two boys, Jay and Hank, with grace, acceptance and love.
