Welcome to Roots L.E.A.D. to Results—a weekly podcast that brings soul-deep encouragement to educators who are tired of surviving and ready to serve from a place of alignment, clarity, and conviction.
I’m Lisa Karosas—science teacher, curriculum designer, and believer that classrooms change when teachers are rooted.
This podcast is my own accountability check-in: a chance to slow down, reflect on the bigger picture, and disciple through my daily work right alongside you.
Each week follows a simple rhythm—L.E.A.D.—
-
L: Let Go & Lead Yourself
-
E: Establish Rhythms that Sustain You
-
A: Align with What Actually Matters
-
D: Disciple Through Your Daily Work
Through scripture, storytelling, and reflections on the realities of teaching, this podcast will help you reconnect with your calling, rediscover your voice, and refocus your energy on what matters most—not just in your classroom, but in your life.
Whether you're a science teacher or not, if you're craving grounded leadership, grace-filled persistence, and a reminder that you're not alone—you’re in the right place.
Let’s grow the roots that lead to lasting results.

As teachers, we constantly seek new ideas, strategies, and inspiration—but when does learning become a crutch instead of a tool for action?
In this episode of Deep Roots, Flowers, and Fruit, we'll reflect on the balance between curiosity and implementation. From professional development to classroom experimentation, we'll explore how embracing the scientific mindset—observing, questioning, testing, and iterating—can transform both teaching and personal growth.
Through a faith-inspired lens, I'll also shares how my own “wilderness” moment led me to shift from consuming knowledge to stepping forward in action.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of learning and procrastinating on taking action, this episode will motivate you to take that next step!
Listen in to discover:
✅ Why endless professional development isn’t enough—action is key
✅ How to embrace your classroom as a laboratory of learning
✅ The connection between curiosity, service, and scientific practice
✅ A faith-based perspective on finding clarity in the wilderness of teaching
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that will challenge you to step out, experiment, and grow.
