EP 163 | How to Build a Christian School Empire Without Losing Your Soul | Granville Jones

Granville Jones walked away from a successful career in public education when anti-biblical doctrine became too much to handle. But instead of retreating, he built something bigger: a nationwide online Christian academy that refuses to compromise on either academic rigor or spiritual depth. In this conversation, Jones reveals the tension he discovered in both public and private Christian schools, the investigation that led to his breakthrough approach to student mentorship, and the daily spiritual disciplines that keep him anchored while stewarding hundreds of families across America. He gets vulnerable about losing 500-day streaks, the moment his vision had to expand beyond three states, and why meeting students where they are changes everything.
