Garland Dunlap: The Power of Education, Faith, and Transformation (Pt. 1)

Greetings, friends! In this episode of People Watching, I sit down with my dear friend, educator, writer, and strategist Garland Dunlap. Our conversation explores the intersections of spirituality, education, and cultural imagination, and y’all. Editing this conversation felt like herding kittens. We went everywhere!! In our first episode, Garland shares his unique journey of faith, neurodivergence, and the reshaping of education through a theological lens. We dig into the transformative power of learning, the role of creativity in education, and the importance of finding and becoming authentic role models. I had so much fun in this conversation - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
