This week was a treat for us: the opportunity to have our good friend, Lynn Swaner, joining us for a recording session while she was on our campus. Lynn serves as Chief Strategy and Innovation Office at the Association of Christian Schools International. She is one of the co-authors of the book Flourishing Together, which we read and discussed on the podcast in the spring of 2022 (see episodes 056 through 060 for our discussion of this excellent book.)
On today's episode, Lynn shares from her wealth of experiences and the research she has conducted; we wind up with a wide-ranging conversation about flourishing, calling, weathering the challenges of education today, leadership, and imagining the future of education. Lynn a wise voice that Christian educators should be listening to, and we hope you’ll be encouraged by this week’s conversation.
