Is it possible to be a bold light for Jesus in a public school… and not feel so alone while doing it?
In this episode, I sit down with Pennsylvania teacher Shanna Daubenspeck, a passionate Kingdom educator who said yes to building Christian community on her campus—and watched God multiply it.
This conversation is honest, practical, and so encouraging if you’ve ever wondered:
Are there other Christians at my school?
How can we connect without making it weird or forced?
What difference could it really make if we prayed together?
Spoiler: It makes a big difference.
Listen in as we talk about: ✨ How Shanna began finding other believers at her school ✨ Creative ways they’ve gathered for prayer and encouragement ✨ What’s shifted since building a Christian educator community ✨ What to do if you feel alone but want to see this happen where you are ✨ Why Kingdom community changes everything
