Russ in the Pod-o-Sphere (Pt. 1)
Spreading remarkable God-centered education in the city
Dear Friends,
Spreading Hope Network exists to spread remarkable, God-centered education in our nation’s cities, as we come alongside kingdom ‘edu-preneurs’ to pioneer & grow classical Christian schools, focused on underserved communities.
We are so grateful for our Visionary President’s giftings to be a gospel-centered herald of our mission. Russ has been on a podcast tour of sorts, and we wanted to highlight those recordings to our subscribers. Enjoy these recordings & stay tuned for more opportunities to hear from Russ on the pod-o-sphere.
In Christ,
Michael Bolland, Managing Director
Shout out to Mitchell Slater who did a two-part podcast with Russ back in December. Here are a couple quotes from the episodes:

Russ has been on Basecamp Live two other times:
- Hope Spreads When You Plant Classical Christian Schools in the City
- Seeking & Living in Cultural Harmony
Robert Jackson, Founding Partner of Classical Commons, recently had a discussion with Russ about how low expectations are a form of cruelty, especially in urban communities. They ask the questions: is Classical Ed for everyone? Can it thrive in communities that have endured the “soft bigotry of low expectations?”
