Keith, I just completed my watching of your Education Matters re racism. Spot on. You allowed issues that must be dealt with to be heard. You touched on the uncomfortable in a very comfortable way..as did your guests.
I’m getting ready to facilitate a study based on the book The Blessing, by Gary Smalley & John Trent, Ph.D. So much of the dilemma addressed on your show today pointed to the necessity for a student to be told, by someone who believes it, what he/she CAN do &/or accomplish. What a truth that is !!!!!! In our study I will utilize things spoken on this show as example of this fact of life.
Your show is allowing the public to hear truths that need to be heard, & acted upon.
I’m so proud that you are a little bit mine….Good job Keith !!
