It is about people. It is about presence. It is about relationships. And it is about the many individuals who walk alongside students, often quietly, shaping who they become. Episode Six of The Truth About Ed features a powerful conversation with Deacon Gregg St. John about service, relationships, school culture, and the lasting impact adults can have on students. From his years as a beloved D.A.R.E. officer in local schools to his vocation as a deacon, this episode reflects on what young people truly need today: presence, guidance, faith, and connection. A heartfelt conversation about education, safety, mentorship, and the people students never forget.
