Hot Start: Faith, Faculty, and the First Week Back

Dr. Chris Dennis opens the episode with warm-weather updates and a heartfelt response to the devastating flooding in Nepal, noting how technology amplifies shared empathy. He reflects on a moving faculty and staff Eucharist that affirmed the school’s Episcopal identity and its quiet but powerful role in community life.

The episode also celebrates the start of the school year—ninth-grade trips, chaperones, and the return of routines—while urging listeners to show appreciation and grace for educators as they head back into the classroom. It closes with a light, human moment about the heat and a cup of coffee before the host hits the road.
