In this deeply moving episode, host Peter Johnson sits down with Sarah Boulos, Founder of the Society for the Performing Arts in Nigeria (SPAN), to explore how tragedy, faith, and action can transform not just one life—but entire communities.

After losing seven members of her family in a single Christmas week, Sarah turned grief into purpose. What began as a small dance class in her garage has grown into a movement that’s trained thousands of artists, launched studios across continents, and inspired a generation to rise through creativity and faith.

Together, Peter and Sarah unpack the power of resilience, the spiritual grounding behind lasting impact, and the bold simplicity of getting into action—right where you are.
