Leadership, Faith, and Finding Yourself in a Small Town | Hunter Bailey
What does it really mean to grow up in a small town — and how do those roots shape who we become?
In this episode of The 39/94, Jodie O’Brien sits down with Hunter Bailey, a 2015 Savannah High School graduate whose journey has taken him from band rooms and swim lanes to leadership roles in Scouting, aquatics, community theater, and ministry. Hunter shares what it was like growing up deeply involved in his hometown, the pressure and beauty of living in a tight-knit community, and how those early experiences helped form his leadership, faith, and resilience.
Hunter opens up about stepping back during a difficult season, learning to stand in truth when it’s uncomfortable, and finding renewed purpose through Camp Geiger, theater, and his faith. Together, Jodie and Hunter explore the complexities of small-town life — the pride, the challenges, and the lessons that stay with you long after you leave.
This conversation touches on:
- Growing up in a small town and finding your identity
- Leadership through service, faith, and integrity
- Scouting, aquatics, and mentoring young people
- Community theater and the power of storytelling
- Navigating seasons of hardship, healing, and resilience
- What it means to be unapologetically yourself
Whether you’re raising kids in a small town, reflecting on your own roots, or figuring out what comes next, this episode is a reminder that where you come from matters — but it doesn’t limit where you’re going.
