Being labeled a cult leader and Christian nationalist—before the doors even opened.In this episode of WISE and Otherwise, Jodi shares her incredible journey from public school skeptic to Apogee Alpha & Omega founder. Backed by her father's legacy, a local church, and an unshakable conviction to take action, she built a microschool model that puts students—and their values—first.📘 In this powerful episode:– Why public school never felt like the right fit for her kids– The moment she knew it was time to do something– What happened when her student refused to honor false gods– How Apogee equips both children and parents to lead– The unexpected backlash—and the faithful response📢 What do you think?
