Maina Mwaura sat down for a conversation with James E. Ryan, Dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the bestselling author of “Wait, What? And Life’s Other Essential Questions.” Most of us know James from his famous speech "5 Essential Questions" given at the 2016 Harvard Graduation School of Education Presentation of Diplomas and Certificates. His work has influenced both students and educators across the U.S. and around the world, and we're excited for you to hear Maina's conversation with James about how those ideas apply to the world of youth ministry.
