Woot! Woot! I was featured on the DailyGood this week -- talking about what happened when a Guinness World Record challenge turned into a journey of connection and community. Their write-up even made me cry!😭bit.ly/185DoorsToMyself #DailyGood #GWR #worldrecord #Connection

Let’s stop teaching religions as static blocks (1 day for Islam, 1 day for Judaism..). Religions change across time & place! Teach themes instead: sacred spaces, rituals, clothing, foods, etc. You’ll be amazed by the connections students make. 🎉 #WorldReligions4Kids #EduTwitter

185 places of worship. 20 worship services. One Guinness World Record. Countless opportunities to learn! From Orthodox services to Buddhist meditations to testimony meetings to ISKCON kirtans, I experienced the beauty of #religiousdiversity in the U.S. #livedreligion #GWR #faith

📖 Happy Gur Gadi Diwas! In 1708, Guru Gobind Singh (the 10th and final human Guru) bestowed eternal Guruship on the Guru Granth Sahib – the sacred text and spiritual guide for Sikhs worldwide. And it's actually interfaith! #GuruGranthSahib #Sikhism #livedreligion #interfaith
