What the World Needs Now: (r)Evolution
. . . . . . .
Lead Teacher: Brad Ruggles (he/him) joined C3 as Lead Teacher in May of this year. He is a former pastor that deconstructed and later left the faith he was raised in after 18 years in ministry. He and his wife Lisa enjoy adventuring and traveling with their two adult daughters. Brad ’s interests are diverse and include backpacking, meditation, breathwork, yoga, sportkiting, and photography.

Musician: Sammie Hershock (she/her) almost became a cloistered Catholic nun at the age of 18. Now she travels around Michigan singing songs about not knowing the answers. She weaves her humor and playfulness into the depth of the human existence, so audience members sometimes laugh and cry simultaneously. She is an award-winning Michigan-based songwriter, classically-trained pianist, mother of three incredible children, who majored in sacred music with an emphasis on the pipe organ.

When we are no longer able to change a situation – we are challenged to change ourselves.
– Viktor E. Frankl

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.
– Stephen Hawking

According to Darwin’s Origin of Species, it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives, nor the strongest, but the species that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself.
– Leon C. Megginson (summarizing Darwin’s Origin of Species)

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. ― Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter
