In this special 50th episode of The Christian Capitalist, Rich Sanders sits down with Abby Michels, Director of Mission and Ministry at St. John’s College High School, to explore how faith, education, and service come together to form leaders who live generously and lead with purpose.
Recorded on location at Rich’s alma mater, this conversation dives into the Lasallian mission, peer ministry, serving the poor and marginalized, and what it means to be “rich in good works.” Abby shares how spiritual accompaniment, hard work, and generosity shape students not just for success—but for lives of meaning and service. This is embodied in the St. John’s motto: “Enter to learn, leave to serve”.
This episode is a powerful reminder that Christian leadership isn’t confined to church walls—it’s lived out daily through work, relationships, and a willingness to give.
