In this episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, host Joe sits down with Jacob Bush, Head of Schools at Shepherd Christian Schools, to unpack a powerful opportunity for Ohio taxpayers to support Christian education—without spending extra money!

Jacob explains how Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) allow individuals to redirect their Ohio income tax dollars to support private schools like Shepherd Christian. Learn how this initiative can help fund tuition assistance, support teachers, and expand access to Christian education—all while giving you a dollar-for-dollar tax credit.

Whether you're a parent, church member, or Ohio resident passionate about faith-based education, this episode is a must-listen. Plus, discover how you can start giving today and make a lasting impact on students and families in your community.📌
