In Episode 34, educator William "Bill" Loggans joins the show from Orlando, Florida. After working as an investigator for the Department of Children and Families, Bill felt a divine calling to step into the classroom, hoping to be a barrier that reaches kids before their home lives ever require an investigation.Listen in as Bill opens up about a devastating tragedy: the loss of his 36-year-old daughter five years ago.
He vulnerably shares how her unseen struggles radically shifted his perspective as a teacher, compelling him to look at every single student with deep compassion as a soul fighting their own hidden battles. Drawing inspiration from the Apostle Paul's unwavering courage, Bill also discusses his "Freedom to Think Project," an initiative designed to help teachers and students bravely understand their First Amendment rights and integrate their faith into their daily lives.
Guest's Bio
Author of “Quiet Courage in the Classroom”, Founder and President of the Freedom To Think Project
William Loggans is a Florida high school history and law teacher—and former law enforcement officer—who unexpectedly found himself at the center of a national conversation after a classroom poster sparked debate around fairness, free thought, and student rights. What began as a local classroom moment quickly escalated, placing William under scrutiny he never sought.
As the new year begins, William is sharing what he learned from that experience through his new book, Quiet Courage in the Classroom. Rather than revisiting controversy, the book focuses on what educators, parents, and students can take forward into a new semester—and a new year.
