Per the brief: "AI Generalist" is a real credential but appears on About or Media only — never on the homepage, to keep the author-site promise front and center.
Faith Posture
Christian, faith-informed, and welcoming.
Garvin's faith is not hidden, but the Readiness Framework is built to be usable by non-Christian readers and non-church organizations alike. Faith is part of the foundation — it does not require religious familiarity to understand the offer, and it never implies that spiritual practice prevents hardship or guarantees a particular outcome.
