For the second year, we are thrilled to bring back Brian Spahr as a teacher! Brian will be drawing upon his experiences as a hospital chaplain and will be teaching students how to navigate grief within themselves, others, and the world around them.

Brian has a long standing history with TAP. He was on the original board of directors, his family donated our first-ever van (affectionately named Richard), and most importantly, Brian has been a wonderful source of wise counsel and friendship, long before TAP even became an organization. Brian resides in Fort Wayne, Indiana with his wife Michelle and their two teenage kids.

Brian’s 2025-2026 Class was voted the favorite by 4 of our 5 students!

Class sessions run from 9:15am-11:00am, and 1:00pm-2:30pm, Monday-Thursday. There is only a morning session on Friday. Anyone is welcome to attend! Looking to attend class for a few days/the whole week and need a place to stay locally? Mount Carmel has a great variety of cabin rental options, please contact Shae Smith at registrar@mountcarmelministries.com or by calling (320) 846-2744.
