The Question Nobody Is Asking
How a prayer walk in the rain became a global movement and what it reveals about the gap at the heart of American education
Voice Up Series · March 2026
On a rainy evening in November 2024, Art Fuller went for a walk. From the outside, this might seem unremarkable. From the inside, it was anything but. Fuller was carrying, at that moment, approximately three careers' worth of responsibility. He was a member of a seven-person executive leadership team at a large behavioral health organization overseeing more than 500 staff, an operating budget exceeding $53 million, and services reaching 13,000 patients across eleven counties in Indiana. He was simultaneously completing a doctoral degree. And he was something else, too: a man who had spent thirty years building things from scratch, leading them through difficulty, and handing them to communities that needed them.
