Podcast Episode 011: Ryan Finkbeiner
In today’s interview Ryan Finkbeiner, principal at Mount Lebanon Lutheran School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin shares a remarkable story of transformation…but it’s not all about the numbers or the performance or the test scores. To Ryan and his team, those are just great side benefits to the ultimate goal: sharing the love of Jesus with more students and their families, preparing “disciples, heirs, and leaders,” and creating a place where “teachers want to teach and students want to learn.”
I’m blown away by the work that God is doing through Ryan and his awesome team there at Mount Lebanon. I’m so excited for you to hear this story of transformation and the values, mission, culture, and priorities that only got stronger as they grew together!
Here’s a breakdown of the episode:
2:12 - Ryan's journey into education
8:48 - Ryan's current role at Mount Lebanon
10:56 - Starting at the bottom
20:15 - Steps and realizations along the journey

We hope this episode encourages you, sparks ideas, and gives you confidence to move forward in your own school and role. And we hope you share it with a friend, teammate, or fellow educator.
