   Ep 54 - Tyler Dunn - Holding Ground: on Faith, Community, and Civic Service

   What matters more in a community leader—political promises or the character of the person making them? In this episode of Because of the Times, I sit down with Tyler Dunn, local farmer, family man, and candidate for Gibsons Town Council. Moving beyond politics, we explore the person behind the candidacy—his faith, values, and approach to personal responsibility and civic service. Our conversation touches on humility, discernment, community identity, development, affordability, and the growing influence of commercialization. At its heart lies a bigger question: What makes a community worth belonging to, and what responsibilities do we have toward one another?
