Great Faith of Dolly Parton","description":"

Be like Dolly — and live your faith from 9 to 5 ... and every other hour, too!

This four-part course explores the life and faith of Dolly Parton through the people, places, and experiences that shaped her. From her Appalachian and Pentecostal roots to songs such as “The Seeker,” “I Will Always Love You,” and “Light of a Clear Blue Morning,” participants discover a faith that grew and deepened across her life and career. The course also looks at how Dolly put that faith into action through generosity, education, advocacy, disaster relief, and healthcare. Along the way, her story invites us to consider how our own faith might become something we not only believe, but sing, share, and live.

Here's a preview of the first class:
