Host Matt Hufman speaks with Rev. Dr. David Vásquez-Levy, president of Pacific School of Religion (PSR), and Byron Chung, vice president of institutional growth at PSR, about Kwaray, a digital platform born from a Lilly Endowment’s Pathways for Tomorrow initiative. Drawing on PSR’s tech-informed, hybrid approach to theological education, Kwaray is designed as a white-label, community-centered ecosystem where schools, churches, and faith organizations can offer short, stackable, non-degree programs for spiritual formation. Built with both LMS and CRM functions, it helps institutions guide learners along pathways of formation while tracking engagement and credentials. For presidents and boards, Kwaray offers a way to reach new audiences, collaborate with peer institutions, and experiment with more sustainable financial and educational models.
