Feeling “The Stretch”!

Culture is stretching me as a leader like never before. My days are full of victories and challenges both personally and professionally. I love this space to wrestle with big topics in a context of hope...can’t wait for future podcasts!

Hope for future leaders!

It good to know there are leaders like Chris reaching out to the young men and women at UT! His is a powerful story of the impact spiritual leadership can have on the lives of individuals. God has given him a great platform to continue that spiritual impact to future generations. Humility & love - great goals! Ephesians 4:1-2
