Why does God allow difficult seasons? When life feels uncertain, painful, or unfair, it can be easy to question God’s character and wonder if our struggles are a result of something we did wrong. But Scripture reveals a different truth: God’s heart toward us is rooted in love, grace, and mercy—not punishment or condemnation. Vivian Bricker explores how knowing who God is helps us navigate suffering, uncertainty, and the lies we often believe about God’s intentions. Through Scripture, we are reminded that God’s love does not change based on our circumstances, and that hardship is not proof of God’s rejection or displeasure. Highlights: Why the unknown can make us question God’s goodness and control Understanding the difference between biblical truth and the idea of karma Why suffering is not always a reflection of God’s punishment How the New Covenant through Jesus changes our understanding of blessings and curses The importance of knowing God’s character so we can recognize false beliefs How God’s love remains constant even during difficult seasons Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Full Transcript Below: Understanding God’s CharacterBy Vivian Bricker Bible Reading:“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:10). In my opinion, the scariest thing in the world is the unknown. Whether that be an undiagnosed illness, starting over in a new city, or thinking about the future, the unknown can be terrifying. None of us can truly know what is ahead because we are not the ones in control. For some of us, there will be good times ahead and for others, there will be hard times. One cannot be dogmatic and say that those who have good times are in the will of God and those who are going through tough times are not. It is never within God’s will for us to be in pain, to be depressed, or to be sick. He never intended for us to go through any of these things, and it is not right for people to believe in the ideology that if you do good, good returns to you from God and if you do bad, bad returns to you from God. This is not biblical as this is actually a belief in karma. Karma is part of the religious beliefs contained within Hinduism and Buddhism. Although karma has become popularized within mainstream media, Christ followers do not need to endorse it. Karma is refuted in the Bible as Psalm 103:10-11 says, “he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.” Therefore, we don’t need to say that God blesses certain people while cursing others. The aspects of blessings and curses based on your actions were true within the Mosaic Covenant, but it is not true for us today. We are under the New Covenant by the blood of Jesus (Luke 22:20). Within the Mosaic Covenant, Israel was petitioned to obey God, and blessings would come to them; however, if they did not obey God and did evil, curses would come into their midst. Since we are not under the Mosaic Covenant, we don’t need to hold ourselves or others to this type of thinking. If we are having dreadful things happening in our lives, they are not caused by God. And if we are having good things happening in our lives, we cannot always be dogmatic to say it is caused by God either. To say that “God has blessed me because I’m doing well, but He has cursed you because you are not doing well” is not rooted in biblical truth. This is why Christians need to be more aware and not to flaunt things they believe are blessings. This only gives the idea that if you are struggling, you have done something terrible in the eyes of God, and you must be cursed. As Christ followers, this type of thinking needs to end. We all have free will, and with it, we have chosen to do terrible things (Romans 3:23). Additionally, we live in a fallen world that is covered in sin. This is why we shouldn’t be quick to say, “It is God’s will for you to suffer from (fill in the blank).” God never intended for evil, sin, or death to be in the world. He wanted us to live in perfect harmony with Him in the Garden of Eden. Intersecting Faith & Life: The Bible tells us, “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:10). God’s character is found in love. Since God is love, why do we believe the lie that He brings curses into our lives or into the lives of others? This goes against His very nature. God is love, and He is not going to bring harm into our lives. As Christ followers, we need to be aware of who God is and His characteristics, as this can help us weed out lies that pull us away from Him. Even well-meaning Christ followers can say unhelpful and unbiblical things, which is why we must be level-headed and fully understand the Bible ourselves. Regardless of what you are going through, remember the truth that God is love, and you are loved by Him, and neither of these things will ever change. Have you ever thought a terrible thing happening in your life was due to God punishing you? What made you think like this? How can having a proper view of God’s character help you understand Him better?

“Send Coach John a message”I found this powerful reminder from Nancy Lieberman (@NancyLieberman) all connected to why we do the right thing. “If you do good expecting a reward, that is when it stops being a virtue. Real growth is not a transaction. You do not do good to collect something. You do it because you are already something.” BOOM!! What a powerful reminder about how we go about our lives, every day! Doing the right thing is the way to go because it's the right thing. We should live our lives more and more with this. Again, think of how the world would be a much better place.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a much needed reminder from Mindset Machine (@mindsetmachine) where this was shared: “People are addicted to easy and easy is the reason their life stays hard.” In today's world with so many distractions and things that we can choose from on how to spend our time - it is not difficult to choose easy things. I've done it for sure. But you know what? As I reflect and connect to this concept, I look back at all the times where I took my foot off the accelerator and just did things that were fun (watch t.v., spend time playing games, time on my phone and computer looking up nonsense, etc.), then I felt down about myself. I felt drained actually. I felt tired and worn out. Then I had no focus and energy to do things that really mattered and were important. There is the thought, if we always choose what's easy and fun all the time, later the price to be paid is a lot worse. Our life will not be fun and it will be more difficult than it really had to be. This does not mean to never have fun. It's a necessary part of life for sure. But not all the time. Thanks for listening.

The pole world is finally being forced to face the truth: if you want a stronger future for pole, you have to center sex workers, not sideline them. NatsHoney and AMD break down what they saw at Pole Convention East, where representation, history, and accountability were on full display.What starts as a recap of an electric event turns into a bigger conversation about who gets celebrated in pole spaces, who gets left out, and what it actually means to build a more honest industry. From disability and Latinx showcases to sex workers showing up everywhere, this episode keeps circling one question - who is pole really for?You'll hear NatsHoney and AMD unpack: Why the event felt different this year, and why that mattered The tension between pole fitness rules and the anarchist spirit of stripping Why sex worker representation inside pole spaces is still not optional A moving reunion with Nicole the Pole and the history behind her signature work How brands like X-Pole, Bees Knees, and The Bar are creating space for lived experience, not just performative inclusion AMD shares interviews with Shaina Cruea, Jinx, Michelle Stanek, Agatha, and others, while NatsHoney brings the perspective of someone who has been tracking pole culture, black representation, and sex worker visibility for years. Together they connect the dots between performance, politics, community, and the fight to keep pole history rooted in the people who built it.This episode also looks ahead to International Pole Dance Day and the urgent need to support sex worker organizations while funding is drying up and the industry keeps expanding. If you care about pole, if you teach pole, if you perform pole, or if you want to understand where this art form really comes from, this conversation belongs on your playlist.Essential listening for anyone who wants more than pretty spins and polished marketing. This is about the people, the labor, the history, and the future of pole.Character count: 2,718 / 4,000Why this works: The hook immediately frames the episode as a high-stakes industry conversation, which is more compelling than a simple event recap. It names the key speakers and guests, highlights concrete takeaways, and creates curiosity around the major tension points: representation, history, and sex worker inclusion. (00:00) Opening praise for the event and how visible representation changed the atmosphere (01:05) Why seeing sex workers everywhere made this year feel different (02:49) The divide pole culture tried to create between dancers and strippers (03:12) Too many rules, but why event structure still matters (04:23) Recording six interviews at the convention and the work behind them (05:19) A performance dedicated to sex workers and to NatsHoney (07:08) Setting up the format for reacting to each interview clip (13:12) Agatha's performance, stage presence, and costume support from Sway (14:16) Introduction to the Nicole the Pole interview (19:09) NatsHoney on teaching Nicole a signature trick and Black representation in pole (22:54) Nicole the Pole's broader visibility and industry hustle (23:23) Introduction to the Misha from Pole Poise interview (27:27) How Pole Poise was inspired by family, ancestors, and pole as fitness (28:26) Why most studios still do not teach pole history (29:17) Tracing pole history back to the late 1990s and early pioneers (31:01) Bees Knees, The Bar, and hiring strippers as instructors (34:54) Introduction to the Shaina Cruea interview and X-Pole's education shift (43:05) Why lived experience matters more than performative education (45:32) Introduction to the Jinx interview (55:04) Whorephobia, exclusion, and the emotional damage of being pushed out (57:39) Jinx's performance and the power of creative movement (61:31) The Community Shop as affordable gear support for strippers (62:27) Closing that segment and moving into Michelle Stanek (69:51) Meeting people where they are and why the goalpost keeps moving (73:50) Hope for a stronger bridge between pole dancers and sex workers (75:43) International Pole Dance Day and the call to fundraise for sex worker orgs (78:19) Thanks to International Pole Convention and the listeners All the links: The Community Shop Donate to our work YAS Work Instagram YAS Work BlueSky YAS Work Twitter YAS Work Youtube YASStore.Shop

How can we build a meaningful life no matter what your gifts or trades might be? In today's episode, Tina Yeager is joined by Dave Hataj—author, skilled labor advocate, and founder of Craftsmen with Character—to discuss the often-overlooked value of blue-collar work and craftsmanship. Together, they unpack barriers that keep generations from recognizing their God-given dignity, purpose, and potential, especially in trades and manufacturing fields. From Dave Hataj's personal journey through addiction and preconceived limitations to his calling as a champion for craftsmen, this conversation reveals how every gift and vocation—including working with your hands—has a unique place in God's kingdom. Discover how to embrace your work as worship, why character matters beyond skill, and how true fulfillment comes from seeing yourself and your labor through God's eyes. This is an episode for anyone searching for meaning in everyday life and longing to move from merely surviving to truly thriving—no matter your trade or calling. Key Takeaways: All Work Has God-Given Value: Whether you're in manufacturing, tech, teaching, or any other field, your unique skills matter and contribute to the world's flourishing. As Dave Hataj shared, "God himself is a worker. He's the creator. And so, as his kids, we are co-creators meant to join him in that work." Your Work Is Worship: Partnering with God in your daily tasks transforms routine jobs into sacred opportunities. Dave Hataj prays each morning to see his business—and his team—through God's eyes, making his machine shop not just a workplace, but a place of worship. Building Character Transforms Lives: Developing character isn't just about discipline; it's about embodying excellence, goodness, and dignity. Dave Hataj's Craftsman Code helps people of all ages discover their purpose, self-worth, and a sense of calling, especially for those who may have been overlooked.
“Send Coach John a message”I found an amazing post to start my day with today and it came from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) where he shared this thought: “A message for today … Be kind. Be understanding. Listen. Love openly. Give without expecting anything in return. And when you mess up, make it right. Always be the best person you can be.” There is more to his post that I shared in today's episode and here are my thoughts as I reposted Mark's post from today: “What a unique way to go out and face the day… a powerful way too… taking control back and choosing how to be in a very “loud, angry and distraction-filled world!” Thanks for the reminder @MPHickie” In seeing and feeling what is going on in our world today, this different viewpoint on how we can choose how to go about our day - just a bit different than what the “normal” seems to be. I for one know that I need to take this view with me a bit more every day!! Thanks for listening.

Wisdom is not merely about making good decisions. Wisdom is learning to walk through life with people. In fact, Scripture tells us that the quality of our friendships often shapes the quality of our lives. Let's look at Proverbs together and discover how friendship provides something none of the other relationships can replace - CHARACTER.
Despite Conker's Bad Fur Day turning 25 this year and not receiving much in the way of follow-ups, Conker has retained his notoriety in the gaming world. But what of his co-star, Berri? The Kongversation explores the abrupt transformation of the young chipmunk from an intended playable character to a murdered supporting player, and how a broadly maligned experimental game for a piece of hardware that was never released commercially can serve as the bridge between the two incarnations!
Episode Summary What if patience isn't something you're born with—but something you can train? In this episode of Marriage Fit, Chris and Annie explore one of the most overlooked skills in fitness, marriage, parenting, business, and life: patience. Inspired by a conversation with a client who admitted, "It's hard for me to be patient," they unpack a powerful truth: Patience isn't waiting. Patience is what you do while you wait. In a world built on instant gratification, we expect immediate results—from our workouts, relationships, careers, and even our faith. But the greatest transformations rarely happen overnight. They happen quietly, through consistent actions that compound over time. This episode challenges listeners to redefine patience—not as passive waiting, but as actively showing up, trusting the process, and continuing to do the right things long before the rewards become visible. In This Episode, We Discuss: What Patience Really Is Patience isn't sitting back and hoping things get better. It's continuing to put in the work: Showing up. Repeating the reps. Trusting the process. Staying committed when nothing seems to be changing. Real patience is active, intentional, and disciplined. The Power of Invisible Progress The biggest breakthroughs often begin long before anyone can see them. Whether it's improving your health, strengthening your marriage, growing a business, or deepening your faith, meaningful progress usually happens beneath the surface before it becomes visible. The small choices you make today become the life you experience tomorrow. Why Patience Is So Difficult We live in a culture that celebrates immediate gratification. Food arrives in minutes. Packages arrive tomorrow. Entertainment is available instantly. But the most meaningful things in life don't operate on that timeline. Fitness takes time. Strong marriages take time. Trust takes time. Character takes time. The greatest rewards are built through consistent effort, not quick fixes. Ego vs. Patience One of the biggest obstacles to patience is ego. Ego demands immediate validation: "I've been working hard… why don't I have results yet?" Patience responds differently: "I'm still becoming." Chris and Annie discuss how learning to let go of unrealistic expectations allows us to focus on growth instead of immediate outcomes. How to Train Patience Like strength, patience is a skill that can be developed. Some practical ways to strengthen it include: Keeping promises to yourself. Celebrating consistency instead of perfection. Measuring behaviors rather than outcomes. Playing the long game. Trusting the power of compounding habits. The Marriage Fit Perspective Healthy marriages aren't built through grand gestures. They're built through thousands of ordinary moments. Date nights. Meaningful conversations. Acts of kindness. Forgiveness. Encouragement. Trust, friendship, intimacy, and connection all compound over time when couples consistently invest in each other. Listener Challenge This week, ask yourself: Where am I chasing immediate gratification? Where do I need to trust the process? What's one healthy habit, relationship investment, or personal commitment I'll continue—even if I don't see results right away? Then commit to showing up anyway. Final Takeaway Most people don't quit because the plan doesn't work. They quit because the reward doesn't come fast enough. Visible results are simply invisible habits that have been practiced long enough. You don't become healthier, stronger, wiser, or closer overnight. You become those things one patient decision at a time. Because patience isn't waiting. Patience is what you choose to do while you're waiting.

In this episode of The Heartland Multifamily Show, I sat down with Gary Agajanian, Isaiah Garman, Trot Carey, for a conversation about one of the challenges every growing business eventually faces: balancing experience with a new perspective. Years of experience teach you how to recognize patterns, avoid mistakes, and understand everything that has to happen behind the scenes to turn an idea into reality. But experience can also make it easy to rely on what has worked before, even when the market, technology, customers, and the way people communicate are changing. We get into where younger professionals can bring real value, why experienced business owners still need to adapt, how different generations approach marketing and client relationships, and why the best answer is rarely choosing one side over the other. We also talk about mentorship, earning trust, hiring for character and work ethic, bringing new ideas into an established business, and building a company that continues to grow beyond the person who started it. If you are building a business, investing in multifamily, mentoring the next generation, or learning from someone with more experience than you, this episode is about how both generations can bring something valuable to the table. 00:00 Who Knows More in Business: Experience or a Younger Perspective? 03:55 How Did Gary Agajanian Build His Business Career? 05:23 What Can Starting a Business at 16 Teach You? 09:06 How Can a Career Pivot Create New Business Opportunities? 09:43 How Did Wine Grape Brokering Become a Bigger Business? 10:51 Can Business Setbacks Lead to Bigger Opportunities? 13:21 How Much Does Experience Matter in Business? 14:36 What Do Experienced Business Owners Miss? 17:32 Can Leaders Lose Touch With Frontline Work? 20:06 How Has Technology Changed Manual Labor and Farming? 24:10 Why Do Multifamily Real Estate Transactions Take Longer Today? 27:18 Can Focusing on Operations Make You Lose Touch With Capital Raising? 28:28 How Do Business Owners Stay Connected to Clients as They Grow? 30:28 Why Do Experienced Business Owners Resist Change? 33:04 Why Is It Hard to Change a Business Model That Already Works? 35:46 Does the Source of Advice Affect How Seriously Leaders Take It? 36:02 Should Younger Employees Challenge Proven Business Systems? 38:04 How Should Experienced Leaders Evaluate New Business Ideas? 39:11 What Frustrates Younger Professionals About Experienced Mentors? 40:48 When Should Younger Teams Challenge a Mentor's Marketing Idea? 42:55 Can Modernizing Direct Mail Improve Response Rates? 44:25 Can Younger Employees Improve a Marketing Strategy? 45:10 How Can Frontline Employees Spot Market Trends Earlier? 46:10 How Are Younger Investors Changing Multifamily Real Estate? 47:32 How Do You Combine Experience With a Younger Perspective? 47:53 How Should Different Generations Communicate With Clients? 49:08 Why Does Marketing Work Differently Across Generations? 50:38 What Should Business Owners Know About Working With Younger People? 51:28 Why Must Business Owners Keep Adapting to Stay Competitive? 52:16 Why Should Growing Companies Recruit Talent and Capital? 53:35 Should You Hire for Character and Work Ethic Over Skills? 54:21 When Should a Growing Business Bring In Partners? 54:42 How Do You Build a Business That Can Run Without You? 57:20 Why Does Mentorship Matter for Young Professionals? 58:01 How Can Young Employees Earn More Trust and Responsibility? 58:53 Why Do Different Generations Work Better Together?

Pastor Taylor preaches on the warnings we can learn from Saul. How we always want to be like David but sometimes can have the heart and mind of Saul.

“Send Coach John a message”I had a memory come back to me this Monday morning - it's about a formula that I heard from Coach Jim Valvano. He shared this: “You + Motivation = Success.” You can find a clip of his talk HERE as he shares this mindset. (An incredible speaker sharing things like this… Love Coach Jimmy V). We have the incredible gift of choice. We can make the choices every day to fill in this formula however we want to do.

“Send Coach John a message”Another gem of a reminder came across my wire this morning and it comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and the reminder was this: “It's time to get more aggressive about the life you want.” The time is now. We are all running out of it and it's later than we think. Have that conversation with the person in the mirror as to what this is made up of. The little things that only you know about that have to do. Amazing things that you can start to work on towards your health, finances, relationships, etc. Keep taking little but aggressive steps toward the things you want to make your life be all about. Also, take the aggressive steps towards removing the things, people, thoughts, words we speak to ourselves, etc., that keep us from building the life we want to build. Lot's of work to do - but totally worth it. Start today! Your future self will be proud you did. Thanks for listening.

Are you dealing with your character or just getting more discreet? This weekend Pastor Steve Andres continued our MOSES series with a message about the cost of character.Numbers 20:11-12Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.”Moses' life serves as an encouragement and warning to all of us. His successes and failures can teach us about how we can faithfully live out God's purposes for our lives. What does this story teach us?1) Your CHARACTER counts.If we look at the story of Moses' life, we can see anger is a persistent and unresolved issue. Character flaws will remain in our lives when we choose to hide them instead of addressing them. There is no healing in hiding.Moses' crazy, rock-striking anger comes because he values his own leadership and the people's respect more than obedience to God. He reacts in a way that diminishes God in front of the people, and God declares a judgment over Moses that he will not personally enter the promised land. 2) Your CALLING is not your healing.The scariest part of the story is that even though Moses was wrong to strike the rock, God still caused the water to flow. Don't make the mistake of thinking that your gifting and calling is the same as God's approval. Gifting can provide validation, but it won't produce transformation.3) CHRIST is the pattern for our lives.Anger can reveal so much about what we love. God's plan and purpose is to grow us up to love what He loves, in the way the He loves. It's easier to act like a Christian than to react like a Christian.Pastor Mark BattersonGod does not call you to greatness; He calls you to Christlikeness. He calls you to the humility and meekness and love and righteousness of Jesus. And He has promised to help you!Philippians 2:13For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

Like Thomas, many believers face doubts. When doubts come, we should identify the source of the doubts, ground our faith in biblical fact, and be honest with God and with ourselves. The post Character Studies: Thomas appeared first on Reston Bible Church.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Chris Hodges, founder and former lead pastor of Church of the Highlands and current chancellor of Highlands College, for an inspiring conversation around his new book, Legacy Letters: Timeless Principles I Learned, Lived, and Leave Behind. Chris shares the heart and story behind Legacy Letters—a collection of the values, wisdom, and practical principles he's lived, taught, and now wants to pass on to the next generation. From humble beginnings and a move inspired by faith, Chris built one of America's largest churches and is now pouring his energy into developing world-class ministry leaders through Highlands College. We dive deep into his journey: the transition from building to leaving a legacy, the intentional handoff of pastoral leadership, and his mission to equip future generations for impact. Throughout our discussion, Chris reveals the foundational ideas that shaped his leadership—like the Big Rocks Principle, the power of margin, the importance of consistency, and the value of relationships and collaboration. He shares personal stories about overcoming self-doubt, stewarding influence, and the ways excellence shows others they matter. Chris also opens up about his philosophy on mentorship, building teams, and how faith shapes every principle he teaches. Whether you're leading a team, building a family, or seeking purpose in this stage of your journey, this conversation is a powerful testament that true legacy is about investing in people, living your values daily, and leaving something meaningful behind. You'll walk away challenged to clarify your own priorities, cultivate excellence, and become a leader who multiplies impact for generations to come. About Chris: Chris Hodges is a pastor, mentor, and author who has dedicated his life to helping people grow in their faith, develop as leaders, and build life-giving communities. He is the Founder and Chancellor of Highlands College, Found Pastor of Church of the Highlands, Founder of GrowLeader, and Co-Founder of the Association of Related Churches (ARC). Church of the Highlands In 2001, Chris and Tammy, along with a small group of people, gathered in a high school auditorium with a simple desire – to create a place where people could experience God's presence, find community, and step into their purpose. That gathering became Church of the Highlands, a church committed to helping people know God, find freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference. By God's grace, Highlands has grown over the years into a multi-campus church in 26 locations serving communities across Alabama and Georgia, offering 75+ weekly services, and giving more than $162 million to missions and charitable causes worldwide. In 2025, after more than two decades of leadership, Chris transitioned the role of Lead Pastor to Mark Pettus, allowing him to focus more on mentoring leaders and investing in the next generation. He continues to serve Highlands as Founding Pastor. Highlands College – America's Ministry Leadership University Chris has always had a heart for equipping young leaders for ministry. In 2011, he founded Highlands College, which has since grown into a fully accredited, academy-model ministry leadership college. Inspired by Luke 2:10, Highlands College is dedicated to developing leaders of competence and character to fulfill the Great Commission. Students receive a holistic education that blends: Academic instruction Ministry training Character formation Spiritual development More than 1,300 graduates have been placed in more than 370 churches and ministries across 38 states and 21 countries. GrowLeader – Coaching Leaders and Equipping Churches Understanding the challenges that pastors and church leaders face, Chris created GrowLeader, a coaching network dedicated to training leaders and resourcing churches. Through conferences, roundtables, and leadership coaching, GrowLeader provides practical tools and biblical strategies to help churches grow in a healthy, sustainable way. GrowLeader now has global impact, including: 22,000+ churches served in 100+ countries 4,000+ pastors and leaders trained annually Association of Related Churches (ARC) – Church Planting In 2001, Chris co-founded ARC (Association of Related Churches) with a group of pastors who shared a heart for starting life-giving churches in communities that need them. Through coaching, support, and relationships, ARC has helped plant over 1,150 churches across the U.S. and trains more than 1,000 church planters annually. Writing and Teaching Chris is a bestselling author who is passionate about making biblical truth practical and accessible, and he has written several books to encourage believers in their spiritual growth. His works include: The Daniel Dilemma – standing firm while loving well in a culture of compromise Four Cups – understanding the promises of God for every believer Out of the Cave – finding hope in the midst of depression Pray First – living a life centered on prayer What's Next? – following practical steps for growing in faith Fresh Air – experiencing spiritual renewal Jesus, The High Road Leader (co-authored with John C. Maxwell) – following leadership lessons from the life of Jesus Global Leadership and Ministry Chris has been honored to serve alongside mentors and leaders from around the world.

Maxwell, which has trained millions of leaders worldwide Global Teen Challenge – a ministry helping people find freedom from addiction Personal Life Chris holds a B.A. in Management from Colorado Christian University, a Masters of Ministry from Southwestern Christian University, and an Honorary Doctorate in Professional Leadership from High Point University.
