    Ep. 45: Dr. Mark Walker (President of Lee University)

    In this episode, Dr. Mark Walker shares how being a pastor informed how he approached teaching and how being a professor has informed his approach to the presidency. He talks about the start of his presidency in the middle of a pandemic with two broken feet and how God has placed people around him to support him. He speaks on the weight of leadership and his family's legacy in ministry and at Lee University, as well as how he tries to have boundaries in his job.  Click here to buy a mug or sticker to support the podcast!

    Ep. 44: 2022 Closer (Thoughts and Reflections)

    In this episode, I talk about meeting my goal of uploading every other week and whether or not I met my goal with the same intention as I started it. I reflect on the year as well as the podcast generally and the experiences I've had because of it. Thank you to everyone who has listened throughout the year and thank you to everyone who has been on the podcast and shared their lives and perspectives. It has not been an easy year, both with the podcast and personally, but I'm thankful for the conversations and opportunities that have come directly from this podcast! I hope to see you in 2023!

    Ep. 42: Gloria Scott Richmond (Director of the Racial and Ethnic Relations Office at Lee University and Director of Evangelistic Singers)

    In this episode, I sat down with Mrs. Scott-Richmond, the Director of the Office of Racial and Ethnic Relations, and the Ensemble Director for the Evangelistic Singers.  She spoke about how the office was formed amid the George Floyd protests and how God called her out of retirement to push for change and growth. She suggests ways to promote racial justice and advocacy in your community, whether that be through Lee events or various service groups in different organizations.  If you want to contact Mrs. Scott-Richmond for more information, her email is grichmond@leeuniversity.edu or you can visit the Lee University website for more information. She expressed her desire to continue this conversation and is willing to help educate others in any way she can.

    Ep. 41: Paul Burgdorf (Father and Trouble Maker)

    In this episode, my dad shares stories of pickpocketing, firework pranks, stolen homework, and avoiding trouble in school.  He talks about meeting his wife, moving to Cincinnati, and going from a quiet liturgical UCC church to a charismatic, predominantly African-American church and how that challenged him to think outside of his own preferences. I love my father and I hope that through this episode you get to see why!
