MTP 29: Karen Petersen PART 1, Bringing one's whole self into leadership & getting criticism for it.

Meet The Prof, with Shane & Spence

Dr. Karen Petersen is the president of Hendrix College. We discuss Dr. Petersen's embarrassing moment at her college graduation, her difficult childhood, and her transformation through encountering God's grace. She shares how her faith has influenced her leadership and the role of community in her spiritual growth. She talks about the importance of servant leadership and she encourages leaders to bring their whole selves to their roles and not separate their faith from their work. She shares her perspective on being a public believer and the pushback she has received, but emphasizes that it is small compared to what God has done in her life.
