I was invited to write this article for "Leading Ideas," a resource provided by the Lewis Center for Church Leadership out of DC/Wesley Seminary. Honored to rep so many Ohio United Methodists and share “Why Joy Drives Leadership."

With last night’s midnight deadline to apply for a Go Grant, the results are in. We’re blown away by all of the new things God is doing across West Ohio via Go Grants! We give thanks! ❤️ And way to go, West Ohio. The atmosphere is changing!🙏💡
Cynicism, negativity, divisiveness corrode the soul. We can limit their grip. For those of us who claim the name of Jesus, Galatians 5 points us to a better way: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”
West Ohio, the deadline to apply for a 2026 Go Grant is tonight at midnight. We’re excited to see the dreams God has placed within you. Simple application at westohiogrants.org.
Not every day do you get to sit with history. Proud of my brother Barry and nephew Joel for the chance to spend time with two living U.S. Presidents. Truly an opportunity of a lifetime.
Results are in from @USNews for the 2026 Best Colleges! 🌟
