Letting Hope Abound with Dr. Greg Jones, President of Belmont University (Type 3)

As President of Belmont University, Dr. Greg Jones sees the importance of connection and community and puts a strong emphasis on molding character through storytelling.

“I think that people are yearning for that sense of hope and that sense of community,” says Dr. Jones, “and, I think, to be able to hear one another’s stories, share one another’s stories, and find a story worth living.”

This week, we talk to Greg about whole-person formation, learning to share our stories well, and looking toward a future full of possibilities.
