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.   --- Dr. Jones is an author, gifted speaker, media contributor and thought leader in higher education, social innovation and theology. His most recent book, Navigating the Future: Traditioned Innovation for Wilder Seas outlines his perspective on traditioned innovation as “a habit of being and living that cultivates a certain kind of moral imagination shaped by storytelling and expressed in creative, transformational action.” To learn more about Dr. Greg Jones, view his profile at LinkedIn or Belmont University.
