  Using Ancient Wisdom to Become a Spiritual Shepherd Today

As Dean of Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, Dr. Tim Laniak’s career is nothing short of stellar. From managing Foreign Student and Section 8 housing to Ethno-archaeological research among Bedouin shepherds in the Middle East, Laniak’s perspective on serving others has morphed a great deal from his original naiveté. What he has unearthed through his journey – is a treasure.   He continually asked himself ‘Isn’t helping people simple?’ and ‘Isn’t being a leader synonymous with being a servant?’ But now Tim says “What I’ve learned along the way – is truly surprising.”

 

 

 

  Navigating Through Stormy Waters

During his junior year of high school, Vince Coakley worked as a disc jockey and even then declared the sovereignty of God.  From there, his career in broadcasting took him to radio and lead news anchor at WSOC TV.  And then the sovereignty of God (which he says ‘navigated’ him along the way) took him through a public firing and a sudden diagnosis of a brain tumor.  So what would Vince tell his young DJ?  Relationships matter.  Oh… and what would he tell you?  He says “This will be worth your price of admission.”
