Скачать или смотреть Clarity and Steadfastness in Leadership Amid Cultural Pressures | Dr. Thomas White | Cedarville

Dr. Thomas White shares his leadership journey, emphasizing the vital role clarity plays in leading a Christian academic institution like ‪@cedarvilleuniversity‬. A major focus of the conversation is how Cedarville’s transition from a vague marketing slogan to the biblically grounded vision statement "For the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ" has transformed the institution. This clarity has led to intentional hiring, curriculum structuring, and culture-building that prioritizes gospel-centered education and discipleship.

Dr. White delves into the challenges and responsibilities of upholding doctrinal clarity, especially on cultural flashpoints like LGBTQ+ identity, creation vs. evolution, and the authority of Scripture. He emphasizes reframing identity through a biblical lens—rooted in being in Christ rather than sexuality or career—and calls for bold leadership that is both clear and loving. This principled clarity helps Cedarville foster a unified, joyful, and spiritually vibrant campus environment. He also champions vocational calling, encouraging students to live missionally in whatever field they are passionate about, seeing every job as a platform for gospel witness and service to the local church.
