Leading With Purpose Summer Series
Join Philip Dearborn, President of ABHE, for a special summer series designed to strengthen your leadership and renew your sense of mission. Every other week, you’ll hear one of the most-listened-to conversations from past seasons. Each episode offering practical encouragement and a fresh reminder of why Christ-centered higher education matters.

Originally aired Oct 2023

Be it blind arrogance or a lack of accountability, it can be easy for church and academic leaders to allow pride to consume them and to point fingers when they fall.

That’s why Bill Blocker, President of the College of Biblical Studies - Houston, believes the leadership journey should start by understanding that it’s not about you. God doesn’t care how talented you are — only that you’re available to use your gifts to lead and inspire others.   

Bill shares how Christ called him from the legal industry to help equip others and what leading from the front with humility means to him.    

Join us as we discuss:

  • Measuring personal success in how you inspire others (6:11)

  • What God cares about more than your abilities (11:43)

  • Stumbling blocks that Christian leaders need to avoid (18:40)
