In this episode of the Faithly Stories podcast, hosts Alicia Lee and Adam Durso welcome Dr. Rupert A. Hayles, Jr., President of Roberts Wesleyan University and Northeastern Seminary. From his early days in Jamaica to leadership in the military, business, and ministry, Dr. Hayles shares how faith has shaped his life and leadership.
Now leading Roberts Wesleyan into a bold new chapter, Dr. Hayles discusses the university’s expansion into NYC—a response to the closure of faith-based institutions and a renewed commitment to Christian higher education. With deep insight on emotional intelligence, character formation, and spiritual leadership, he offers a hopeful vision for the future of learning and faith.
