Welcome to the 100th episode of the Sojournal podcast! It has been quite a journey over the last couple years as we have interviewed alumni and leaders from both campuses of Johnson University. If you are like me, we have learned a great deal about how God works in unique ways to bring people to Christ and lead them in submission to His good kingdom purposes.
Our 50th episode featured Dr. David Eubanks (former faculty, president on the Tennessee campus, and provost of the Florida campus). To honor the 100th episode, we are blessed to welcome Dr. L. Thomas "Tommy" Smith into the studio. From Dr. Smith, we learn about what it is like to be raised in "upper east Tennessee" under the influence of distinguished alumni like Tommy ('69) Oaks and L. D. ('65) Campbell. We also learn about his journey in college and in ministry before landing as a faculty member on the Tennessee campus in 1989. Tommy shares what it was like to be a president whose whole direction and strategic plan shifted during the global pandemic.
I was incredibly blessed to have him as a guest and I know you will be blessed to listen in on our conversation.
