In a culture that rewards ambiguity, how does a Christian leader say clearly what he believes and hold the line? In this episode of Leader to Leader, Paul Davis talks with Dr. Thomas White, president of Cedarville University, about leading with doctrinal clarity, forming biblical identity in students, and refusing to trade conviction for applause. They discuss Cedarville’s redefined mission, its stand on issues like biblical sexuality and creation, and what it takes to build a discipleship-driven campus culture.
