As I start on this journey, I want to first convey how all of this originated. You see, I have been fascinated with history since junior high school. As a 30-year veteran of the Air Force, I sought ways to communicate leadership principles through the amazing stories of those I read about in the history books that line my shelves. Then I thought about how I could integrate those two ideas (leadership and history) into the stories of faith that I had studied for years. This blog is the result of how relating these three areas has inspired me and made me want to be a better person.
My heroes from those books had names like George Washington, Wilbur and Orville Wright, Colin Powell, George Marshall, and many more. What made them stand out? Why did they prove to be men and women of greatness? What propelled them through failure to ultimate success? As I uncovered some of what I thought were the answers, I wanted to relate them to others. Again, that is the point of this journey.
Just like everything in life, people will interpret something in any number of ways. This journey just happens to be how I look at the relationships between faith, leadership, and history. You, no doubt, will look at it through a different lens. That is why diversity is such a great thing.
An an amateur just starting out, I welcome conversation, and of course, any positive suggestions for improvements. Here I go…
