Belmont Way

By Dr. L. Gregory Jones

In a world overwhelmed by chaos and fragmentation, hope may seem oblivious, pointless, or even absurd-but it may be the only way our institutions will stand the test of time. Hope leads us beyond survival to creative leadership and thriving communities.

The Belmont Way: Education with SOUL reveals that Christ-centered educational institutions are uniquely equipped to inspire, incubate, and put hope into action, shaping and championing individuals who go forth with faith-centered vision, entrepreneurial spirit, creative courage, and compassionate service.

Dr. L. Gregory Jones, President of Belmont University and former Dean of Duke Divinity School, shares stories from students, staff, faculty, musical artists, nonprofit leaders, parents, and agents of hope around the world. Whether you are shepherding

an institution or seeking a light in a world that often feels dark, The Belmont Way will help you understand:

What separates hope from optimismThe key elements educational institutions are missing that will move them from fear-based survival strategies to new life and far-reaching future impactHow to employ the SOUL framework and encourage entrepreneurship that goes beyond the pursuit of profitHow a wide variety of vocations can foster hope in places where it's most neededWhy setting fire to the past keeps us from moving forwardHow to redeem modern technology to help us become more human and bring us closer together

From monks in ancient monasteries to nurses and musicians serving in today's hospitals and concert halls, one principle is clear: Christ-centered communities and institutions have the tools the world needs to weather life's storms. Now, more than ever, we must expand our imagination for what we can do together with our eyes fixed on Christ, our hearts attuned to one another, and our souls nourished by hope.
