Imagine you were smart, I mean rocket-scientist smart, MIT smart, and you became a nuclear engineer, while earning a PH.D. in urban planning, but you also felt a calling to become a minister.

Arkansas native, Dr. Chris Jones, the son of two preachers and father to three daughters, felt called to serve the people of Arkansas, the place where he and his family had lived for the past 200 years.

So what would you do if you had this amazing life as a private citizen, but your faith was calling you to give a voice to the people who have been ignored for generations? Would you and your wife stay where you were so as not to uproot your family? Or would you together decide that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and run for Governor of the state that you called home?
