Episode 006: Walking Through Open Doors with Dr. Porterfield


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Dr. Dina Porterfield, President of Seattle Pacific University, for an honest and inspiring conversation about leadership, faith, and the responsibility that comes with opportunity.

Dr. Porterfield shares her remarkable journey—from being a first-generation college student who wasn’t “supposed” to go to college, to serving as president of two universities and a seminary. Along the way, she reflects on the importance of sponsorship over mentorship, the role men play in opening doors for women, and why leadership requires both confidence and deep humility.
