"Hope Rises" with Bill Simmons


Listen Later

Show Notes:

Bill Simmons is the President and CEO of Hope Rises International, formerly American Leprosy Missions. Founded in 1906, Hope Rises is a parachurch organization that seeks to bring healing and hope to people suffering from neglected diseases like leprosy. The organization’s mission is to live and proclaim the gospel while bringing healing to those in need.

Bill has been a leader on many boards and organizations, and has worked in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors. He believes in the importance of spiritual practices in organizational life, and uses "pause, psalm, and prayer" before meetings to focus and center his employees. His book, The Way of Interruption is the result of his experiences during his three-month sabbatical, and it offers some practical steps and simple liturgies for Christ-centered leaders.
