Sometimes the path to our calling takes many turns. Dr. Eli Jones shares

his story in his new book Run Toward your Goliaths. Despite being a

first-generation college student, Eli’s childhood was full of first-rate

learning experiences! His parents were entrepreneurial, and his dad’s work

truck was often a classroom for Eli. After graduating, Eli took several

unexpected career turns. Still eventually, he ended up back in school to

get his Ph.D., where Eli indeed found his calling as a teacher and writer!

In this interview from last year’s CLA Outcomes Conference, we speak with

National Commander – Commissioner Kenneth G. Hodder, who has been with The

Salvation Army for 33 years. Throughout the pandemic, The Salvation Army

has been working to meet the needs of the many Americans who have fallen

under the poverty line. They went from serving 52 million meals per year to

over 225 million in 2020! However, God is faithful, and giving went up by

27%, which allowed the Army to do what it does best – love people!

James Barnett has a heart for adventure and a true sense of awe, and this

part 1 of a 2-part bonus interview explores some of James’ fondest

that modeled a life of prayer, James’ family has played a large role in his

spiritual formation. His recently released book, Blue Skies: How to Live in

Extraordinary Expectation of What’s Around the Corner, captures lessons he

has learned from his family road trips.
