Justin Tilghman is a dean at a college and is heavily involved in higher education. He also leads a busy life outside of work with his wife and two young boys, as well as being an elder in their church and engaging in life and leadership coaching.
The conversation revolves around Justin's daily routine, finding balance between work, family, and other commitments, and integrating his faith into the workplace. Justin emphasizes the importance of not compartmentalizing his faith but rather being open and upfront about it. While he has to be careful about initiating faith-related discussions in his state college job, he remains authentic and leads with integrity, which creates opportunities for genuine conversations with colleagues and students.
Both Paige and Justin discuss the importance of staying informed about the world, but they also highlight the need to balance it with being present in their local communities. They touch on the power of vulnerability and transparency, as well as the misconception that Christians must have everything together, emphasizing the significance of admitting struggles and seeking forgiveness.
The conversation also delves into the negative perceptions some people may have about Christians due to the actions of certain individuals. They express the need for Christians to have a positive "PR campaign" by exemplifying Christ's teachings in their everyday lives and interactions with others.
