Living Wholehearted Podcast With Jeff and Terra30 Aug 2022

Episode 144: Leadership at the University & Beyond with Joseph Clair

Jeff Mattson sits down with Joseph Clair, Executive Dean at George Fox University, to discuss life and leadership on the university campus and beyond. Joseph shares how he has integrated his passion for faith and learning, stemming from his own story, finding Christ in high school and being hungry for knowledge and intellectual challenge. He wants students to have the same experience where they do not have to compromise one or the other. Joseph also shares his observations on the changing landscape of college life for students from a pre-pandemic to a post-pandemic world. As an expert student of the Scriptures, Joseph shares his love for Augustine wisdom and what Augustine might say to both emerging and seasoned leaders today. Any leader who has a passion for the next generation, or a parent who is preparing to launch a child into adulthood, will find this podcast to be a powerful catalyst in your own leadership journey.

A native Oregonian, Joseph Clair followed his educational pursuit all over the world and earned degrees in both England and the United States. He became professor of Theology and Philosophy and now Executive Dean at George Fox University after receiving his doctorate in Religion, Ethics, and Politics from Princeton University in 2013. He earned his bachelor's degree at Wheaton College (IL), a master’s in theological studies from Duke, a master’s in philosophy at Fordham, and a master's in philosophy of religion from Cambridge where he studied as a Gates Cambridge Scholar. He is the author of Discerning the Good in the Letters and Sermons of Augustine (Oxford University Press, 2016) and On Education, Formation, Citizenship, and the Lost Purpose of Learning (Bloomsbury, 2017) along with numerous articles and essays on faith, culture, and ethics. He is currently co-authoring an essay on Christian medical ethics entitled, Love Your Patient As Yourself, due out in 2023. In his spare time, he likes to spend time with his wife, Nora, play with his four kids, fly fish Oregon's many rivers, and work on his hobby farm.
