TIME TO RISE with Dr. Luff

By Dr. Doug Luffborough, III, Ph.D.

TIME TO RISE Podcast, hosted by Dr. Luff explores life lessons of courage, hope, and determination. Dr. Luff is the oldest son of a housekeeper who grew up in poverty, was homeless in high school, and was told by his high school guidance counselor that he was not college material. Instead of listening to the limiting beliefs of others, Dr. Luff went on to become the student commencement speaker at Northeastern University, graduated from the Harvard University Graduate School of Education, and received his Ph.D. in Leadership Studies from the University of San Diego.

Episode #13 - Rethinking Outreach - A Field Guide Interview with Author and Reverend John Hughes.

In this episode, Dr. Luff sits down with Author and Reverend John Hughes to discuss his new upcoming book entitled: Rethinking Outreach - A Field Guide. I have had the pleasure of knowing Reverend Hughes for over a decade and since the day I met him, I knew three things - he loves God, he is committed to servant leadership, and he is grounded in nonprofit community-based ministry. In his book, he teaches you that ministry is a vocation and not just a feel good performance on Sundays. This book is not just about preparing pastors for the pulpit but preparing them for the public square. If you are not interested in playing church but being the church to the community you live in, read Rethinking Outreach - A Field Guide and see God move, not just inside the walls of your church, but where it matters most - in the community.
