Leanne W. Smith

I had my first real conversation with Dr. Leonard Allen, dean of the College of Bible and Ministry at Lipscomb, on a bus trip in 2014. In this episode I learned new insights about Leonard. He was born to be a truth-seeker. His vocational focus was shaped by early influences, like Tiger’s Milk. And he is using his own influence to hire outward-facing faculty to ensure that the pursuit of religious and intellectual truth continues strong into the future.

Leonard's latest book, which we talk about on this episode, is The Bookroom, releasing May 7, 2024. For links to all my podcasts, visit leannewsmith.com.
