Leonard Allen: “A Truth-seeker Weaned on Tiger’s Milk”
Show Notes

I had my first real conversation with 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.
