FROM THE

President’s Desk To the “uncommon” Johnson University community: As Debbie and I welcomed new students and their families to campus on the move-in days to begin the fall semester, we witnessed the campus coming back to life after a much-too-long period of remote instruction and summer planning for the resumption of faceto-face classes. Even with masks and social distancing, there was an energy and enthusiasm obviously present as returning students reconnected and new students finally realized their desire to enroll at Johnson University.

Our mission is to educate students to extend the kingdom of God among all nations, and even a pandemic cannot keep us from that task. One of our core values is learning within a nurturing community—the benefit of a Christian education is not only what you learn, but who you learn from, and who you learn with. Deep learning certainly takes place in the classroom, but it also occurs in the chapel, dining hall, dormitories, and recreational spaces.

Being able to resume on-campus, face-to-face instruction better enables us to fulfill our mission, and the longterm viability and sustainability of that mission depends to a great degree upon how effective we are in maintaining this strong sense of community.

We do so, however, with the greatest of care for our campus communities.

We have implemented a detailed guide to campus life that includes the core actions of mitigating the risk of COVID-19 infection. Every campus member made the Pandemic Promise and committed to act responsibly in regard to one’s own health, to guard the health of others, and do whatever is necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Many measures have been taken to ensure that the campus environment is as safe as possible. There is much, however, that is out of our control. We continue to do our best to monitor the health of our campuses and take immediate action when necessary.

Given the uncertainty around the coronavirus pandemic, we make the best decisions possible with the best available information, trusting in God’s care.

students, and fulfill the worthy mission that God has entrusted to us. Will you consider a special gift to the University during these uncertain and challenging times?

We do not know the full financial impact that the pandemic will have on the University at this point. We anticipate facing a number of financial challenges including uncertainty around endowment income, unbudgeted refunds, unexpected expenses related to the pandemic, a potential negative effect on giving, and the unpredictable impact on enrollment. Many of our students and their families have endured financial hardship as a consequence of the pandemic, which makes Johnson’s ability to offer low tuition rates and award generous scholarships even more crucial. Your generosity will help us maintain our financial stability, sustain our quality academic programs and services, provide opportunity for our

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).

This issue of the Johnson Magazine focuses on our tremendously effective Ph.D. program in Leadership Studies with an interview with the designer and founding director of that program, Dr. Alicia Crumpton. It gives insight into a remarkable accomplishment and expresses the University’s great gratitude to Dr. Crumpton for her exceptional leadership. You will also be introduced to the new director of the program, Dr. Chris Beard, in our new “On Mission” feature that highlights alumni who are living out the mission of Johnson University.

AN INTERVIEW

with Dr. Alicia Crumpton

Alicia developed Johnson’s doctoral program from the very beginning and has stewarded its students and its success for the last ten years. As she prepared to transition out of this role, she sat down with President Smith to discuss the distinctives of the Johnson Ph.D. and how its students are changing the world.

Tommy Smith: Tell me about the process of starting this program from scratch. What has it been like?

their work lives. I wanted to develop a program that could create more effective leaders.

I probably wouldn’t have agreed to design this program in a non-Christian environment. A differentiator of Christian education has to be the concern for human flourishing and spiritual formation. It has to integrate the understanding of God with adult learning theory. So developing this program encompassed how I’m designed as a person, and it tapped into my lived experience and my disciplinary training.

Alicia Crumpton: Humbling. Having spent more than twenty years in consulting, I saw people who did not understand how to manage change being elevated from technical roles to leadership roles. I also observed a “Sunday-Monday split” in their ability to integrate spiritual beliefs with

TS: How does that vision get translated into a specific academic program?

could combine those values with an accessible, achievable, affordable, accreditable program.

AC: It didn’t change much, actually.

I’ve thought about this and questioned if that is a fault of my leadership.

AC: I reviewed 97 doctoral programs focused on leadership development, organizational theory, or some aspect of leadership. I developed a rubric and analyzed those programs against that rubric, looking at target audiences, curriculum, process, and modality. Through that process, I came to understand there was a gap—programs did not emphasize the person, worldview, and culture. I saw an opportunity to translate what I learned into a program that would be uniquely Johnson and would be consistent with our history and our ethos.

TS: The initial curriculum came out of that design. Did that change over time as you implemented the program? What kind of lessons did you learn?

Should I have been more aggressive about change? But when I looked at the program outcomes and interacted with students, we were achieving the objectives we set forth. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Certainly we changed classes and texts over time, but we were seeing results beyond what we imagined in terms of transformation and leadership development. So we didn’t change any of the actual curriculum. We did improve at pedagogy in a fully online environment.

We were focused on developing “PhD-ers” rather than focusing narrowly on content mastery or skills.

I think that focus on the person is a distinctive of the program, and why our retention numbers are good. We assumed that if a person was accepted into our program, that person was a strategic leader. The emphasis was transforming students, not changing the program.

I still remember the first day I stepped on Johnson’s campus. It was Homecoming 2009, and I realized this place cares about aesthetics—beauty and design are important here—and it’s intense about an ethic of care and hospitality. So with that knowledge of who Johnson is, combined with my knowledge of our mission and our historical focus, I realized we

TS: And you did it online. How did you create that community of care and develop people with an online modality?

AC: I think it begins with leadership, with commitment to relational care, and with the faculty seeing themselves as creating space within which the student, the faculty, and God can show up.

That sounds corny, but I really believe the role of the faculty is first to create a space. Then you apply content and pedagogy and teaching methods. We were active on social media, we called, we sent birthday cards, we tried to have a personal touch. Where we have to be firm in terms of accreditation, we were firm. The program is rigorous. But we also managed the journey of each student in a way that each one felt they could be part of it.

At one point a student called me and said, “I’m going through some really hard things, but I need to stay in the program because I need the care, the discipline, and the structure of the program to help me figure it out.” That was when I realized we’d created something that transcended the academics and created community, and that this was a place people felt they could bring their whole person.

That was a good day.

TS: You demonstrated magnificent student recruitment skills. You are a recruiting machine. How did you do that?

AC: If mid-career working adults are going to do a Ph.D., right away I know something big is happening in their lives, because you have to be crazy to do that. Second, I believe they’re strategic leaders, and I believe God uses strategic leaders in their sphere of influence to draw people to him.

To the extent I think we’re a good fit, I’m not afraid to say I think this is a good program for you and to close the deal.

Their research interests are wildly different, which is the beauty of interdisciplinary studies. They’re curious and interesting. They’re world-changers. They’re growing in their faith, they’re understanding complexity, and they’re able to see every situation in new ways.

TS: And the graduates are doing remarkable things. What are some of the ways they’re leading?

AC: They are writing books, starting consulting firms, leading churches, planting churches, teaching. They direct spiritual formation projects, provide executive leadership, and work in health care, law enforcement, or the military. Many stay in their career, but take on new challenges.

TS: As we close, what question do you wish I had asked you?

AC: Maybe the question is what I would do differently. Instead of creating a school of business, I would have created a school of professional studies focused on leadership development. Johnson does it the best of anybody, but it would be even more interdisciplinary with a humanities backbone, and an artsbased pedagogy underpinning it, to draw people toward a different way of thinking and being. I think the problems we’re facing in the world are going to take a humanities kind of brain that can see holistically and understand archetypal patterns.

I would create an incubator for generativity and imagination that would bring us together to solve world problems. No research would be done that didn’t solve a world problem or at least inform our understanding of one.

TS: What have been your biggest obstacles and your greatest joys?

What is your hope for the future?

AC: Being 100% online was an obstacle. But one of the things I admire about Johnson is we overcame the “we’ve never done it before” obstacle. We dug in and figured it out as we went. It really is a testament to the resilience of Johnson and its commitment that we just made it happen. We received accreditation in June, and Dr. Weedman wanted it operational in January. That’s a short recruiting cycle! But there’s that Johnson work ethic, and we made it happen.

I think that work ethic and the commitment to excellence in all things were the biggest joys. The care for students and figuring out how to do that in a virtual environment, the strong support from the registrar and admissions and the faculty—those were joys, as well.

For the future, I feel a sense of urgency for more numbers.

Not from an organizational or financial stance, but because our world needs more strategic Christian leaders.

Students and alumni enjoy time together at the Ph.D. commencement reception.

Contemplating

LEADERSHIP in the midst of a global pandemic

By Dr. Sheila Timm, Like many other organizations, Johnson University has been adapting to the pandemic and striving to make decisions that are I N THE B E ST I NT E R ESTS O F O UR STU D EN TS, O UR STA F F and FAC U LTY, and O UR M I SSIO N .

THIS MAY, Johnson University Ph.D. students gathered VIRTUALLY to discuss what we can learn and HOW WE CAN LEAD DURING THIS TIME.

The perpetual desire for learning is deeply rooted and encouraged in the Johnson University Ph.D. program in Leadership. Each year, the Ph.D. community participates in a retreat to share experiences and challenges common to advanced learning. This year, along with rest of the world, we were met with an unexpected, life-altering event. As scholars, the Ph.D. faculty, graduates, and current students opened up discussion links via Zoom to consider our individual and collective experience from the pandemic.

The group discussions aimed to explore the human experience in the midst of the pandemic through a personal/individual, organizational/ collective, and leadership perspective.

The predominant themes included cycles of emotion and a need for normalcy; individual rights versus

duties to others; a remote educational and work model; and a leadership model based on empathy, critical thinking, and a steadfast countenance in uncertain situations.

The virtual roundtable participants discussed experiences that produced a range of emotions. Some participants expressed loneliness while others experienced disrupted solitude due to family members returning home full-time. The identified emotions included fear, isolation, stress, empathy, and anger. The sense of loss associated with canceled milestone celebrations, loss of family members, fear of the unknown, and the cycle of grief was a significant theme discussed in the group sessions.

With the pandemic, the home became the epicenter of all roles and activity.

This shift created a deconstruction of previous role compartmentalization toward blurred roles and expanded boundaries, as families inherited

the additional roles of teacher without a caregiver infrastructure while trying to maintain job roles and responsibilities complicated by constant interruptions. The pandemic forced an abrupt new normal for daily life followed by an innate psychological desire to return to the previously known normal, causing levels of cognitive dissonance in our identity. New ways to experience life emerged, with a growing interest in simple pleasures such as fishing and gardening. Even the individual’s view of technology shifted from a form of isolation and distraction to a means of connectivity with others. The desire for connectedness generated the theme of personal needs balanced with our duty for others.

As Americans, individual rights and freedom are core to our cultural identity, but the pandemic forced the need to consider others with a call to love our neighbors as ourselves.

The group discussion on organizational changes predicted the trend for increased remote learning and work. As employers are forced to experiment with the remote work model due to the pandemic, previous concerns about employee productivity away from on-site supervision will

likely subside. Corporate leaders may reconsider operating and overhead costs associated with maintaining large on-site facilities.

The primary challenge will be the recalibration of the work/ family dynamic and the need to create a workspace within the home to mitigate distractions and interruptions from daily family life.

Other benefits included decreased commute time, flexible hours, decreased business travel, and the freedom to work independently, which benefits the environment as well.

The discussions culminated in an exploration of desired leadership characteristics post-pandemic.

Leaders are often expected to produce quick solutions in the modern culture, but the pandemic proved that answers are not always readily available. The preferred post-pandemic leader would have the ability to stand in the unknown with empathy and a steadfast countenance while being capable of creative solutions through collaborative engagement.

Congruent with the Johnson University mission, future leaders need to demonstrate an unwavering faith necessary to lead others out of despair toward the light of Christ.

DR. DEREK

BR OW N

Dissertation: A Friendly Ecclesiology: An Exploration of the Adoption and Integration of the Pastoral System by Kansas Yearly Meeting of Friends Dr. Brown is vice president for graduate studies at Barclay College, where he also chairs the Pastoral Ministry program. His first book, On Quakers and Pastors, provided a practical outline of a Friends pastoral ethos, and he is currently working on a monograph for the Brill Research Perspectives in Quaker Studies series.

Dr. Brown’s doctoral work explored the intersection of ecclesiology and leadership studies through a study of the adoption of the pastoral system (making use of a professionalized, compensated clergy) by the Kansas Yearly Meeting of Friends (the Quaker denomination which existed from 18721978). Since Quaker theology had, to that point, rejected clergy, the research explored the emergence of the pastoral role (with its accompanying explicit and implicit expectations of leadership).

Derek used a historical case study method (which involved coding over 15,000 pages of documents) to reveal that while the adoption of the pastoral system was clearly communicated in official documentation, some of the foci of pastoral leadership and authority were both conceptually and practically vague. He is currently working on a monograph which both traces the evolution of Quaker ecclesiology in America and provides a comparative analysis of extant, articulated Quaker ecclesiology (or lack thereof) with established ecclesiological frameworks.

Derek is married to his college sweetheart, Jessica, and has twin daughters, Sophia and Sarah.

BEARD Chris Beard is a Johnson University alumnus twice; in 2010 he graduated with a Master of Arts in New Testament, and in 2016 he was the first graduate of Johnson University’s Ph.D. program in Leadership Studies.

He has served as lead minister at Christ Covenant Church in Beaumont, Texas, since 2010, and in July he began serving as the new director of Johnson’s doctoral program.

Chris began the Johnson Ph.D. to improve his own leadership in the local church, and he wrote his dissertation on how adult learning theory impacts spiritual formation.

“Jesus incorporated the experiences of his audience into his parables and also sent his disciples out to actively practice what he taught them,” he says. “Experience is how adults learn, but so often we focus on information transmission. That doesn’t lead to discipleship. So my doctoral work refocused our elders and changed the scorecard for success at Christ Covenant.”

Chris says the Johnson Ph.D. program was transformative for him as a Christian and as a leader. “We tell students that at Johnson you don’t just get a Ph.D., you become a Ph.D. It’s both a theoretical and academically rigorous program and a very practical one that pushes you as a person and as a scholar.”

A sense of community among the online cohorts is key to the spiritual, personal, and academic transformation that students experience. Chris plans to build on this distinctive by increasing the

1 2 | ON MI SS ION

network of program alumni and pairing them with current students who share a research interest. In the courses he teaches, he posts videos each Monday with his thoughts and encouragement, and he loves watching the students continue their connections beyond the class requirements.

“The guided research coursework includes some Zoom calls, and the students decided to continue meeting and praying together over video even after the class,” he says. “Alicia did a great job embedding this core value of community into the program, and we will continue to make this academic journey a human experience.”

Chris also plans to find opportunities for greater involvement and exposure in the academic community, especially in the ministry and nonprofit sectors.

“I really want our program to be the exemplary program of online doctoral education in leadership,” he says.

T EN N ESSEE At Johnson University, we are committed to integrating studentathletes fully into the college environment to maximize the educational benefit of their time at Johnson. We operate under the central tenet that college is a place for intellectual discourse and that students should engage actively in the life of the University. With this idea at the forefront of athletics, we have developed a new program called The Student-Athlete Center of Excellence.

The Center of Excellence is a holistic resource center designed with the overall success of the student-athlete in mind. We aim to provide resources for academics, life skill development, health and wellness, community engagement, and spiritual growth.

When student-athletes arrive at Johnson University, they participate in a workshop series called Pride360, which focuses on the Royal culture and tradition as well as college readiness. Throughout a studentathletes’ time at Johnson, he will have regular one-on-one check-ins with the associate athletic director of student development, Jordan Schools, and will attend workshops on a variety of topics such as time management, proper nutrition, career development, and leadership.

“We believe athletics is more about human development than it is about winning games,” said athletic director Brandon Perry. “The Center of Excellence is about helping our student-athletes adapt to college life and connecting them with resources to enhance their college experience.

I believe this program is a huge step forward for Johnson Athletics.”

Johnson University is proud to have the only student-athlete success program in the NCCAA, and we believe it will be a great asset to our athletes. A student-athlete puts a great deal of time and dedication into both academics and athletics, and in doing so represents the University well. It is our goal to honor this commitment by providing support throughout their educational experience.

“The Center of Excellence is a great program that will reinforce our commitment to student-athletes,” said Jordan Schools. “Excellence is a mindset that is greater than grades or athletic achievement. We are committing to caring holistically for the student-athlete in the ways that are unique to their experience. I am

excited to be part of this program, and I am confident it will be a fantastic resource for Johnson athletes.”

The Center of Excellence also provides peace of mind to parents. During the recruiting process, one of the biggest concerns families have is how their child will be supported throughout their college experience. It has been wonderful to hear how the Center of Excellence has influenced several recruits’ decisions to attend Johnson University. We are excited about the opportunities the Center of Excellence will provide our student-athletes, and we look forward to seeing the ways it will continue to benefit recruitment.

1 8 | B I G S STE WA RDSHI P

By Philip Eubanks ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT FOR STEWARDSHIP AND PLANNED GIVING

I like to describe stewardship as the wise management of resources God has entrusted to our care. Resources can include time, talents, treasures, relationships, and even opportunities.

The key concepts of God’s ownership of all and our responsibility to manage these resources to accomplish his purposes can be summarized in an easy-to-remember phrase, like “Using God’s resources to achieve God’s purposes.”

Until recently, if you asked me, “Whose stewardship is it?” I would have answered, “It is my stewardship.

God’s the owner; I’m the steward.”

This limited view fails to recognize that our stewardship resides in a larger context. A little insight into Greek language and Greco-Roman culture from John Reumann’s book Stewardship & the Economy of God can deepen our understanding.

Manager of the House. The Greek word often translated into stewardship is oikonomia. It comes from two other Greek words: oikos, “house,” and nemein, “ to manage.”

The person who exercised stewardship (management of a household) was known as an oikonomous or steward or manager. Instructions for these stewards emphasized how a household could be operated economically.

Interestingly, oikonomia later evolved into our word economics.

Manager of the City. The concept of stewardship expanded to include the city, which in Greek is the polis.

The administrative work of civic leaders was described as stewardship (oikonomia), and these leaders were regarded as stewards (oikonomous).

Manager of the Universe. The Greeks even extended the concept of stewardship to the universe, or in Greek the kosmos. The Greeks believed that the gods (little “g”) exercised stewardship over the kosmos.

For Christians, it is not the gods stewarding the universe, but the one true and living God who exercises stewardship over all that is. God’s stewardship of the universe is highlighted by Paul in Ephesians, where oikonomian is translated administration1:

The universe, originally created perfect and corrupted through the fall, is being redeemed through Jesus and will be restored in its fullness at the end of time. This is God’s plan, his administration, his stewardship over all that is.2

“He [God] made known to

us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him [Christ] with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth.”

(Eph. 1:9-10, NASB, bold emphasis added)

Joining in God’s Stewardship. I now realize it is primarily God’s Stewardship (big “S”), and my stewardship (little “s”) only has significance as it folds into his. Our stewardship is really about joining with God in his much larger Stewardship of all that is. This realization leads to a new understanding that can elevate our motivation for giving beyond that of responsibility into more of a meaningful partnership.

management to include planning and administration.

This concept is later described as “God’s Economy” and developed

extensively by the Church fathers following the New Testament period. (See John Reumann’s Stewardship & the Economy of God, Wm. Eerdmans, 1992.)

A GOOD

Investment Many people believe establishing a permanent fund at Johnson University is a wise investment because it will produce an eternal reward (Matt. 6:19-21). In addition, Johnson has been blessed with wise management of financial resources.

Last year nearly $2.5 million in scholarship awards was provided through named scholarship funds.

The permanent funds listed on the right have been established at Johnson from October 1, 2018, to August 15, 2020.

Gifts to these funds are permanently invested with a percentage (typically 4% to 5%) awarded each year. Funds are established in the name of the donor or in honor or in memory of a loved one.

These were not the only recipients of David’s attention. He had the unique quality of empathizing with people in all circumstances. In later years, David and Cindy reached out to serve widows and others in quiet ways, known only by the recipients of their unselfish, loving care.

David had one simple life goal—to serve God. He did it for his wife Cindy (’70, ’99), his daughter Sarah (’06), sister Nancy (John) Montgomery, brother Jonathan (Mary) Reece (’72), and all those who wanted to learn.

He experienced great “Joy on the Journey.” To watch the livestream of the memorial service for Dr. Reece, visit JohnsonU.edu/DavidReece.
