In this conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Bishop Kelvin Cobaris to talk about what it means to lead with courage and hope in a time when our culture feels increasingly divided, angry, and uncertain. Bishop Cobaris reflects on why choosing to be a light in dark times often comes with a cost and how courageous leadership has a way of inspiring and strengthening others to stand as well. Together, we explore the power of forgiveness, the importance of pursuing unity in the midst of division, and how spiritual transformation begins when God changes us from the inside out. Bishop Cobaris also shares his heart for the next generation and the kind of leaders our world desperately needs - leaders marked by humility, curiosity, courage, and compassion. This conversation is a powerful reminder that even in difficult times, hope, reconciliation, and a brighter future are still possible.
