4: Crazy faith to fix the impossible with Hope College President Matt Scogin

Made to Advance

Matt Scogin’s path to the presidency at Hope College was anything but conventional, having spent time in both Washington, D.C. and on Wall Street before arriving back on campus in Holland, Michigan in 2019. Possibly even more unconventional is how he’s leaning on the power of the Gospel to face higher education’s biggest challenges head on. In this episode, Matt shares his story and how he seeks to follow God’s plan for his life in all that he does.
