Discipline
Josh Hash, ’22, one of Cumberlands’ friendliest faces, says his biggest takeaway from the Christian Leadership Scholarship program is discipline. Josh is a member of the Campus Missionaries Team and says the accountability within that team has grown his faith and helped train his mind to love others purposefully.
Josh says his faith has seen the most growth when he has someone pouring into him spiritually and someone he is pouring into.
"When you're in a room full of people and someone is directly asking you who you are pouring into, it helps to keep you accountable and on track," he said.
The program teaches the Paul/Timothy approach to mentorship. In the Bible, Paul was an experienced evangelist and church planter who took a young Christian named Timothy under his wing and taught him Scripture and coached him in his church leadership role. After graduation, Josh says he will continue using this approach.
The program has also trained Josh’s mind to stay alert for “outsiders” in social situations. He struggled with loneliness in the past and wants to help others who battle withthat. The discipline he’s learned in the past four years has opened his eyes peeled to people standing on the outer edges of social circlesand find ways to include them. In every situation, Josh’s goal is to “leave the impression of Christ,” and it is evident he will continue to do just that.
