336: Christmas Special | Higher Ed AV Podcast

This year’s Christmas episode is a return to the roots: a reflective, personal conversation recorded during Christmas week. Joe Way anchors the episode in Isaiah 9:6—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace—and connects those four names to a transformational year of health, leadership growth, humility, and a renewed commitment to peace. Along the way, he ties these themes back to AV leadership: finding strength beyond yourself, leading through vulnerability, creating a safe environment for your team, and becoming the calming presence that restores unity when pressure rises.
