Purpose, Proximity, and Praising the Good – A Conversation with Dr. D. Stokes

She's coached Division I basketball, preached from the pulpit, built businesses, and mentored the next generation — and this week, she's back on People, Politics and Pork. In this encore episode, Greg Webb and Newell Clark revisit one of the most talked-about conversations of the year with the one and only Dr. D. Stokes. A powerhouse in leadership, ministry, and entrepreneurship, Dr. Stokes shares wisdom on what it really means to meet people where they are — whether you're running a team, a church, or your own business. Together, they talk: The shift in accountability and priorities in today's young leaders Why mentorship has to be rooted in authenticity How systems and environments shape behavior The truth about entrepreneurship — and where to find real support And a quote you won't forget: "We've taught people how to love the church, but we haven't taught people how to love Jesus."
