Your host, Adrian Reynolds (Ph.D.), is an ordained minister, learning coach, and assistant professor of medical education at an R1 university. He is on a mission to merge educational innovation with biblical wisdom. Dr. Reynolds brings over two decades of teaching experience across the educational continuum: from working with underserved, high school students as a state-certified instructor of Spanish to coaching students in graduate and professional degree programs in evidence-based teaching skills and the science of learning.

Dr. Reynolds’ work is located within the rapidly growing field of applied learning sciences and is driven by both socio-cognitive and sociocultural approaches to learning and teaching. His preventive model of academic coaching has been published in journals such as Medical Teacher and Clinical Teacher. He has held over 1,000 (one-on-one) academic coaching sessions with medical students, residents, fellows, and pre-med students. Dr. Reynolds has developed numerous peer-teaching programs for medical students in addition to courses in the science of learning for residents, pre-med and high school students.

Dr. Reynolds has been preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ for over 10 years both nationally and internationally. He has long been recognized to seamlessly intertwine academic concepts with biblical principles: His approach to preaching and teaching the word of God is centered around growth mindset (Philippians 4:13), transformational learning (Romans 12:2), and reflective, mindful practice (Philippians 4:8, Joshua 1:8, Psalm 119:97).

As a missionary ambassador, Dr. Reynolds has embarked on transformative journeys that bridge cultures and continents, bringing tangible support and hope to those in need. Most recently, in the fall of 2023, his dedication to humanitarian causes led him to Mozambique: From the bustling streets of Maputo to the serene countryside of Inharrime, through the unwavering support and sponsorship from faith-based leaders and communities, Dr. Reynolds has played a pivotal role in the allocation of humanitarian aid and educational resources, providing essential support to elevate community wellbeing.

Earlier that year, he engaged in a mission focused on cultural exchange and relationship-building in the Maputo province to better understand and address local challenges. Through these missions, Dr. Reynolds exemplifies the true essence of a missionary ambassador, integrating service, education, and faith into impactful action.

    Sometimes we feel pressured to blend in when our heart is truly calling us to stand out. Yes, I know you've been there.

    In this episode, Dr. Reynolds shares a simple story about standing alone, which resulted in unexpected opportunities for growth. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, business, and history (along with insights from Cal Newport’s Deep Work), Dr. Reynolds explores how figures like Jesus, Rosa Parks, Einstein, Daniel, and Elijah reveal the power of standing apart from the crowd. You’ll discover why true solitude creates clarity, why balance matters, and how standing alone for God is never really being alone.

    This final segment of our three-part series demonstrates how to share your journey without boasting by following four key principles. Let faith and purpose converge through sharing your testimony.

    • Shifting from spotlight to story - focusing on the journey rather than accomplishments
    • Celebrating the community that supported your journey, acknowledging you didn't succeed alone
    • Grounding your success in purpose and recognizing how your path prepared you for service
    • Making a call to action by encouraging others to share their testimonies

    Don't hide your testimony because you're afraid of being misread or misunderstood. Share this episode with someone you know and share a testimony this week, not to boast, but to bear witness. Let someone know how God is transforming your life.

    Have you ever hesitated to share your success story because it felt like boasting? That reluctance might be keeping someone from the very encouragement they desperately need.

    In this second episode of our three-part series "A Testimony Not Given Might Be a Blessing Withheld," Dr. A. introduces four transformative principles that empower you to share your testimony with integrity and purpose. Moving beyond the discomfort of seeming self-promotional, these strategies reframe your experiences as bridges that help others journey from doubt to confidence, from "I can't" to "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

    The first principle invites you to shift focus from accolades to journey, sharing not just achievements but the complete story including obstacles overcome and emotions processed.

    Next, we explore celebrating community by acknowledging the network of supporters who made your journey possible.

    The third principle grounds testimony in purpose by examining what greater message God might be communicating through your experiences.

    Finally, we discuss transforming testimonies into calls to action that inspire others to reflect, serve, or take their next faithful step.

    These principles create a framework where sharing success becomes an act of service rather than self-promotion. Your story (complete with setbacks, comebacks, and breakthroughs) might be exactly what someone needs to move forward in their own journey.

    By withholding your testimony, you might inadvertently withhold a blessing meant for someone else.

    Join Dr. A. next week as he concludes this series with his own personal testimony.
