Adjunct Faculty – Jeffrey Martin
Since August 2020, I have been serving as the Executive Director of Meno Life, a Residential Recovery Program. I also have recently graduated with a Master’s in Human Services / Addiction Counseling from Regent University.
I am passionate about creating the physical, emotional, and spiritual space needed for men and women to overcome any or all obstacles keeping them from maturing into the people they have been created by God to be – fruitful and free. I believe a powerful yet simple way to accomplish this is to establish residential communities where like-minded people are required to use tools and practice the life skills needed for a fruitful and free life. Becoming fluent in the use of authenticity, humility, confession, etc. as tools for growth and maturity is the goal in this type of space. Learning to pay attention to yourself through a biopsychosocial lens is the best way to move out of our particular pathologies and disorders and into the “more than enough” life we all so desperately desire. This excites me and this is what I am preparing myself for.
In addition, I am a certified life coach, a former pastor, and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design. I bring an unusual spectrum of knowledge and experiences, whether working with an individual, a team, or an organization. As a founder of both a graphic design company and a church, I’m intimately familiar with what it takes to get something started and am at ease helping others do the same, even when the pieces are still being discovered. I am a good communicator in a variety of formats, including public speaking, small-group facilitation, one-on-one communication, and visual communication (through sound graphic design and typography principles). I believe people can do far more together than they ever can alone. I believe every conversation has the potential to be transformational. I believe helping a person discover the answer to a problem is far more helpful than telling them the answer; a discovered answer lasts a lifetime, while a told answer is quickly forgotten.
I am passionate about communicating what seems complicated in powerfully simple ways.
