Meet Dr. Timothy Glenn

Since the age of 11, Timothy has asked the question, ‘why’. Whether it was why he had to perform a task a certain way or why people believed what they believed, he desired to understand the mechanism behind the belief. This deep curiosity led him on a path to discover what life, love, and happiness was truly about. Like the majority of individuals, his path of discovery began in the religious arena. This is where he was instructed that all the answers to his questions about life could be found. At the age of 15, he became a youth minister and placed himself in the position to receive mentorship from his church elders. He studied hard and was known for his undying inquisitiveness. Although he had achieved respect among his peers, his penetrating questions about life had yet to be answered. Therefore he decided to attend the American Baptist College, Moody Bible Institute, and later Jacksonville Theological Seminary, in which he received his degrees in Theology and Education and obtained his PhD in Christian Psychology.
Although he had three degrees, Timothy still felt that there had to be something more. He began to notice that although people had their respective religions they still lacked one important aspect, joy. He knew this because he himself lacked joy. He then decided that he needed to search outside the walls of religion. Thus, his journey of spiritual enlightenment began.
During his quest he discovered that the lack of joy and the void in people’s lives stemmed from the judgmental thoughts people had toward themselves and toward others. In other words, people were deficient of love. [Love of self and love of others.] This very love is the reason he founded the Leadership Institute for Transformation and Empowerment (L.I.T.E.) along with his wife Jiquay Glenn. L.I.T.E. is a community, based organization that focuses on equipping individuals with information that is relevant to their current situation. Timothy and Jiquay work together to teach principles of meditation, self reflection and observation, and love of self and others which consequently allows each person to create the life that they truly desire.
Timothy is an upcoming visionary strategist for the West Tennessee area and is currently working on his much anticipated book.
