Lincoln’s faith journey is rooted in the principle, “Lift Up Those Around Me,” is rooted in the belief that success is most powerful when shared. Inspired by Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NIV) “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.—he views collaboration and compassion as essential to both life and STEM. Whether leading a cybersecurity project in high school or mentoring peers, Lincoln emphasizes the importance of community and mutual support. His story encourages others to pursue excellence not just for personal gain, but to uplift those around them—reminding us that when one person succeeds, everyone has the opportunity to rise.
