As a campus minister, I see the affects of the gospel in the lives of young people. Adversely, I see the affects of the lack of the gospel in the live of many, many young people, including Christians. My aim with this blog is to 1.) prepare high school juniors and seniors to be faithful Christians in college 2.) help college students remain faithful and grow stronger while in college 3.) assist Christian parents with strengthening the faith of their loved ones 4.) give younger students (jr. high and high school freshmen & sophomores) some ideas and encouragement about building a faith that will last a lifetime. I became a campus minister because of the challenge and opportunity of teaching a vital age group (18-25 ….and sometimes beyond…) the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. I hope this blog will help students and parents prepare spiritually (first and foremost) and scholastically for college. The energy of college students and college-aged young people is tremendous and needs to be a place where the church grows and thrives, but right now, most young people are growing further and further from Christ. I plan to use these pages to talk about worldliness, atheism, evolution, denominationalism, the emerging church, and other philosophies that seek to destroy faith. Along the way, I also hope to discuss bible study methods, FASFA, SAT and ACT, high school classes, choosing a college, and choosing a church. I do not claim to be an expert, but I hope this blog will give us a forum for an open exchange of information to help Christians in this critical time in the lives of family members.
