Ask yourself this question: What will hold my semester together? Sure you may start off with balance in mind, but will it last? Will your first things remain first? Will you keep your priorities in order? On Monday, I played a game with a group of freshmen. We stood in a circle so that we [...]

I’ve talked a lot about why following Daniel’s lead is the best approach to college. Here are 2 more reasons to live like Daniel: 1. When you keep your heart pure, you can discern God’s will for your life. 2. Because God calls us to holiness. Reason 1 Romans 12:2: “Do not be conformed [...]

Senior year of college I was sitting in a debate. The topic? The legalization of prostitution. I was sitting on the far side of the room, near the back row. The room wrapped around, so it gave me the perfect view for watching everyone and their reaction to the debate. As I panned the audience, [...]

In Bible studies, the book of Daniel is well known. As a student, what does his life tell us about college? About the collegiate environment? About our response to college? If Daniel were to talk with you about college, there’s no doubt that you would listen to his testimony. In fact, he’d be more than [...]
A Focused Heart? Look in the Mirror

Eventually, our physical hearts will give out. But not our spiritual hearts. Our spiritual heart is the part of us that lives forever. Isn’t it interesting, though, that the part of us that lives forever gets the least amount of attention? When’s the last time you looked in the mirror and thought about your inner [...]

When college students speak up, others listen. In the same way that Daniel caused his friends and a nation to look higher, you have the same opportunity. If you’ll live with integrity in the details of your life, you’ll find that God will begin to expand your influence. He’ll use you to encourage others to [...]
College – Your Role?

What happened when Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself? A king and a nation looked higher. You are in the same position as Daniel. College is a tremendous place of influence. The world always watches when college students take action. Here’s what Charles Malik, former President of the UN General Assembly, says [...]

It’s just about that time. Back-to-school time. New classes, new programs, new schools, new friends, new professors. How are you preparing to start a new year? I recently read a great article from the Boundless Webzine called “Surviving a Hostile Professor.” Dr. Gene Edward Veith addresses a very common concern for college students. Listen to [...]
Your Best Approach to College

Last semester Kyle Kleber, a senior broadcast journalism major, and I set off across campus to ask the question, “What’s the best way to prepare for college?” We got a lot of answers: “Know how to make time for studying and time for partying.” “Lots and lots of early preparation.” “I don’t know. I didn’t [...]
College: Reality or Script?

What image do you have in your mind when you see the word college? Where did you get it? Think specific. What movie? What friend? What event? Who taught you what to expect about college? If you’re starting college this fall, chances are good that, unconsciously or not, you’ve [...]
