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 [...]

Life Without Limits

Last week, one of the most watched videos on youtube was a Hyundai commercial for the World Cup featuring Nick Vujicic. Ever heard of him? We read about Nick some time ago and were inspired by his incredible attitude and the obstacles he’s overcome to share the hope of Jesus Christ around the world. [...]
The Christian Atheist

With summer pretty much in full-swing, you’re probably either enjoying some free time by the pool or trying to catch up or get ahead in the classroom. Regardless, summer is a great time to do some ”unassigned” reading and spend some time thinking and reflecting. I’ve just started reading a new book by Craig Groeschel, [...]
2 Reasons

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 [...]
A Higher Effect

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 [...]
Just One Thing

Do you remember Job? He lost his health. His family. His finances. His farm. He lost everything. On top of that, his wife told him to curse God so he could die, and his friends were jerks. But, what was Job’s response to all of this? A higher perspective. In the midst of extreme pain [...]
Call Others Higher
Posted: 10th December 2009 by Trevor in A Higher Campus, College Leadership, College LivingTags: encourage, higher, pray, servant leader
Today, I want to encourage you to call someone higher. If we are willing to live for God, shouldn’t we also be willing to speak for Him? We’re often willing to work for God but reluctant to speak for Him. Should we not also be willing to use our voices? As servant-leaders, we should do [...]

Mark Earley, president of Prison Fellowship, recently addressed a pertinent topic to college students: Can we be happy without sex? He holds up Professor Dale Kuehne, professor of politics at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, and Kuehne’s new book called Sex and the iWorld as evidence. Kuehne regularly teaches a class called “The Politics [...]

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 [...]
Sharpen Your Skills

The first few weeks of a new semester are always overwhelming. Getting oriented to a new schedule, new classes, new people. Trying to figure out the teaching style and grading tendencies of new teachers. The first-day-of-class summary of every assignment, paper, project, and test you’ll be expected to do over the entire semester. It’s exciting, [...]
