Back to School-ish Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

Are you a college student? Or are you related or close to any college students? Or are you a college minister? If so, then this episode is especially for YOU! I had a deep conversation with Camryn Johnson from Mississippi College, Moses Gonzalez & Kaitlyn Laarman from Lone Star College in Texas. The college campus is one of the largest mission fields we have, so these students share how they are living out their faith and fulfilling the Great Commission on campus! We raise awareness about issues that college students face such as anxiety, weight-gain, and homesickness. We also conclude the episode with "tweetable" moments from each guest as they share wisdom on how students can go from Surviving to Thriving right now...even in the midst of COVID-19 and this global pandemic that we're all facing!

In Part 3: Seung Yeon Son "Sylvia" from South Korea, Adedeji Akindele-Alo "Deji" from Nigeria, and Anett Bernal from Mexico discuss cultural insensitivity and jokes that aren't really jokes as it relates to their cultures.
