So you’re going to college…: A 16-week guide to starting college as a Christian

Congratulations! You made it to college…And the reality is that everything is about to change. You are about to find a new community, live in a new place, have a new schedule, eat new food, do your own laundry, wash your own sheets, and figure out this thing called faith.Statistics would say that roughly 70% of high school students who know and follow Jesus will fall away from their faith in college. 70%. That is a scary statistic. But I believe that it doesn’t have to stay scary because I believe that if you have the right conversations, take the right steps, and put up the right guardrails, that statistic can radically change.Welcome to the journey of your first semester of college. This 16-week guide is meant to be a step-by-step, week-by-week conversation to help you not only maintain your faith in college but begin to watch your faith thrive.This book is a collection of advice and wisdom from many different college students, current and former, from many different college contexts on how to know Jesus, follow Jesus, and lead others to do the same in college.College should be an adventure that propels your faith, not a train wreck that will ruin it. You just don’t need to walk in blind.Come with me on this 16-week journey and watch the adventure God is calling you to begin to unfold! Read more
