In this episode of The Michael C. Sherrard Podcast, we examine the pressing question: Is college a scam? With the rising concerns about higher education becoming a breeding ground for indoctrination rather than a pursuit of truth, especially for young believers, this topic is more relevant than ever. Christian colleges are often seen as the last stronghold for students seeking to navigate their faith in a culture that's increasingly hostile to their beliefs. But what is the real role of these institutions?
To help unpack these questions, I'm joined by a friend and respected scholar, Dr. Joseph R. Miller. Dr. Miller serves as the Assistant Professor of Christian Worldview and the Worldview Lead at Grand Canyon University. He co-founded the Center for Cultural Apologetics and is a Fellow with Reasons to Believe. With his extensive background as an author, blogger, and podcaster, Dr. Miller is dedicated to equipping Christians to think critically and live faithfully in today's complex world.
Together, we explore whether college is indeed a scam, discuss the true purpose of higher education, and delve into how AI is influencing both the academic world and the broader culture. Dr. Miller also shares his insights on the alarming decline of a Biblical worldview among Gen Z, with only 4% adhering to it, and what essential components of the Christian worldview are under the most attack today.
We also tackle the reasons behind this decline and discuss potential solutions, including how Dr. Miller's work at Grand Canyon University is contributing to the restoration of a Biblical worldview. Finally, we offer practical advice for individuals, parents, and churches on how to protect themselves and their families from these cultural challenges. Join us for an eye-opening conversation that will equip you to navigate the ever-changing landscape of higher education and cultural influence.
