In this episode of Meet The Prof, Jon Walker, Professor of History at Forsyth Tech Community College, shares real-life stories of starting and leading a Christian student group on a community college campus. Jon talks about the power of offering prayer to students, building a sense of belonging, and creating space for Christ-centered conversations through Bible studies and outreach events like Spring Fling.
He also gives practical advice for Christian professors considering how to influence their campuses, encourages students who are wrestling with doubts about God, and shares his vision for new campus worship events like Ash Wednesday and Advent services.
If you're a Christian professor, college student, or parent looking to encourage faith on the college campus, you’ll find a lot of encouragement in Jon’s story.
