In this episode, Tommy and Eli dig into what it really means to stand firm in your faith once you step onto a college campus. Eli breaks down the cultural and intellectual pressures students face—whether at a Christian university or a public school—and why genuine, personal conviction matters more than inherited beliefs. From developing deep habits of Bible engagement (“scuba diving” instead of “snorkeling”) to responding with humility, love, and truth when challenged, this conversation equips seniors to prepare their hearts, minds, and convictions before college.
Questions to Consider While Listening:
- Do I know why I believe what I believe—or have I mostly inherited my faith from others?
Am I practicing habits now (Bible study, prayer, community) that will sustain me when college pressure hits?
How can I respond with both truth and love when someone challenges my beliefs or pushes me toward something that doesn’t align with my convictions?
