In this solo episode, Tommy explains why preparing for life after high school matters so deeply—because most students enter their first major life transition without the support systems that shaped them. Using the parable of the prodigal son and his own college story, Tommy highlights the common struggle students face when they lose their familiar influences of family, friends, church, and mentors. He challenges listeners to enter college with four clear goals—lasting memories, deep friendships, clear vision, and a fruitful faith—and to carefully choose which one will become their foundation.
Questions to Consider While Listening:
Which of the four goals—lasting memories, deep friendships, clear vision, or fruitful faith—am I currently treating as my foundation?
When the familiar influences of high school fade, what intentional steps will I take to rebuild healthy support and direction in my next season?
What does it look like for me to develop a “fruitful faith” in college or post-graduation life—one that actually shapes my choices, relationships, and long-term direction?
