The fall semester is closing, and before life speeds into holiday mode, this is your moment to pause. All semester long, the mentors on our podcast have talked about identity, calling, courage, community, and what it looks like to follow Jesus in real life—not just theory.
So instead of another recap, here’s a guided debrief built around the four questions your mentors consistently pointed you toward.
1. What did I give my attention to?
Mentors reminded us that what you focus on shapes what you become. Look at your semester: Did your attention drift? Did you stay anchored? What needs adjusting before the spring?
2. Where did God invite me to grow?
Every mentor had a story about God using unexpected moments. Think: Where did you feel stretched, nudged, challenged, or encouraged? That’s not random—that’s formation.
3. Who influenced me (and who did I influence)?
A major theme this fall: your community determines your direction. As you head into break, consider who your people are—and who you want beside you in the next chapter.
4. What’s one next step I need to commit to?
College apps, scholarship deadlines, campus visits, spiritual habits, or simply finishing the semester strong—don’t overthink it. Just choose one and move toward it.
Winter break isn’t just a pause; it’s a reset.
Take these mentor-inspired questions into the next few weeks and let them shape how you close this year and step confidently into what’s ahead.
