Podcast Episode 130 – Student Testimony: Turner (University of Tennessee)

Starting college means starting over in a lot of ways — new people, new routines, and new decisions about who you want to become. In this episode, Turner shares what his first year at college has really been like, from staying rooted in faith to intentionally building community early. He talks honestly about choosing relationships that don’t just make college feel less lonely, but actually make you better. You’ll hear why knowing your values before you arrive matters, how finding church and Christian community early shaped his experience, and why saying yes to leadership — even when it’s uncomfortable — can change everything.


Questions to Consider While Listening:

  1. Do I know what values I want to carry with me into college — before I arrive?

  2. Am I more focused on avoiding loneliness, or becoming the kind of person I want to be?

  3. Where could God be asking me to step into community or leadership, even if it feels uncomfortable?
