The transition from high school to college brings new responsibilities, relationships, and opportunities to grow, both academically and spiritually. Dr. Brian Harrell, professor at Liberty University, joins Tommy to offer a professor’s perspective on what students can expect and how they can prepare for this next chapter. He shares practical advice on managing your time, communicating with professors, taking advantage of office hours, and learning to take responsibility for your education. Drawing on more than two decades of ministry experience in Africa, Dr. Harrell also discusses the importance of developing a personal relationship with Christ, thinking critically about what you’re taught, and finding Christian community while building relationships with people who believe differently. His encouragement to high school seniors is to begin developing intentional habits now so they can enter college prepared to grow in their faith, pursue meaningful relationships, and make the most of every opportunity.
Questions to Consider While Listening:
- What responsibilities do you currently rely on others to manage, and how can you begin taking greater ownership of your time and education before college?
- What habits can you start developing now to strengthen your personal relationship with God and keep Christ at the center of your life in college?
- How can you build Christian community while also forming meaningful relationships with people who have different beliefs and backgrounds?
