Will Bowden, the Director of Baylor's BSM (Baptist Student Ministries), joins us to talk about prayer. Prayer is a foundational aspect of our faith and spiritual journeys. It’s how we communicate with God and tune our hearts to his will. Prayer is especially relevant to the spiritual life of college students, and Will is here to give his thoughts and advice.

Dr. Erin Moniz, Director for Chapel at Baylor University, joins us to talk about future calling. It’s common to hear students talk about their futures using language related to “calling”. Maybe you’ve heard someone say that they’re called to be a doctor, or called to be a lawyer, or called to go into ministry. Students use language like this because they are integrating their faith and connection to God with their future plans. But is this language always helpful? Do we need to modify the way we think about our future decisions?

Dr. Burt Burleson, University Chaplain and Dean of Spiritual Life at Baylor University, joins us to talk about what we like to call "Big Tent Christianity". Baylor is a place where people from all kinds of Christian denominations and traditions come together in a collegiate setting. Whether someone identifies as Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, non-denominational, or anything in between, there is a place for them under the tent of Christianity. During your time in college, you are going to come across different ideas and traditions, some of which are going to be very different than what you’re used to. How are we supposed to approach these situations?

Myles Olenski, Executive Director of Vertical Ministries, joins us to talk about making your faith your own. Whether you grew up in a Christian home or not, college is a time where you encounter new ideas, styles, and communities when it comes to your faith. What does it look like to take ownership of your faith when you’re away from your parents or home church for the first time?

Dr. Kevin Villegas, Dean of Intercultural Engagement and Division of Student Life Initiatives, joins us to talk about faith and politics. Throughout church history and into the current day, Christians have been attempting to engage in their communities in a faithful way. Is there a Christian way to do politics? How are we supposed to have civil discourse with our neighbors?
