In this first podcast of our second year, Jordan takes time to learn more about our sponsor Global Scholars. She gets the backstory of how the mission of this podcast and that of Global Scholars complement one another by interviewing Stan, who serves as President and CEO. Along the way are many great stories of how God is at work today in higher education globally.

In this podcast we discuss:

How professors influence their students to either seek Christ or reject Christ

How professors influence culture through what they teach their students

The estimated percentage of professors worldwide who are Christians

How a Christian professor helped Stan continue in the faith without even know it!

Examples of Christian professors integrating biblical truth into their teaching and writing

How J.P. has mentored Stan for almost 40 years now, and a similar relationship Jordan has

Why listeners may also be interested in Stan’s College Faith Podcast

Why Stan has hope for the university and future generations of students

Some ways God is using professors in the lives Ukrainian and Russian students

Other ways God is using Christian professors to share Christ and disciple students
