#68: How The Emerging Scholars Network Serves Students

Listen Later

In this episode, I’m continuing my sporadic series on various campus ministries. I’m joined by Jaime Noyd, the Director of the Emerging Scholars Network (ESN). We discuss what ESN is and how it will be of great help to you if you are considering following God’s call to one day serve Christ as a professor.

In this podcast we discuss:

  • How Jamie came to direct ESN
  • Why ESN exists–the vision of the ministry
  • How scholarship can be a sacred calling
  • If students may join ESN if they are not involved in InterVarsity
  • How students can join ESN before they start college
  • Some examples of students greatly helped by ESN
  • Where ESN is going in the next 20 years
  • Questions to regularly ask yourself (or others) in following God’s calling to the professorate
  • The next step to joining ESN
