The Evolution of Higher Education & Faith
But today the very mention of having faith in God is something that is often considered equivalent to being a neanderthal.
A Christian Perspective on Higher Education
Many of the nation’s most prestigious institutions actually began as theological establishments. However, today we see a much different picture.
So how can we as parents set our children up for not only academic success, but spiritual growth as they enter the college-bound years? Is there a way to prepare them to enter an environment that may not be receptive, and may even be hostile to their faith?
Should we prepare our kids to stand their ground amidst a hostile environment that challenges their faith to its core? Do we even consent to send our kids to such an environment? How do we guide our children to making a decision that will strengthen rather than hinder their faith?
