"I need to do something special for my seniors."   

In this episode, Andy chats with Associate Professor of Chemistry at Rollins College, Dr. Ellane Park, PhD. Ellane tells a powerful story of how the campus community came together to host a mini-graduation for seniors after the news of in-person classes being cancelled and being moved to online learning for the rest of semester. She shares about the grief and loss students, especially seniors, are feeling and why symbolism is so important in understanding the significance of life's events, whether it is the bread and wine for Holy Communion, or in the case of the graduation ceremony, the robe, cap, and gown. She also gives an encouragement to seniors who may be feeling uncertain about the future. Whether you're a student, faculty, or just someone who loves the college campus, we hope Dr. Park's story can inspire you to also support the graduating seniors in your life. And through it all to listen to the still, small voice that might be nudging you to creative love others in this tumultuous season.

Leah Stewart's first choice was to be on campus with her students at Sacramento State and Cosumnes River College. During the disruption, Leah has grappled with the bundle of emotions that come when we don't get our first choice. Together with her leaders, Leah came up with innovative ideas to stay connected that may radically reshape the way we minister. Listen to her story.

During the interview, Leah mentions the book Longing for Revival by James Choung and Ryan Pfeiffer (click here to purchase). In this book, Choung and Pfeiffer show how the journey toward revival often includes discontent and crisis before we experience breakthrough.

Host Steve Tamayo asks soon-to-be father and InterVarsity staff Andy Kim how he's dealing with the disruption of COVID-19. Andy shares how a panicked grocery store run revealed his benefits and privileges, how he and his wife are thinking through safety and security in new ways, and how God still calls us to spiritual formation during times of frenzy.
