In this episode of the podcast, we are joined by three doctoral candidates from Yale University: Alexander Batson, Matthew Denney, and (returning guest) Justin R. Hawkins. Together, we discuss a variety of things related to university education, such as how (Christian) students today may go about discerning their college futures both practically and spiritually; the distinction between secular and Christian universities (please see note below); the importance of community/accountability throughout; education not merely for economic ends but also for the end of growing in one's own humanity; the significance of the liberal arts; and the theological significance of grace within a meritocratic context.

Note: Nearly halfway through, Justin introduces into the conversation Bible colleges, which needs to be distinguished from Christian colleges. Christian colleges are liberal arts schools that typically provide a wide variety of learning (i.e. STEM and the humanities) through a Christian framework, whereas Bible colleges are specifically geared towards theological and ministerial training.
