In this episode of Beyond the 12, I sit down with Brigid Enchill — a Professor of French at the University of Kansas and a doctoral student — to talk about what it means to live out your calling in education while staying rooted in faith. Brigid opens up about the tension and beauty of pursuing excellence in academia while keeping her spiritual walk front and center. Together, we explore how faith shapes the way we teach, lead, and encourage others in their own educational journeys. Brigid’s story reminds us that the classroom can be a place of ministry, and that God is present even in the pursuit of degrees, deadlines, and dissertations — guiding us through every unknown. And through a plot twist, we find that perhaps inviting some unknown might be a welcomed gift.
