...and part of the long haul faith involves selflessness and trusting!

What does it mean to have a faith that extends throughout and beyond university, well part of it requires us to be accountable and joyful...

(Part 1 of 2)

We often have false beliefs about who we are, and in this episode we discuss, where we can put our identity when struggling with these beliefs.

We discuss how the diversity of the church allows us to engage with different people at university!

Welcome back to the podcast! In this (late) welcoming episode, Matthew introduces himself and the podcast, explaining his motivation behind it. He tells of his vision for universities, and how it comes out of his background story, where he was influenced by the message of Jesus Christ, to live a life the Christian life. And, he describes the word he had for this year at university, and how God is working in amazing ways on campuses!

Does God really want a person like me in his kingdom? How can I share my story with others? Isn't university for people to sway away from God, and enjoy themselves? In this, the pilot episode of the podcast, we discuss these thoughts, through Toms testimony, his poetry, and more. The 'Talking God at University' podcast, was imagined first when Matthew found himself discussing Christian lives at university with several friends, on an online call late at night. God spoke to him that evening, reminding him of the great work the Holy Spirit is doing at university, and how we are disciples for a mighty faith. He knew at once that he was called to start a podcast, to speak to the students of universities and colleges, to tell the greatness of God, by having discussions just like the late night calls.

We particularly focus in this first episode on Toms story, and how his coming to faith, has led to the growth of his gift, through his lyrics. University is a time of freedom for many students, and the decision to follow Jesus is the most rewarding freedom you can find. 2020 has been confusing, tough and hopeless for many students, the question for this upcoming new year is, will you pick up the cross and follow in Jesus' mission?
