There are three words that I want you to remember as you graduate: worth, work, and the world.

Throughout the past 25 years, God has placed me in four distinct churches that have differed in denomination, race, socioeconomic makeup, and language. In these different communities, God has grown my understanding of him and his mission and equipped me to better serve him among diverse people.

A man entrusted money to three servants. He assigned five bags of gold to the first, two to the second, and one to the last. 

How do you decide which church to get involved in? Here are a few dos and don’ts for your search.

I left college in the summer of 2012 with a sense that God wanted something great for my life. I just didn’t know what that looked like.

Here are four effective ways to make friends at work.

I’ve enjoyed life in college. A lot. I don’t think I’m alone in that. So when I got to the Blue Ridge Region’s chapter camp recently and entered a track called “Life After College,” I knew God was about to make me pretty uncomfortable.

In one year, I married off seven friends, left the neighborhood I’d inhabited since my first year of college, moved into a new house with two people who were never home, and lost my mentor when his wife took a job 500 miles away.

How do I get a job? That’s what you want to know, right? And not just any job, but a “real” job! (If you’re like me, you never want to work retail another day of your life.)

Increasingly, a bachelor’s degree is only one stage in the college journey, not the final destination. Millions of students will continue their education in graduate school, some seeking a professional degree (e.g., law, education, medicine, business) and others beginning a Ph.D. program.
