Along the way, you'll gain insight and inspiration for integrating Christian perspective into global education.
Having the Mind of Christ: The Mission of Psychology
Dr. Kevin Conner is Department Chair and Professor of Psychology at Liberty University. He has led students on short-term study abroad trips to Europe, Central America, South America, and Africa. On today’s episode of the podcast, we talk about Dr. Conner’s passion for healthy marriages, families, and relationships which drives how he teaches students to see the study of psychology as an avenue to strive for the mind of Christ.
Study Abroad Reimagined: From “No” to “Go!”
Once seen as a bad decision for students in Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, study abroad was reimagined so that students could continue to grow in their faith even while away from their Christian community on their home campus.
Joining the podcast today is Adri Fonteijn, the National Director of Study Abroad at Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. We talk about how Intervarsity now offers a unique way for students to stay connected, be discipled, and see God move in their lives while they are studying abroad.
