    • Why being Christian is not enough in today’s academic arena.
    • How CCU bucked the nationwide enrollment slump with a 128 % surge.
    • The growing ideological imbalance on college campuses—and how parents and students can discern education vs. indoctrination.
    • Practical wisdom for young believers navigating a confused world.
    If you care about faith, truth, and the future of higher ed, this conversation will refocus your perspective and ignite your purpose.
