Do you struggle to remember things?
I know I do. And remembering — especially things like names — seems to be an increasingly challenging task for me.
They go in one ear — and out the other. And with another school year right around the corner, I need help!
According to this infographic, the key is in the reviewing…
At the heart of Christian theology lies the idea that God is one. And if God is one (Deuteronomy 6:4), then the implications are astounding, with, perhaps, the largest being (to borrow a phrase from Richard Rohr) that “everything belongs”.
Many of us live with a bifurcated (or muti-furcated…just made up a word) world. College students are bombarded with this constantly. Whether it be sacred vs. secular, personal vs. public, on-line vs real-life, dualism abounds.
It was another BIG month at FaithONCampus.com!
In case you missed it, I made a couple of BIG announcements this past month:
2 Books, the Month of July, & My Attempts at Keeping Things Sane
Announcing the Faith ON Campus Summer Institute
The writing will have a significant impact on my month of July — so you can expect some of the “best of” from the Archives, as well as some guest posts that will totally be worth checking out!
The Summer Institute will not take place until NEXT June — but is something you need to find out about NOW, so be sure to check out that link!
And in case you missed any of these — here are the Top 10 posts for the month of June!
Earlier this summer I had the chance to sit with Dr. Tim Clydesdale, author of The First Year Out: Understanding American Teens After High School.
His current project (which I think will be released sometime this summer or fall) is on college students collectively.
The research he conducted with high school grads (many of whom went to college), that was presented in his first book, was carried on and was the focus of our conversation.
I recently conducted a short interview with Creighton Alexander — Director of the Wesley Foundation at the University of Alabama, Co-Editor of CollegeUnion.org, and Director of the Refresh Conference about the upcoming Campus Ministry Boot Camps that he’s offering. Here’s what he had to say…
For the past several years our ministries have been challenged to consider how to better reach — and connect with — an increasingly digital world.
From websites to blogs, to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN and Pinterest accounts, online registration and release forms, images and videos — even live streaming.
In many ways it’s felt necessary to obtain additional degrees in web management and social media strategy to co-inside with the ministry degrees many of us hold.
And things continue to grow and change in this area.
Faith ON Campus is excited to announce the next Blogathon:
Back to School | August 7-9, 2012!
I know it probably feels like the summer just started — but the reality is that the new school year is just around the corner — so with that in mind, it’s time to make plans and preparations for this upcoming opportunity to come together for some collective thinking and sharing about how to make the most of this critical time of the year!
That’s what the Back to School Blogathon is all about!
I ran across this collection of statistics and wanted to make sure I shared with you — in case you hadn’t run across it in your own online reading.
There’s a lot here.
And the good folks at Gallup did a great job of covering a broad range of “moral” topics.
What we don’t know about those who were polled for this data is what religious affiliation (if any) the respondents claim. Likely, it’s a pretty accurate cross-section of the American population, and therefore, it would be safe to say that these are the dominant “beliefs” of American culture.
Some great insight into the benefits of internships!
Stepping out, taking the risk to dive into this crazy world as an adult, as Miss Independent (cue Kelly Clarkson), can be totally scary.
We like to think we are self-sufficient and not at all apprehensive about living out on our own, out from under the wings of the grown-ups in our lives.
I remember when I moved into my first apartment post-college. It was a seven-hundred-square-foot space that was mine to decorate, leave messy, and clean up only if I felt like it.
Exciting . . . until it came time to pay rent for the first time. Yikes.
