Announcing the 4th Annual Back-to-School Blogathon!

Faith ON Campus is excited to announce the next Blogathon:

Back to School | August 6-8, 2013!

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!

A Few Things I Want You to Know Before the Release of Shaping Their Future on March 11th

Friends! I find it hard to believe my first book Shaping Their Future: Mentoring Students Through Their Formative College Years will release one month from today — on March 11th!!

It just doesn’t seem real to me. But my publisher assures me this is really happening.

In preparation for its release, I’ve made a few changes to the blog that I’d like to tell you about.

Top Posts of January 2013

We’ve officially survived January! I’m not sure what it was like where you live — but I’m thankful to not live in the location of the photo above.

With the flip of the calendar page we’ve started the spring term, as well as the second half of the ministry season. In some instance we carry forward our ministry efforts that began back in the fall term — and in other instances we are given the chance to start afresh.

And before you know, we’ll be on our way to spring break!

Below is a list of the Top 10 most viewed posts from the month of January* — hope you enjoy!

WINNERS of the Book Cover Contest!

A BIG THANKS to all of you who took the time to cast your vote for which cover we should use on my new book!

We had well over 100 respondents — and some great feedback on both covers — that our publishing team will be working through.

I can imagine that which ever cover wins, it will be improved upon based on the comments you shared — so THANK YOU!

Now, the winners of the book cover contest are:

Top Posts of December 2012

December is always a little quieter month here at FaithONCampus.com by comparison to the rest — and this year was no exception.

With the conclusion of the fall semester, preparations for the Christmas holiday, and a paternity leave on top of all that — I posted far fewer posts last month then I have in the two and a half years I’ve been blogging.

But you still showed up! Scanning the Archives, combing back through recent articles that you may have missed, and even enjoying the few new ones I posted — you hopefully found the resources you were looking for as you closed out a fall of ministry, and began to think towards the year ahead.
