Passing on the Faith: Lessons from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 By Phillip Camp Of all places in the Bible, I have found Deuteronomy especially helpful for considering how we nurture and pass on the faith to the next generation. Indeed, that is what this book is about. Moses is re-teaching for a new generation, the generation that will enter the Promised Land, what it means to be and live as the people of God. Part of what he calls them to do is to pass on that faith to subsequent generations, as we see in Deuteronomy 6:4-9... Read More »

20 Ways to Recruit Students By Steven Tramel Gaines We’re nearing that time of year again—when we set up tables on campus and tell students about the ministries in which we serve. It’s only six weeks away for many of us. When I was a rookie campus minister a few years ago, I was clueless about this important type of ministry opportunity. What should I do? What should I say? Oh, I’m supposed to have a sign-up sheet? And giveaways should be advertisements? Read More »

The Summer Stretch By Steven Tramel Gaines “We cannot be happy if we expect to live all the time at the highest peak of intensity. Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.” (Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island) The life of campus ministry is one of chaos and calm, and it seems to go in a yearly cycle.

Some of the more liberal private colleges also have joined the conversation. More recently, however, students at Christian universities have begun pursuing official approval of same-sex orientation and behavior. Read More »

We want to be Michael Jordan before we learn to dribble a basketball. We want to be hosting Billy Graham crusades but haven’t yet learned how to talk to people about Jesus. Read More »

Focus at the Finish By Steven Tramel Gaines In his blog post called "fans of finals,” Benson Hines encourages campus ministers, “Don’t be afraid to show yourself a true fan of academic rigor during this time.” Quality education requires focus.
