If you’ve got a child nearing college or already there, this episode is for you.
We’re going to take a critical look at evangelical colleges and universities and analyze the experience they provide our kids. Having attended the evangelical college Wheaton, I have firsthand experience to bring to the table that we’ll discuss throughout today’s show.
Joining me is the host of the Chapel Probation podcast, Scott Okamoto. He grew up in a conservative Christian family but began deconstructing when he went away to college. Eventually, he became a professor at an evangelical university and started to clarify his progressive Christian beliefs. This led to him stepping away and becoming a stay-at-home dad.
Tune in to hear my conversation with Scott on the evangelical college experience from each of our unique perspectives.
Show Highlights:
- Scott’s background with evangelicalism.
- Why he stepped down from his job at APU and became a stay-at-home dad.
- What inspired him to start his podcast.
- Where I was at in my faith while attending Wheaton.
- The paradox of the evangelical college experience.
- The challenges deconstruction brings to parenting.
- Why we must love our kids well and then trust them to make the right decisions.
- Advice for parents thinking about sending their kids to an evangelical college.
- Advice for students attending an evangelical college right now.
