How College Challenges Students' Faith: What Parents Must Know, with Jonathan Morrow

Description

My guest today, Dr. Jonathan Morrow, says college usually doesn’t create a faith crisis; it reveals one that was already happening beneath the surface. But when students set foot on campus, the worldview pressures are everywhere, and most students simply aren't prepared for what they're about to encounter at every level of campus life.

Jonathan is the Director of Cultural Engagement and Student Discipleship at Impact 360 Institute and the author of Welcome to College. In this episode, we discuss: 

Why students often drift from faith before college
How screens and social media quietly disciple young people
The “death by a thousand nudges” effect on worldview
Warning signs parents should watch for
The hidden worldview assumptions in general education classes
Which majors tend to create the biggest worldview challenges
Why Christian colleges present their own challenges
What parents should prioritize when choosing a college
How to help students build a faith they truly own

Whether your child is heading to college this fall or is still years away, this conversation will help you think more carefully about preparing the next generation for what they'll encounter on the college campus.
