Serving Christ as a Professor

Ten Things You Need to Know

Have you ever wondered if becoming a professor might be part of God's plan for your life? Are you a student who desires to serve God with your entire life, including your mind? This presentation (320 KB), originally given at Urbana 06, addresses the theological, spiritual, and, yes, practical issues of serving Christ as a professor. It was prepared by Stan Wallace, Director of Faculty Ministry; Micheal Hickerson, Associate Director for the Emerging Scholars Network; and Alan Young, Professor of Sociology, Southern Nazarene University.

We also encourage you to check out our Core Bibliography, available to ESN members, for more reading material on this topic.
