Dr. Burt Burleson, University Chaplain and Dean of Spiritual Life at Baylor University, joins us to talk about what we like to call "Big Tent Christianity". Baylor is a place where people from all kinds of Christian denominations and traditions come together in a collegiate setting. Whether someone identifies as Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, non-denominational, or anything in between, there is a place for them under the tent of Christianity. During your time in college, you are going to come across different ideas and traditions, some of which are going to be very different than what you’re used to. How are we supposed to approach these situations?

Myles Olenski, Executive Director of Vertical Ministries, joins us to talk about making your faith your own. Whether you grew up in a Christian home or not, college is a time where you encounter new ideas, styles, and communities when it comes to your faith. What does it look like to take ownership of your faith when you’re away from your parents or home church for the first time?

Dr. Kevin Villegas, Dean of Intercultural Engagement and Division of Student Life Initiatives, joins us to talk about faith and politics. Throughout church history and into the current day, Christians have been attempting to engage in their communities in a faithful way. Is there a Christian way to do politics? How are we supposed to have civil discourse with our neighbors?
