In a life of ministry, teachers, pastors, and facilitators make choices every day on what type of behavior is permissible and what is not. What should guide our efforts? How do you implement the grace of God, while not losing control of the program you’re a part of? What does discipline teach to a student or individual within your group?

Welcome Week 2024 was a special and noteworthy occurrence as it introduced us to and allowed us to become familiar with those who have chosen to attend The Institute for GOD and pursue a Biblical education! Welcome weeks are important to returning students as they allow us to come alongside and get to know those who are new, as well as show our support. These weeks are packed with fun activities, challenges, special times of fellowship, worship, prayer, and so much more! Welcome Week is important to both the foundation of friendships, and the introduction to college life at The Institute.

Jeff Sherrod and Laurie Kagay host Dave Meaders, Executive Vice President for The Association for Biblical Higher Education, discusses the role of Christian higher ed in shaping future leaders through discipleship. A timely podcast as much of the news has covered the failure of higher ed, specifically, many Christian colleges shutting down. Amid that, Medders stresses the need for flexibility, spiritual leadership, and listening to God's voice in shaping the future of education.
