Dear Friend, During my time at Belmont, being part of a Bible study—and eventually leading one—transformed the trajectory of my faith journey in college. While I’ve learned so much about Scripture, it’s not the specific studies that stand out the most. What I’ll carry with me is how the Lord Read more…
Dear Friend, Over the years, I’ve experienced it all: living with four roommates, having no roommates, living with those actively pursuing their faith, and those on a different path.

Dear Friend, I have just two days of college left—literally two (and then finals but that is neither here nor there)! In less than two weeks, I’ll be graduating and stepping into a brand-new chapter of life. As exciting as that sounds, I find myself caught in a tension: part Read more…

Dear Friend, As I prepare for finals and the bittersweet milestone of graduation, I find myself reflecting on some of the most meaningful experiences that have shaped my journey. Though I’m not traveling right now, my mind often drifts to the adventures I had and so I wanted to share Read more…
