Living the Uncommon Life

College-life is grand. All around you are opportunities to explore new things. That is how it should be. This is a season of self-discovery and newfound freedom. It is both simple and complicated, full of the exciting and the unexpected. It is (for once!) what our culture says it is...the time of your life. It is the time where you make decisions about life, career, and calling that affect the rest of your life. It is a time of unparalleled freedom and unbelievable pressure. It is a grand experiment and the choices you make and habits you form during these years will be hard to break.

So...live the uncommon life during these years. Go ahead and explore. Re-invent yourself. Believe in your dreams. Make daring decisions. Have fun. Pave your own way. Do everything you should do as a college student...but include God and lean on each other at every turn.

Living your faith is hard. It is especially hard as a university student. It was for me a decade ago and it is for you now. This blog is here to lighten that load. It is a space to read, reflect, and respond. If there is one thing I know about the life of faith it is that we need each other. It is impossible to live an integrated, faithful life without each other.

This blog is an experiment in community. An ongoing conversation where you can comment, question, and support each other. A regular post will appear each week to start the conversation. Visit often. Participate frequently. Question freely.
