Consider the Ravens (Scholar’s Compass)

November 26, 2017 by Elsie Lee No Comments

If I were to sum up my last five years in one word, it would be “change”. I have lived in four different houses, worked three different jobs, lived on two continents, gotten married, gone to grad school, and had a child.

Leaving Academia, Part 1

July 1, 2017 by Joshua Wu 3 Comments

For the better part of a decade, my life ambition was to become a professor. I was confident that hard work and a few providential breaks would land me a tenure-track political science professor position. I believed that God had called me to a life in the academy, to be a witness pointing peers and students to Christ.

Encountering God in the Liminality of Graduate School, Part 2

June 23, 2017 by Scott Santibanez No Comments

It was 1991, during the summer between my first and second years of medical school. I was in the basement of a Christian clinic in Times Square. The clinic provided free medical care for homeless people in New York City. I was filling up a tub with warm soapy water so one of our homeless clients could soak his feet.
