Traveling for Thanksgiving? Need something to listen to? Allow me to suggest some podcasts that may provide both topics to discuss around the table on Thursday and some tips on how to approach those conversations. I hope that all of you who are celebrating have the opportunity to spend the day with loved ones in a mutually supportive environment, but I appreciate not everyone may have such an opportunity. Perhaps somewhere in the conversations below you will find some encouragement for cultivating better dialogues in your context.

“Christian Faculty Mentoring Students” Resources
Christian Faculty Mentoring Students and Beyond Academics: Kelly Arispe and Spanish Linguistics are two of several excellent resources for Faculty Ministry. As you may guess, I’m really excited about the growing bank of resources focused on gathering students and faculty together. Yes, another subtle plug for what has been referred to as Dinner Table Conversations 🙂
Read, share, discuss, brainstorm on summer/fall gatherings for conversation/storytelling/mentoring. . . .
For additional material visit Faculty Ministry Resources and the Faculty tag at The Well. If you have similar stories to share from your campus, please visit Faculty Ministry Writers’ Guidelines and Write for Us (The Well).
PS. I’m on a road trip to As We Worship, So We Believe: How Christian Worship Forms Christian Faith. I can’t wait not only for the presentations, but for the Dinner Table Conversations (especially meeting on-line friends in person) at the 2014 Ancient Evangelical Future Conference (6/5-6, Trinity School for Ministry, Ambridge, PA). AND writing about them. To God be the glory!
