Letter to a New Graduate Student’s Family, Part 2

October 20, 2015 by Chandra Crane No Comments

The nature of grad school is a weird nexus of too much information (Here are 800,000 pages. Please read them by last week) and not enough information at all (Please figure out all the Things. Please create your own efficient life schedule. Please have a Fortune 500 CEO level of organization, motivation, and enthusiasm. Here is your $5 graduate school stipend).

Faithful Is Successful: Learn to Discern (Scholar’s Compass)

April 14, 2015 by Chelsea Foster No Comments

I left a highly secure job as a high school teacher in a beautiful suburban setting, teaching subjects that I loved most to share. Life was ideal and my income was strong. Yet, God had other plans. Within five years, my husband and I had four children and in the sixth year my mother had a paralyzing stroke the month before my husband was to start graduate school.

Faithful Is Successful: Interview with Matthew Cabeen

March 20, 2015 by Hannah Eagleson No Comments

A congressperson once asked a scientist, “Why should we keep funding so many research projects when such a small percentage actually make important contributions to human society?” The scientist replied, “You are right that very few projects have profound results. But the problem is that we don’t know beforehand which few projects will be the important ones! So we have to do them all.” I see an important parallel to family life here.
