Making God a Priority In Grad School: How to Avoid the Spiritual Comb Over

November 18, 2018 by Scott Santibanez No Comments

Two decades ago, I moved to a new city that I’d never visited before to start a post-doc fellowship. The work was interesting and the hours fairly regular, at least at first. When I arrived in the city, I wanted to make my walk with God a priority.

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.
