Today I had the privilege of talking with Stephanie O’Brian, and Licensed Professional Counselor, and the Director of Upward Bound at Harding University. I asked Stephanie about the spiritual challenges college students face, and the resulting conversation was a pretty sobering one. There was actually so much to talk about, that a little over halfway through our conversation we began to realize we would need another hour or so to finish. So, this episode is part 1 of 2. Although there is a lot of reason to be concerned about and pray for Christian college students, Stephanie assured me there is plenty of reason to have hope as well.
