Intersection of Christianity and Academia at State Universities

from The Coffee Hour from KFUO Radio

What does a Christian and academic gathering space do to benefit students at state universities? The Rev. Dr. Trevor Sutton (Senior Pastor, St. Luke in Lansing, MI; Adjunct Professor of Theology at Concordia University, Irvine) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about what a Christian Study Center is, how this space intersecting Christianity and academia benefits students, what makes a Christian Study Center different from other Christian spaces around a college campus, how the idea started for a Christian Study Center at Michigan State University, why this concept is uniquely important to Pastor Sutton, and what the future holds for the Christian Study Center at Michigan State. Learn more about Christian Study Centers at cscmovement.org. For more information on the Christian Study Center at MSU, reach out to Pastor Sutton through St. Luke's website, knowingjesus.org/about-us. As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
