MTP 81: Lane Weaver, How to Make Yourself Available for Spiritual Conversations with Students

from Meet The Prof, with Shane & Spence · host Shane Hartley

I was inspired by my interview with Lane Weaver, a faculty member in Utah State University’s music department and director of its marching band. He discusses how professors can build spiritually meaningful relationships with students, how Cru and apologetics strengthened his faith during college, how he recently discipled a new Iranian believer, and how he opens his office for prayer with students! He encourages professors to be intentionally available, create safe places for honest questions, and remember that they are teaching people—not merely subjects.Read more about Lane Weaver online:https://meettheprof.com/view/professors/entry/lane-weaver/Book reference: The Story of Reality: How the World Began, How it Ends, and Everything Important that Happens in Betweenby Gregory KouklResources from Faculty Commons, a Cru ministry:Find 500+ Christian professors at https://meettheprof.com/Faculty Commons – https://www.facultycommons.org/A Grander Story – https://a.co/d/8VoYXSVEveryStudent.com – https://www.everystudent.com/Watch MTP on YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@MeetTheProfOfficial/videosYou can support Shane Hartley's ministry with Faculty Commons, a Cru ministry, at this link: ⁠⁠https://give.cru.org/0424344⁠⁠
