Student Testimony: Sutton (Auburn University)
from The Launch Mission Hosted by Tommy McGregor, Sutton
College gives you the chance to decide who you’re going to be — and Sutton’s story shows how meaningful that choice can be. In this episode, Sutton shares her journey from navigating faith and temptation in high school to starting college out of state and rebuilding community from scratch. She talks honestly about loneliness, homesickness, and the pressure to figure everything out quickly — and why trusting God in those early weeks mattered more than having instant friendships. You’ll hear how community didn’t happen overnight, how the local church became a foundation, and how her faith deepened as she learned to place her identity in Christ rather than people or social circles. Sutton also shares why retreats like The Oaks can give incoming students a head start on finding community and seeing what faithful college life can look like. The takeaway is simple but powerful: following Jesus in college is worth it — and preparation before you arrive makes all the difference.
