My College Story (Part 1)

Ministry Spotlight: Cru

Starting college can feel exciting, overwhelming, and sometimes lonely as you try to figure out where you belong. In this episode, we’re kicking off our Campus Ministry Spotlight series by sharing highlights and clips from past conversations about Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ). We answer questions like: What is Cru? What does Cru look like on a college campus? And why do so many students choose to get involved in campus ministries during college?

My College Story (Part 2)

This episode is Part 2 of our College Stories series, where we read real stories from college students so you can learn from their experiences before you ever step on campus. In this episode, we dive into three new situations: settling for easy friendships instead of meaningful ones, falling into credit card debt due to lack of financial discipline, and staying silent in class out of fear. Each story highlights how small decisions—who you surround yourself with, how you handle money, and whether you ask for help—can shape your entire college experience. The goal? Learn from others so you don’t have to learn everything the hard way.

My College Story (Part 1)

As you get closer to graduation, it’s easy to assume you’ll just “figure it out” when you get to college—but these stories show how quickly things can feel overwhelming without a plan. In Part 1 of this 2-part series, we’re reading real college stories from students so you can learn from what they experienced before you step on campus. Saying yes to everything can stretch you too thin, avoiding honest conversations (like with a roommate) can build frustration, and staying too tied to high school friends can keep you from building new community. One of the biggest takeaways: your faith won’t grow on autopilot—you have to be intentional about it. Learn from these stories now so you can walk into college prepared.
