For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

God commanded in Joshua 1:9, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

To be able to build bridges in our institutions, we need to be strong and courageous, just as Christ was.

Being confident allows others to find their own strength and grow into the next university leader, pastor, or humble servant.

Staying assured of what we’re providing to the world allows the light of Christ to shine through us.

That’s why we’re chatting with Shirley Hoogstra, President of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU). With an upcoming retirement after ten years in leadership at CCCU, Shirley shares her wisdom to empower the next generation of problem solvers and bridge builders.

In this episode, we dive into the highs and lows of the Christian Higher Ed landscape.

Join us as we discuss:

[6:48] A look back at the last ten years of biblical higher ed
[15:18] Today’s Christian Higher Ed challenges
