Last week was IVCF's Graduate and Faculty Ministry's National Staff Conference. I arrived early (on Monday) for a track and I attended a seminar series during the main part of the conference to provide direction and training as I push forward with identifying, encouraging, and equipping Christian faculty to be redeeming influences in higher education. Also, I had several important conversations regarding the development of material for the Emerging Scholars Network (ESN). I will begin working on material to address the first of ESN's 4 questions when I'm over my cold.  Note: Please email me if you have suggestions for material to be covered/addressed as we ask academically gifted/interested college juniors and seniors to consider Why should I consider pursing an academic vocation?

During the main sessions of the conference, our staff team had the opportunity to hear and interact with Scot McKnight. For some of his thoughts on his time with our team and my enthusiasm for what he shared, check out his posting and my comment.  When I assemble my notes, I'll post them . . . falling behind in this area as I've had the opportunity to God's people share too much good stuff!  May it continue to be so.  Praise be to God and the work of His Spirit!
