About this episode
Pastor D.J. Horton and Dr. Dondi Costin discuss the significance of Christian higher education for young people navigating life after high school.
Knowing what to do after high school can feel overwhelming for young people as they try to figure out what’s next in life. Should they pursue a trade? Go to college? If so, what kind of college? Join Pastor D.J. Horton and Dr. Dondi Costin, President of Liberty University, for a conversation on the value and importance of Christian higher education. Dondi, a retired Major General whose military career culminated at the Pentagon, where he served as the eighteenth Air Force Chief of Chaplains, has long had a passion for helping young people discern their calling. College shapes our children physically, mentally, emotionally, and, most importantly, spiritually, so it’s vital to consider whether or not the college they attend will equip them to be stronger spiritually and more committed to a biblical worldview.
