Faith & Frat Boys
(Filed under: College)Time magazine covers Christians at secular universities in a story that will make some parents squirm. But if you can get past the frat boy stepping over half-naked, lesbians before heading out to church, well, you might find something interesting.
It's actually not as bad as that. The story starts with 21-year-old Brandon Straub, a Christian who lives in a fraternity for the chance to share his faith with his fellow frat boys. Sometimes that makes for some interesting situations and it's not always easy: Straub admits to a few drunken nights of his own.
The story explores the choice Christians end up making with college: choose a Christian school and seal yourself off from the world in a Christian bubble, or take the supposed highway to hell that is a secular university. One offers a supposedly safe environment to explore your faith, the other offers real opportunity for ministry, as well as real opportunity for what college is famous for: beer and sex.
It's a tough call. I went the Christian school route, and quite honestly am still living in a Christian bubble with minimal opportunity to interact with non-Christians and share my faith. I wouldn't trade my experience for anything, but I also see the value and good Christians can do in secular schools. If you're thinking about college, prayerfully consider about where your place may be.
