This world is filled with uncertainty, competition and stress. Amidst the pressures surrounding us, it is not difficult to feel lost and disheartened, and even at times question whether we are on the right path. The old testament Joseph represents this journey in a sense, there were multiple times in his life where he must have felt discouraged and alone, and yet God knew the path set before him.

Universities are often thought of as a place of enlightenment, deep academic thought and intellectualism, and despite this being true, universities are some of the most secular, cold, and God-shunning habitats on the face of the earth. Being a follower of Jesus as a student comes with its hardships. We are incessantly harassed to conform to conflicting ideologies, and at times it seems like our personal values and convictions are at odds with a society that demands that we think and believe in a way that it alone dictates.
Although Christianity is not openly persecuted and ridiculed in ..read more
