In this episode, Shane and Spence talk with Jon Walker, a history professor at Forsyth Tech Community College. Jon shares about his spiritual journey, how he wrestled with the decision between full-time ministry and teaching, and what it means to integrate faith in the classroom. He opens up about trauma in his early professional career, how God used those moments to redirect him, and how he now views teaching as a true calling and ministry. This episode will especially encourage Christian professors who are trying to discern their vocational path or how to express their faith naturally on campus. about Jon Walker online: https://meettheprof.com/view/professors/entry/jon-walker/Email Jon Walker:[email protected] Takeaways:Teaching history can be deeply personal and transformative for studentsEmbarrassing moments in the classroom can become teachable momentsFaith became personal for Jon through discipleship in collegeJon wrestled between teaching and vocational ministry, but found both can be ministryProfessors can integrate faith by listening well and offering prayer when appropriateBoldness grows over time when representing Christ publicly on campusChristian professors, you're invited to Submit a Profile online sharing how Jesus rescued you at: https://meettheprof.com/create-profile/Students and parents can find over 500 Christian professors at:https://meettheprof.com/College students can submit questions for professors by sending us a video by DM stating your name, campus, and question to:https://www.instagram.com/meettheprofofficial/Get free resources for answering questions about God at:https://www.everystudent.com/Watch Meet The Prof on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@MeetTheProfOfficial/videosIf you’d like to financially support our ministry, you can do so online at https://give.cru.org/0424344
