Episode Synopsis

In this unique roundtable format of Meet The Prof, we gather over a dozen Christian professors from campuses across the country to discuss a timely and personal question: how do we avoid getting our identity from our work instead of Christ? Inspired by a powerful clip from Sara Myers, the episode explores real struggles, vulnerable stories, and practical steps professors are taking to keep Jesus at the center.Main TakeawaysProfessors often derive their sense of worth from their productivity or professional status, but this can lead to burnout and discouragement.A Christ-centered identity offers greater peace, purpose, and emotional resilience.Vulnerable stories from professors show how course evaluations, promotions, and academic rejection can influence mood and self-worth.Professors need to intentionally create boundaries and reframe their roles as part of God's story.Regular community and reminders help Christian professors stay grounded in their faith.Christian professors, we invite you to:Submit a Profile on MeetTheProf.com: https://meettheprof.com/create-profile/Read A Grander Story: An Invitation to Christian Professors: https://a.co/d/8VoYXSVStudents and parents can find over 500 Christian professors at:https://meettheprof.com/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
