    Keeping the Faith in College

    In this episode I'm joined by oldest son, Bralon, who is currently a sophomore in college. He shares two ways he has been able to maintain and grow his faith in college. I wanted to discuss this with him because studies show that many walk away from the faith between the ages of 18 and 25. Listen in as he shares his tips for other students. I also read one of the entries from the And Before You Go Devotional available at www.andbeforeyougo.com/devotional.
