a “secular” education). Colleges and universities are forming students
into something. The question is: what?
Education is formative in that not only does it impact the mind but also the

In a time where our country and humanity is living in a great amount of fear,
being at OCU gives me so much hope. I find peace in being here as I look
around the classrooms- I see the future. I sit and look at all of the
hardworking students and how each one of them has a divine purpose they are
preparing for. A purpose given specially to them because of their skills and
abilities. A purpose given to them because our King knows what He is doing.
I sit in a class of 20 people and think, "there are 20 world changers right
here." It amazes me to think what we, as
