As you prepare for life after high school, how can you make your faith your own? Brett Kunkle explains why it’s important to know what you believe and why you believe it, think critically about the messages shaping your worldview, and build confidence through Scripture, learning, and conversations with people who see things differently.
Leaving home for college brings new opportunities to grow, but it also means encountering new ideas and cultural pressures that may challenge what you believe. Brett Kunkle, founder of Maven, explains why a faith built only on what your parents or church have taught you isn’t enough—you need to understand your own reasons for believing and develop a biblical worldview that helps you make sense of life. He encourages students to start with Scripture, read thoughtfully, and use trusted resources to explore their questions rather than avoiding difficult topics. Brett also challenges seniors to move beyond their comfort zones by engaging in honest conversations with people who hold different beliefs, allowing those conversations to reveal what they know and where they can keep growing. His message is that college can be more than a place to earn a degree: it can be an opportunity to live out your faith, love others, and become a thoughtful, confident leader.
