Parents spend so many years investing in their children’s character. It’s natural that they’d want their kids to not only be prepared for the marketplace but also mentored/discipled/invested one-on-one by professors to help them become virtuous people. King’s is different.

My colleague Dr. @Dru_Johnson this semester investing in our student’s spiritual and mental health. 
Spent 3 hours talk about faith and life with this young King, Edwin P., the other night. He’s proud of his Mexican heritage and is a semi-pro soccer player! Outstanding. Unreal empathy forged by resilience. He’s a real adult. He’s going to be an amazing father someday!
The Gentlemen of @House_of_Lewis singing the doxology after a night of talking about the masculine journey.
Reading amazing books (entire books, in a Socratic context) and looking fly while doing it! 😂
This is Jack from Memphis who runs a non-profit (a real one) that helps high school students with mental health issues. Every time we get a meal, I’m blown away even more! Using his natural power to help others instead being self-centered & vice-driven.
Outside of class the professor-student formation continues...
Dinner debriefs after class to unpack our discussions about race this semester with Jobe F (while watching football, of course). This brother turned down an HBCU to come to King’s. I still don’t know how we got him!
Me with the @MenofChurchill freshmen getting meals. And on and on. King’s *really* is different. Having a good job is great but gaining expertise in Godly wisdom & moral virtue seems like something worth investing in as well. That’s not happing from profs at State College X.
