Not all are called to be leaders, but all of us are called to followership. In these confusing times of fake news, uncertain truths, and questionable leaders, we must understand and respond with faithful followership. Moreover, faithful followership isn't required only when we step into the public square or tune in to our favorite news channel. In our personal journeys, families and marriages, workplaces, churches, and communities, we must decide who to follow and how to follow. Old patterns and habits require discernment, clarity with gender, culture, and race, and other factors, while understanding the important roles of worldview and community.
It seems that politicians and news pundits bring up the issue of abortion daily. Why? Because it’s a significant point of contention in today’s society.

"This book poses the question being asked by many college administrators: how can we know if the education promised in our mission statement is actually taking place? Moreover, both constituents and accrediting agencies are also asking colleges to demonstrate how and wherein goals are accomplished.
