Are you a future professor?
Then consider something most of your churches and certainly none of your departments will talk about. That is spelling out what it means for you to be a missional professor rather than a professor who happens to be a Christian. What would it mean to transform your occupation into a vocation, a job into a calling? If Jesus had as his mission in life not to go to the cross, but instead to do your job, with your background training rather than carpentry, your gifting and talents, etc., how would that impact how you should do your job? In addition to ongoing R&D groups discussing this, we have a summer project specifically designated for future professors. To know more: http://vocaresp.wordpress.com/.
