A group of students from the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business gathered every week this spring to explore the intersection of faith and vocation in a new biblical study: Company and the Bible.
The students dug subjects such as the way in which the Word of God informs our use of time, talent and treasure, and what it means to live their call. They fought with questions about the goal, leadership and generosity – through the objective of their profession. This initiative is a powerful example of students exploring the character, the initiative and the call – the characteristics of a Campbell education.
The group started after the teachers and the staff noticed more students sharing how central their faith in their university career. Jessica Boone (accounting president) and Renee Green (director of leadership and students’ success) responded with a space for a more in -depth exploration – the one who put the students to the challenge of asking, What is it like to lead with faith in the market?
“Business and the Bible were an option that offered a safe space for discussions and essential questions that bind our faith in our career,” said Boone. “It was a double meeting that left all the parts involved better equipped to be daring and rooted. There is a proverb that declares: “Iron sharpens iron …”- I think it was true of our time in BNB. “
“The most precious point of view for me has been that it is both wise and scriptural to delegate,” said a student. “We don’t have to do everything by ourselves.”
Another student reflected: “I thought that discussions on work / life balance and how it relates to the church and your daily spiritual march was interesting. I could say that others had the same challenges and situations that I lived, and I appreciated sharing faith and advice. ”
