Navigating Secular College Life
Apostolic students preparing for secular college may face significant challenges as they encounter ideas that conflict with their upbringing. The experience of the speaker at Rice University highlights a culture filled with temptations, such as activities centered around alcohol and adult films, leading to the concern for maintaining one’s faith.
