Here is the second part of my interview with Rod Dreher on his book The Benedict Option. In this second part, we talk about what the Benedict Option might look like on a college campus, and what Christians face in the modern academy.

I had the pleasure recently to interview Rod Dreher about The Benedict Option. In Part 1 we talk about some general concepts that Rod is trying to get across to his readers. We cover the background of St. Benedict, practical application of some aspects of the Rule of St. Benedict, liquid modernity, and why Rod decided now was the right time to write the book. This interview was for the No Campus Left podcast. Part 2, which will focus more on how the Benedict Option affect the campus, will come out soon.

In 2003 a new form of education was born with a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. It was called Early College, and would help accelerate a high-school student’s ability to begin college work. The first Early College was in North Carolina at Guildford College. Today, there are 113 early college programs in North Carolina, with many others scattered around the country. For churches and ministries doing collegiate work, the Early College concept presents unique challenges and opportunities for ministry: high-school students on a college campus, administered by a high-school system.
I am always excited and amazed when I sit down to do a podcast with someone. This month, however, I was truly inspired when I sat down with Scott Kilby who is on staff at BCM of the High Country in Boone, NC. His story of how God lead him to go into collegiate ministry, and how he raised his support in just six months is a testament to God and how what seems like the impossible can happen. I hope you will spend a few minutes to hear his story and see what God can do to bring workers to the harvest. Here is the link for the No Campus Left podcast.
This past week at the annual meeting of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, I had the privilege to sit down with six highly gifted individuals to record four interviews for the No Campus Left podcast. It was a great but busy time as we explored many different facets of collegiate ministry. In the next coming months we will be putting these podcasts out on iTunes. I hope you will be looking out for them. Though we have not decided on the order, here are the four interview topics:
The first upload from this batch should be up in early December and you can subscribe in iTunes under No Campus Left. Click here
