YOUR COLLEGE COUNSELING PROGRAM SHOULD FIT YOUR CHRISTIAN MISSION

A 2017 study by Gary A. Tobin, PhD, and Aryeh K. Weinberg revealed two alarming realities about higher education:

• Atheism is over five times more prevalent among college faculty than in the general public.

• Faculty are significantly less religious and far less likely to attend religious services.

• 
  

These trends matter. According to Barna research, 70% of Christian students lose their faith during college—most never return. That’s not just a statistic; it’s a warning.

Christian schools must take this seriously. Now more than ever, your mission must shape every program, especially your college counseling efforts.

True Biblical Integration Is More Than a Catchphrase

Biblical integration isn’t about sprinkling a few verses into a lesson plan. It’s about building every subject on the truth that all knowledge originates from God. Science, history, technology—even AI—are all products of discovering God's creation. No man has invented anything, they have only discovered what God already invented and created.

When God is the foundation of knowledge, He must also be the foundation of how we teach and prepare students for the future.

Think of it like this: butter spread on bread can be scraped off. But when God's truth is baked into the recipe of your programs, it can’t be removed without destroying the whole thing.

College Counseling Can’t Be an Afterthought

Your college readiness program should be a fortress of faith, not a logistical checklist. Students are entering an environment where many professors actively challenge Christianity. Without a firm foundation, your students could become part of that 70% who walk away from their faith.

The growing trend of “faith deconstruction” shows what happens when students tear down beliefs they never truly understood or owned. If their faith wasn’t built on rock, it won’t survive the storm.

Christian schools must build stronger structures—faith reinforced with truth, critical thinking, and spiritual resilience.
