Life After College (Life) with Stanford Gibson, Miriam Hamilton, and Peter Nittler

Your Pod and Your Staff

“College is the best years of your life!” One hears that sentiment quite a bit. It sounds great to a Freshman – it’s all ahead of you. But, if it’s true, it’s pretty devastating news to a graduating Senior – it’s all behind you.

We don’t believe it – at least not fully. This is why we’ve always wanted to do college ministry in a way that makes these years the best you’ve experienced so far– growth, fun, knowledge, laughter, friendship – but that actually sets you up to make the next decade even better. That’s the whole idea of becoming complete and equipped – you’d be ready to thrive in whatever comes next.

But like, what does come next? Once you return your cap and gown, what world are you walking into? In this conversation, Stanford, Miriam, and Peter look at three spheres of what life looks like after college: the social sphere (10:50), the vocational sphere (37:30), and the Church sphere (1:12:30). We touch on what to expect, what pitfalls to avoid, and what you can do to get to “thriving” more quickly. We believe this conversation is useful for every college student, and we also hope it blesses our graduates: we love you and can’t wait for your next decade. Enjoy the pod...
