“I got to college excited about having freedom and getting to make my own choices. I joined IV so my friends and family wouldn’t be concerned but I didn’t get too involved. After my freshman year, I attended Basileia and heard a very clear call for me to leave things of this world behind me and to follow Jesus. God met me in the most unique and personal way and my life was forever changed. The remainder of my undergraduate career, I developed a deeper love for the Word and also saw students and leaders grow a desire to see their corners of campus renewed. It was in college I became a true follower of Jesus and my life was forever changed. ❤️”
