Flashback to when Will Witt asked students if there are alternatives to woke universities.
what's up guys what's up guys what's up
guys this is Will with Prager you over
the past few years I've talked to
thousands of college students at
campuses Across America I've heard some
pretty crazy ideas I wanted to find out
if all colleges in America are the same
or if there are some options out there
that are different today I'm at Dallas
Baptist University asking students about
their experiences at a faith-based
university let's see what they have to
say why is Faith so important in
education I think faith is so important
in education because uh each person has
a calling in their life no matter what
it is and as Christ's followers we're
supposed to go out and share the good
news no matter if that means we're going
to be a doctor or a business owner or an
engineer um we need to make that our
mission field why is a faith based
education important incorporating that
in every aspect of Education whether
that be teaching or nursing or um
politics anything along that lines that
we really uh make sure that we're having
our faith driven behind all of it I
think having that like Christ centered
education just really shapes who I am
and it shapes like what I'm learning
whereas in my state school it was a
little bit different where I kind of was
more focused on what you are doing and
how you can gain your own personal value
it's it's not just like you taking on
the world and trying to just be who the
Lord created you to be on your own but
you're able to walk alongside others in
community in that what do you think
makes DBU special from other
universities um the obvious is their
integrated faith I think that it's not
just something that they put on the
front of the building or or something
that they just promote but it's
something that is truly in every single
heart of every staff member faculty and
student you will find your greatest
friends here greatest professors our
classes are pretty small so we actually
get to have a relationship with our
teachers I have genuine relationships
with my professors um they have a lot of
experience working in the corporate
world working um in Ministry working
just different places and so they're
able to give me a lot of knowledge a lot
of wisdom and that I can apply on a
higher level of Education you're
involved in extracurriculars what are
those and how has that affected your
time here at DBU so I'm involved with
the debate team here on campus I've been
blessed enough to be the president and
the head coach of it and honestly the
best thing for me there is it's really
helped with my liberal arts education so
instead of just being able to say what
you believe it's helped me to Think
Through what it is that I actually
believe how do you think that is
preparing you for the future
it's really preparing me because I want
to be a professor one day so that is
really helpful just in higher red
gaining those experiences but seeing the
kind of leader I want to be one day all
right guys thank you so much for
