MTP 67: “And I Will Give You Rest”: Finding Your True Identity in Jesus through Sabbath Keeping, Roundtable Part 2 15:10

26 днів тому15:10

15:10

This episode is part 2 of our roundtable discussion with Christian professors from around the country. We explore themes of Sabbath rest and identity in Christ, and professors share personal stories and practical ways to keep Jesus at the center of academic life and our identity. Main Takeaways Practicing Sabbath is vital to resisting the pressure to overwork and to reorient identity around Jesus. A Christian worldview informs not just professional work but all of life—relationships, attitudes, and service. Professors can openly identify as Christians in class while tactfully building relationships with students. Encouraging and mentoring students often begins with simply making faith known early in the semester. Avoiding work-based identity requires intentional rest, prayer, and seeing worth in how God sees us. New faculty outreach, such as gift bags and welcome luncheons, can be strategic entry points for ministry.

MTP 66: Roundtable Discussion, How to Recenter Your Identity on Jesus Instead of Work, Part 1 18:53

5 weeks тому18:53

18:53

In this unique roundtable format of Meet The Prof , we gather over a dozen Christian professors from campuses across the country to discuss a timely and personal question: how do we avoid getting our identity from our work instead of Christ? Inspired by a powerful clip from Sara Myers, the episode explores real struggles, vulnerable stories, and practical steps professors are taking to keep Jesus at the center. Main Takeaways Professors often derive their sense of worth from their productivity or professional status, but this can lead to burnout and discouragement. A Christ-centered identity offers greater peace, purpose, and emotional resilience. Vulnerable stories from professors show how course evaluations, promotions, and academic rejection can influence mood and self-worth. Professors need to intentionally create boundaries and reframe their roles as part of God's story. Regular community and reminders help Christian professors stay grounded in their faith.

In this episode of Meet the Prof, we sit down with Dr. Sara Myers, Professor of Biomechanics and Associate Vice Chancellor for Research and Creative Activity at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Sara shares openly about a challenging season in her marriage during grad school, and how God used that time to deepen her faith, reshape her priorities, and teach her to surrender both her career and parenting to Him. Read more about Sara Myers online: https://meettheprof.com/view/professors/entry/sara-myers Main Takeaways God used Sara’s marital separation and academic stress to draw her into a deeper, daily relationship with Jesus. Surrendering identity in career opened the door to spiritual growth and greater professional success. Parenting teenagers and young adults involves discernment, surrender, and honest dialogue. Professors often struggle with over-identifying with achievement and need reminders that identity is in Christ. Professors can model faith by demonstrating transparency, humility, and prayerful dependence.

She shares how she initiated a faculty prayer group on campus, offers prayer to students without rejection, and shares Christ naturally through daily conversations.

23:44

Dr. Jane Qiong Zhang is a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of South Florida. In this episode, she shares her powerful story of moving from China to the U.S. for graduate school and encountering the love of God in a small, remote town. She opens up about her early struggles with performance-based identity, the life-changing moment she embraced God’s unconditional love, and the creative ways she now makes her faith visible to students inside and outside the classroom. Read more about Jane Zhang online: https://meettheprof.com/view/professors/entry/qiong-jane-zhang/ Main Takeaways from the Interview: Jane came to faith in a remote Bible study group in Michigan—proof that God can reach people anywhere. A turning point in her spiritual growth came when she realized she didn’t need to perform for God’s love. She creates simple yet bold opportunities for faith conversations with students through office décor, classroom discussions, and prayer. International students are still open to the gospel—but motivations have shifted over the years. Students, even non-believers, appreciate and receive prayer more often than we think.

Jeff Colbert, Political Science professor at UNC Greensboro, shares wisdom on how Christian professors can be a godly influence without dominating classroom debates. He talks about praying for students, encouraging respectful dialogue, and building Christian faculty community. He also offers heartfelt advice for parents, students, and faculty—and shares how God is prompting him to re-engage in leadership on campus. Read more about Jeff Colbert online: https://meettheprof.com/view/professors/entry/jeff-colbert Campus email: mjcolber@uncg.edu Main Takeaways: Professors can model respectful disagreement without always “showing their cards.” Mutual respect and understanding are core to good political discourse. Prayer for students matters, even if done imperfectly. Faculty groups help overcome fear and build courage. Professors play a key mentoring role—students should reach out more. Many parents over-manage their college-age kids—let them grow up. University resources are paid for—students should take advantage of them.
