147: The Evangelical College Experience w/ Scott Okamoto

  • Résumé

  • If you’ve got a child nearing college or already there, this episode is for you. 

    We’re going to take a critical look at evangelical colleges and universities and analyze the experience they provide our kids. Having attended the evangelical college Wheaton, I have firsthand experience to bring to the table that we’ll discuss throughout today’s show.

    Joining me is the host of the Chapel Probation podcast, Scott Okamoto. He grew up in a conservative Christian family but began deconstructing when he went away to college. Eventually, he became a professor at an evangelical university and started to clarify his progressive Christian beliefs. This led to him stepping away and becoming a stay-at-home dad. 

    Tune in to hear my conversation with Scott on the evangelical college experience from each of our unique perspectives. 

    Show Highlights:

    • Scott’s background with evangelicalism.
    • Why he stepped down from his job at APU and became a stay-at-home dad.
    • What inspired him to start his podcast.
    • Where I was at in my faith while attending Wheaton.
    • The paradox of the evangelical college experience.
    • The challenges deconstruction brings to parenting.
    • Why we must love our kids well and then trust them to make the right decisions.
    • Advice for parents thinking about sending their kids to an evangelical college.
    • Advice for students attending an evangelical college right now.
