One of the hardest things you will do as a Christian (besides going to a life-threatening place because of religion) will be to step on a college campus. There is no longer the safety blanket of youth group there to tell you how to be a Christian anymore.
Instead of wishing to establish a true relationship with you and build fellowship, college Christian communities are more focused on building numbers than building disciples. College is one the easiest places for the devil to steal, kill, and destroy. College will make you question years of a practiced religion in just months.
You are thrown to the wolves in a society that refuses to identify religion. Your college wants you to be a faceless person that doesn't identify with their religion. They let atheists and agnostics teach a religions class that is supposed to focus on the beliefs of one of the worlds largest practicing religions. You are not congratulated for standing up for what you believe in class, such as pro-life, but rather torn down for not respecting a woman's body. Yet I am a woman. Your beliefs are irrelevant not expected.
The media that is used as a resource in college will tell roommates and classmates my gender is repressed by my religion. It will say I want to hurt gays or people that believe differently than I. MY God, MY Faith, and MY religion is based in the everlasting love of God and the grace and mercy I don't deserve yet still receive.
I am a Christian living in the most worldly place I could be. And I miss Him. I miss the fellowship that made it so easy for me to grow closer to Him. Or the Bible studies that made me rethink the story of Jesus I had heard in so many times before. I miss seeing and feeling his presence. My experience in college has only made miss God's everlasting love, only to realize it never left. It was there reaching for me; I just had to reach for it.
A youth group, college ministry, class, professor, or classmate do not get to decide IF I get to be a Christian and HOW I get to be one.
