Many in the Christian community today are dissatisfied with the moral, ethical, and philosophical mindset of the leaders of our country. It is important to note these values are most often formed in the university, especially in the social sciences and humanities. Christian professors have a unique opportunity to instill the insights of Christianity into our future teachers, lawyers, lawmakers, doctors, executives, and journalists. That is, Biblical explanations of man's relationship with God, himself, society, and our world. Professors can form a student's world view which will remain with him or her as long as they live.
Faculty interact daily with other faculty members.
Christian professors who live an upright life before their colleagues can take opportunities to explain in a friendly fashion how and why they live and work the way they do. As philosophers, scientists, and engineers, Christian professors directly affect society through their research, advice, and opinion. Their work often helps to counterbalance other viewpoints emanating from a non-Christian perspective. As mature Christians, professors are a source of hope and help to Christian graduate students, and they often serve as spiritual mentors in their lives. These professors' Christian witness inspires students to practice and verbalize their faith as well.
