A new semester is just around the corner! Before classes begin, take a few minutes to set yourself up for success.

✓ Review your course schedule.
✓ Set up a quiet, distraction-free study space.
✓ Check your technology and internet connection.
✓ Gather your books and course materials.
✓ Block out dedicated study time on your calendar.
✓ Most importantly, take a moment to pray and ask God to guide you throughout the semester.

A little preparation now can help you start the Fall A semester with confidence. We’re praying for each of our students as they begin another season of learning and growth!

Looking ahead to the Fall A semester, we’re excited to highlight one of the books MIN103 students will be reading: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer.

In a culture that celebrates busyness, this book offers a timely reminder that following Jesus often requires slowing down. Comer explores how hurry can distract us from our relationship with God and shares practical ways to cultivate a life marked by peace, presence, and spiritual depth.

Whether you’re preparing for the upcoming semester or looking for your next meaningful read, this book is an invitation to pause, breathe, and make room for what matters most.

Have you read The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

As a new semester begins, it’s easy to focus on everything that’s ahead of us. New classes, new responsibilities, and new opportunities can feel both exciting and overwhelming.

This month’s Scripture reminds us that we don’t have to rely on our own strength. God’s grace is enough for every challenge we face, and His power shines brightest when we trust Him in our weakness.

Whatever this month holds, may you find confidence in His grace and peace in His presence.

God has a way of using what we learn in ways we never expect.

Sometimes it’s a lesson from a class that helps us encourage a friend. Other times it’s a ministry experience, a conversation with a mentor, or a challenge that prepares us for a season we didn’t see coming.

Education isn’t just about gaining knowledge. It’s about allowing God to shape us so we’re ready for whatever He calls us to next.

What’s something you learned through education, ministry training, or life experience that God ended up using in a way you never expected?

Share your story in the comments. We’d love to hear how God has been at work in your life.
