We're here to have real conversations about what it looks like to follow Jesus in college. Our desire is to walk with college students as they walk with Jesus in Austin at the University of Texas. Join your hosts, Tyler Heidelberg and Rachel Ross, every other week as they answer the questions college students are asking.
None of us start a semester planning to drift. We don’t intend to become spiritually apathetic, isolated, overwhelmed, or pulled back into old patterns. But somewhere between the first week of classes and finals, it’s easy to realize we’ve become someone we never meant to be.
The truth is, every semester is shaping you. Your habits, relationships, schedule, environment, and ordinary decisions are all forming you into someone. The question isn’t whether you’re being discipled, it’s what is discipling you, and who you’ll become if nothing changes.
Join Tyler Heidelberg, Rachel Ross, and Gray Beasley as they talk about why good intentions usually aren’t enough, the small decisions that shape an entire semester, the people and patterns influencing us most, and how God actually forms us into people who look more like Jesus.

Ep. 16 | Don't Waste Your Summer Job
Your internship, summer job, or workplace isn’t just somewhere to clock in, build a résumé, and make some money. It’s also a place full of people God has put around you. But what does it actually look like to be a witness without being weird, forced, or treating people like projects?
Join Tyler Heidelberg, Rachel Ross, and Gray Beasley as they talk about living differently, talking about Jesus, recognizing spiritual openings in normal conversations, building genuine relationships with people who believe differently, and making the most of the time you have with the people around you.
