This page is for faculty interested in the Christian Professors Project (CPP).
The project is explained by the promotional video to the series:
The following link is the 3000 word curricular piece that accompanies the video by the same name below:

Greetings fellow faculty member! One of my roles is to facilitate a video and curriculum project to help Christian faculty at (public and Christian) universities to think and teach with Transcendent truth (pointing out ideas that must have a source, an origin, outside humans). If you would be willing to create a video, your ideas should center on:
(1) how does your belief in Transcendent truth impact your teaching
(2) how have you presented at least two topics taught with Transcendent ideas
We will work toward the following ideas for video content from August through November 2025. Contribute to any, more than one, or all the categories as you so desire:
Purpose – Meaning
Beauty – Creativity
Transformation of the Person
Philosophy of a Christian worldview
Beliefs about Eternal – Temporal
Discipline of Evaluation – Application
Approaches in Truth-telling
Living with Humility with Charity
Contributors will record their interviews at their universities in mp4 format. Background and sound quality are important. Hide the lapel mic if possible (clip to a jacket or provide a boom mic). Dress should be business casual. Editing in post-production will be for length only (usually 60 second sound bites). So far, professors have recorded anywhere from eight to twenty minutes of content. A document stipulating the use of your personal visage and voice and whatever intellectual property you choose to share for the project will need your signature. Your influence could potentially reach thousands of professors who could benefit from your expertise.
An example from an interior design professor at Florida State University (FSU): Design must work, solve problems, and be a blessing the holder, user, wearer, inhabitant, etc. Therefore, design outcomes must be excellent and only an excellent Designer can make that which is Good. Following the example of our Creator, any human designer must also leave their fingerprints throughout their work – they must pour their heart into their creations for the benefit of those who use their work. At its core, design is for the betterment of others, for the beneficiaries of the design. Designers design for those who cannot design for themselves, and by nature should be an act of kindness, much more than simply a business transaction.
