Academics need partners.
Give me a minute to explain.
The academic life is not for everyone, but I love it. It is good to be with other like-minded professors at conferences or on campus. There are two groups of likeminded Christian profs I would like to mention.
The Consortium of Christian Study Centers is dedicated to cultivating thoughtful Christian presence on public universities, across North America. The International Alliance for Christian Education unifies and strengthens excellence in biblical teaching and practice, cultural witness and scholarship, resourcing Christian education at all levels.
Such academically minded folks need the support and encouragement of The Church. Christian faculty and students participate in a world of ideas. Biblical thinking is enlivened by groups such as the Christian Study Center Movement and the International Alliance for Christian Education. I’m glad to be partnered with both.
Thanks for spending this minute with me, Dr. Mark Eckel.

“Give Me a Minute” is an ongoing effort to simply, clearly, and quickly explain aspects of true Truth.
Gratitude, as always, to my longtime friend, videographer, and tech guru Josh for his continued service.
