Impressive to see what Jesse has built in three years.
Christian colleges face a critical juncture, and Jesse is uniquely positioned to help guide them toward a successful future. I’m excited to see CAFF’s continued growth and influence.

OTD in 2023, I left the academy to launch @CAFF_HigherEd. The move was bittersweet b/c I loved teaching students & contributing to campus life, but it has been amazing to watch how the Lord has blessed our work. Here are some highlights as we celebrate CAFF's 3rd anniversary.🧵1/

This @WNGdotorg piece by Nathan Finn is spot-on: Christian Higher Ed has a tremendous opportunity amidst the wider turmoil engulfing academia. Seizing it will require that colleges lead from mission rather than seeking the wider academy's approval.

We agree with @GLCCCrusaders President Frank Weller—authentically Christian colleges should be optimistic in spite of recent headwinds because families want faithful colleges!
