Should students go straight to college after High school? Tommy Nelson, Senior Pastor of Denton Bible Church, would argue no. “Colleges now are trying to make you a living, but not a life,” he says. To combat this problem, Nelson has created GAP, a 9-month leadership program where high school graduates can learn theology, life skills, job skills, and more before attending a university.

 

In today’s episode, Nelson discusses why he started GAP, how it operates, and how we can prepare young people to stand against the rise of secularism on college campuses. Visit https://www.dbcmedia.org/ to learn more about GAP.
