Reaching Gen Z with the Gospel in the College Classroom: Awakening the Imago Dei in Gen Z

The majority of students on college campuses currently are members of Generation Z. They are the most stressed cohort to ever embark on their journey through higher education, reporting "the highest stress levels of any generation in the country," according to The American Psychological Association, as well as the highest suicide rate. This is the field, white unto harvest, into which God has called professors at Christian universities. But are they up to the challenge of reaching their students for Christ? Palm Beach Atlantic University's triperspectival motto, "enlightening minds, enriching souls and extending hands," provided a unique foundation for Gregory J. Rummo to build a program to fulfill these goals and effectively reach students with the gospel. This book details the results of research into how he accomplished this. Through faith integration in the classroom and laboratory, practicing radical hospitality in his school office, and offering missional opportunities through short-term mission trips to the developing world, Rummo has had countless occasions to help students mature in their faith. The methods offered here, although designed to reach students in STEM classes, can provide a template to any professor looking to effectively reach students in any discipline with the gospel.
