| "Do you feel like you have to choose between science and religion? If so, why?" |
Occasionally we have not been able to meet in our regular meeting place Wednesday nights for Cru this semester. At first we didn't know how to use the time or where to go but it has turned out to be a huge blessing! We used the time to be on various campuses and get students talking about faith and Jesus. The beginning of November we went out with these posters and asked students passing by if they would answer the questions. If they wanted to talk more, than we would dive deeper into conversation with them and the results were incredible. Cru students stepped out in faith to start conversations and others passing by were given an opportunity to think about what they believe is truth.

I think there are two things that always surprise me about doing these types of things. The first is that students want to talk. Religion is often classified as a taboo topic, but ultimately students want to be able to tell their opinions and be heard, no matter what the topic. We aren't trying to force our opinions on them, rather let them be heard and be there to boldly speak truth when the Holy Spirit opens their hearts. The second thing that always surprises me is how apathetic people are towards faith. If heaven and hell are real, isn't understanding faith the most important thing? It's eternity, not a few years, that are at stake. It's not the decision students make that surprises me, but that so many have not even thought about what happens after this life.

| "Who is/was Jesus?" |
Overall, it is really neat to see students share their faith and for there to be a real excitement among them to do it!
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:16-18
