Hi, I'm Shane Morris. Thanks for listening to the Breakpoint podcast. Today we want to talk about what seriously is one of the premier Christian worldview learning programs in the world, the Colson Fellows program. And I'm hoping by the end of this podcast, you yourself will consider applying. As you're about to hear from Colson Fellow staff members and from folks who've gone through the program, the Colson Fellows is a life and faith changing program. You'll learn

from great Christian worldview thinkers, and most importantly, over the course of 10 months,

you'll be mentored and guided as you make a specific plan for applying what you've learned

in the real world, in practical ways. The program is affordable.

It requires no travel. And best of all, you'll be learning online and in real time with other

Colson Fellows in your area. So let's get started. Here's Dr. Bill Brown, Colson Center's senior

fellow and longtime leader in the Colson Fellows, introducing the program and its grand vision.

The Colson Fellows program is for anybody who has a desire to want to serve Christ in a meaningful

way in the culture around them. Sometimes people get a little nervous with what they find

on the internet, what they see in the news, and they get a little overwhelmed,

and they're thinking, what can I do?

And they feel that they're not equipped

to be able to do just that.

And that's what the Colson Fellows program is really all about.

We're looking for mature Christians,

or growing Christians who have a desire

to make a difference in the world for Christ.

And the program is 10 months.

It's a program where you're reading a book, so a month, and you're having some daily readings as well.

And the idea is all this comes together as you join us on webinars and as you are diving into the Bible every day as well as reading these books,

you're going to find God shaping your heart and your mind in ways that you never dreamed of before.

The Colson-Villis program has a number of elements, all of them very important.
