We are approaching the week where we gather with friends and family to eat a huge meal while talking about all the things we are thankful for. In honor of this, Bethany Williams, Senior Associate Director of Student Health and Wellness, spoke with guest host Abi Broda about what she has learned on this topic. While she is young, she has some great wisdom and examples on how to include this in our lives throughout the rest of the year.

We all struggle with comparison, imposter syndrome, and feeling the need to appear certain ways for others. It's a normal human reaction to desire for others to see the best part of us. On today's episode, Dr. Keith R. Anderson had an in-depth conversation with Dr. Troy Temple, Dean of the School of Divinity and Professor of Theology and Family Ministries, about pressures of looking "Christian-like" verses having a true relationship with God. 

Christine Kennedy, COO & Executive Vice President of the Lynchburg Business Alliance, shares some amazing life experiences and wisdom when it comes to finding a mentor and seeking good leadership in conversation with host Dr. Keith R.

In today's episode Dr. Melody Harper, Program Director for Global Studies, shares with Dr. Keith R. Anderson the importance of cultural intelligence.  This is a topic that is beneficial no matter where you are in life - school, work, or on the mission field.

Today on the podcast Dr. Keith R. Anderson talks with Bethany Williams, Natalie Peyton, and Abi Broda of Student Health and Wellness about social media. How they recommend using it, how we should limit ourselves, and if it really is that evil.

Today’s podcast is part 4 of the series on Relationship Goals and we are focusing on Family. This is a huge part of social wellness. Students are always wanting to know how to best transition from childhood into adulthood. Dr. Keith R. Anderson invited Tamatha Anthony, Assistant Director of Parent and Family Connections, to have a conversion about this. Tamatha offers a unique perspective on this topic and challenges students to see situations from the parent’s perspective and with a Biblical worldview. 

Last season, we started a series on relationship goals and the biggest feedback we got was for an episode on singleness. This episode is an answer to just that. Dr. Keith R. Anderson met with 3 Liberty University graduates turned employees to discuss singleness. Tim Player works in Internal Audit, Sheldon Farrington works with Office of Residence Life, and Abi Broda works with Dr. Keith R. Anderson for the department of Student Health and Wellness. One guest is living life to its fullest while single, one is committed to a life of singleness, and the third just recently got married. With these different perspectives, this episode is sure to be filled with some nuggets of wisdom for you! 

We are excited to have Lisa Wycoff on the podcast today talking about making the most of your time as a student. She works with Academic Advising in CASAS to help students figure out their future. We selected her because she works with undecided students, so we knew she would have many nuggets of wisdom to share with any and everybody. If you are undecided in your major, want to add a minor, or just want to explore more in your education - give today's episode a listen!

In this episode, Dr. Keith R. Anderson sat down with some local pastors to discuss the spiritual needs of college students.
