We all know what Milligan College’s mission statement says because it has been pounded into our heads since we arrived on campus our freshmen year. “As a Christian liberal arts college, Milligan College seeks to honor God by educating men and women to be servant-leaders.”

While we have heard this phrase time and time again, I don’t think that we have had the chance in classes to live out that statement. We are so bogged down with reading chapters, writing papers and studying for tests that we do not have time to even think about being servant-leaders.

Enter Christ and Culture.

Christ and Culture has opened my eyes in so many ways. It has challenged what I believe and given me a different outlook on life. It has truly taught me what it means to be a servant-leader. I mainly enjoy the class because we have the chance to encounter a professor so giving and caring as Dr. Kenneson.

We recently were assigned a stewardship assignment. We were each given an envelope with a note and $20 inside. We were entrusted with the money to be a steward in trying to fulfill God’s greatest desire: to mend the universe. How often are we challenged in classes to actually live our lives out as servants? Most classes are just lectures and tests, but Christ and Culture challenges us to have a Christ-like attitude, to see the world through Christ's eyes.

We are challenged spiritually through an amazing professor who we can tell has invested his time and money into our class. He wants us to dig deeper into our lives. He wants us to be better listeners, stewards, servants and workers in the world. He wants us to be different from the world’s standards.

It is hard to find a college that has professors who sacrifice time and money to see their students grow as individuals. It’s very rare to find a professor like Dr. Kenneson. Thank you, Dr. Kenneson for investing your time in us, the seniors. Thank you for challenging us and giving us the opportunities through this class to be servant-leaders.
