Kingdom Students makes the very important point that all students—not just those who are studying to be pastors or missionaries—should see their time in school as preparation for a lifetime of service in God’s kingdom. If Jesus’s lordship is as wide as creation, it is as wide as culture. And if it is as wide as culture, it is as wide as the whole curriculum at a given school or college. Highly recommended.

God is raising up a generation of college students who are seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness as they pursue their education. This book, written by my friends Cory Barnes and Norris Grubbs, is exactly the sort of resource those students need to begin their college journey on the right track. I’m excited to see how the Lord uses this book in the lives of kingdom students.

I love how this book, from the very beginning, emphasizes the need for students to be kingdom focused. Education isn’t just about learning or job placement; it’s about preparing individuals to serve God and his people. Christianity is no respecter of intellect—the brilliant and the simple are called to the kingdom, and they enter on equal footing. I’m very thankful for this book, and it’s my desire and hope to see every student read this and apply it in their lives. Now has to be the time we, youth workers, prepare our students for a life of loving God and serving his people.
