Tenure Lecture: Dr. Shari Jurgens

Join us for the tenure lecture of Dr. Shari Jurgens.  Tenure lectures are a celebration of the mature Christian scholarship of our faculty colleagues. When we celebrate these moments, we mark and extend our commitment to our core identity and mission as a College – and we rejoice at the gifted teacher-scholars in our midst!

It Is Well With my Soul (and Body and Mind)

Wellness is an important aspect of life, it is important for everyone and it is something that is required of us by God. As Christians, we are held to a higher standard (and given greater opportunity) of wellness which involves peace, wholeness and holistic wellness. This lecture will connect the song “When Peace Like a River” with the holistic view of wellness and applications will be made for a Christian perspective on wellness.
