Being Christian at Yale
Nov 11, 2018 | by Christian Olivier TC '20
What does it mean to be a Christian at Yale?
Being a Christian at Yale means always relying on God’s grace and mercy to speak thoughtfully, act graciously, think critically, and love deeply, never losing sight of God’s plan for my life.
Being Christian at Yale, though, seems to not always align with what being a Christian should be.
Being Christian at Yale should be relying on God to guide every aspect of my life- you know, except those pesky post-grad plans. “I have to secure the bag, Jesus. You get it, right?”
