Is a Christian college worth the sacrifice? Many parents hold a strong conviction for Christian education through high school, then waver when the college decision arrives. In this episode, Josh and Jen talk with Dr. Corbin Hoornbeek, president of University of Northwestern in St. Paul, about the purpose of higher education and how to choose a school with the end in mind.

Dr. Hoornbeek explains why education is the formation of the whole person, not only career preparation, and why the worldview behind the teaching sets the trajectory of a young adult’s life. He gives parents direct questions to ask on a campus visit, including whether a school requires its faculty to hold to its statement of faith and whether it is financially stable.

You will also hear three practical ways to lower the cost: dual enrollment credits in high school, the gap between sticker price and real price, and scholarships most families never ask about. If you are helping a son or daughter decide what comes after graduation, this conversation offers clarity and encouragement.
