    Help! How Do I Handle Loss After Graduation? (E213)

    A few months after graduation, Justice received a heartbreaking message from an old classmate: Paul, his friend from a previous school, had passed away unexpectedly. Justice had endured a significant amount of loss over the past few years, but this experience was different. It was his first time processing the death of a friend or family member without his InterVarsity chapter next to him. Justice joins this week to share his experiences navigating grief and loss after graduation. And whether you’ve suffered the death of a loved one, or you’re experiencing the grief that comes from saying goodbye to your InterVarsity chapter and the college experience, Justice has a few meaningful insights to help you process.

    Help! How Do I Adjust to A New Town? (E212)

    How do I adjust to living in a new town? Many grads face this challenge at some point. The time comes to pack the car, relocate, and get settled in a brand new place. But once you arrive, how do you meet people? Discover your favorite coffee shop? Find the quickest route to the grocery store? Most importantly, how long before it starts to feel like home? This week, we’re joined by Josephine, an InterVarsity alumna who’s been living in a new town for 10 months but still doesn’t feel at home. Jon and Josephine discuss strategies for getting settled, exploring her surroundings, and taking steps toward making new friends.  RELATED EPISODES Where Should I Live?

    Help! Where Does God Want Me to Work? (E211)

    How do I know which job God wants me to take after I graduate?  It’s a big question and it can weigh on us sometimes. But is it possible that the decision isn’t as complex as we might think? We’re continuing our “HELP!” series this week with Tyler, an InterVarsity senior who’s feeling stuck picking a job after graduation. He’s praying, he’s researching, he’s asking trusted friends. But he’s still not sure which job is the right job. Do you know how Tyler feels? Listen in as Jon and Tyler discuss some helpful next steps for making this big decision. We think you’ll walk away with some next steps, too. RELATED EPISODE(S) Where Does God Want Me to Go?

    Help! How Do I Grow in My Faith Without My Chapter? (E210)

    Your faith has grown so much during your time on campus with InterVarsity. How do you keep the momentum after graduation? Join us as we kick off our new series, “Help!” where we’re chatting with InterVarsity seniors and recent grads about some of their biggest fears and hangups about life after graduation. As they share their real-life concerns and workshop potential solutions with Jon, you will experience two things: realizing you’re not alone in feeling some anxiety about life after graduation and getting some practical tools for navigating common post-graduation scenarios. Helping us get started is Molly, a soon-to-be college grad from UW-Steven’s Point. Molly is wondering how she’s supposed to keep growing in her faith after graduation when she doesn’t have her InterVarsity chapter right next to her. It's a common concern and by the end of the conversation, Molly (and you) will have some practical steps for continued faith development.  WANT TO CHAT WITH JON ABOUT A CHALLENGE IN LIFE AFTER GRADUATION?

    Evangelism When... My Friend is an Atheist (E209)

    How do I share the Gospel with my atheist friend? We’re wrapping up our “Evangelism when…” series with InterVarsity Alumna and current Campus Staff Minister, Lacey Hansen. And Lacey’s going to share her own story of evangelism with a friend who has communicated no real interest in changing her mind about Jesus or Christianity. And yet, just by being a thoughtful friend over the years and making contextualized invitations, Lacey has seen her friend take meaningful steps in curiosity and openness. Lacey’s going to provide some practical tools for our evangelism toolkit and help us continue to simply be thoughtful friends who love Jesus. If you’ve been wondering about how to share your faith with an atheist friend after graduation, this episode is for you.  RELATED EPISODES Evangelism When...

    Evangelism When... I'm New in Town (E208)

    How am I supposed to talk about Jesus in a new town where I don’t know anyone? We’re continuing our "Evangelism When…" series this week. Getting used to a new place can be tough. Learning where the best coffee shops are, finding the quickest route to work, testing out new community. And speaking of community, how do we share the Gospel when we don't know anyone yet? This week, we're wrapping our minds around how to develop relationships in new spaces so we can build trust and share the Gospel. AND we're learning how to be ready to share even if we haven’t developed that kind of bond with someone yet. RELATED EPISODE(S) Evangelism When...

    Evangelism When... My Neighbor Practices a Different Faith (E207)

    How do I share Jesus with someone who practices a different faith? We’re continuing our “Evangelism when…” series this week with a conversation about navigating the complexities of evangelism with a friend who’s invested in a faith practice other than Christianity. Turns out, it has a lot more to do with connecting and far less with convincing. (Pro tip… we’re learning that’s the case in most scenarios.) We’re joined by Eva Glick, Associate Director with InterVarsity’s International Student ministry department. Eva is passionate about students and alumni like you developing meaningful relationships with people from different countries, cultures, and faith backgrounds. And Eva is going to help us prepare for representing Jesus well with our friends and neighbors who practice another faith. RELATED EPISODE(S) Evangelism When...

    Evangelism When... I'm Talking to a Stranger (E206)

    How would you respond if the Holy Spirit randomly prompted you to share the Gospel with someone you don’t know? Most of us would feel more than a little nervous. And that’s how April felt when she was told to invite Marcia, the barista at her local coffee shop, to church. The catch… they’d only interacted two times before. And neither interaction went well. Which is why Marcia’s response to the interaction was so unexpected. We’re continuing our evangelism series this week. And InterVarsity alumna and veteran InterVarsity staff, April Foat, joins to help us prepare for “Evangelism when… I’m talking to a stranger.” RELATED EPISODE Evangelism When… I’m at Work (E205) - Apple, Spotify, YouTubeSTAY IN TOUCH Socials: @afterivpodVisit our Website ★ Support this podcast ★
