Criswell Thrive Lunches
Criswell Thrive Lunches Podcast
Goals for Criswell Thrive Lunches
- Get to know the staff, faculty, and alumni. Take the opportunity to break bread with them and get to know them on a personal level.
- Familiarize yourself with the programs that Criswell offers and the job opportunities and vocations that they provide.
- Provide a context for presenting a variety of topics that are targeted not only for success here at Criswell but also beyond Criswell.
- Present a personal development plan model (a discipleship model). God has called us to do something, but that is not just going to happen accidentally. Obey God, become equipped, and move forward.
