This is Exploring College Ministry

After ministering to college students for 8 years, I've spent the last 11 years trying to help push our whole field forward. This has all meant, among other things, a yearlong road trip, an e-book (Reaching the Campus Tribes), exploring 350+ campuses, consulting, writing, speaking, and more. I love any opportunity to serve college ministers or others who want to reach college students better.

another easter note on the wealth at veritas forum

Benson Hines March 23, 2017 audio & video / current events / for evangelismLeave a comment

As Easter approaches and you make your corresponding plans, I just wanted to remind you of something that should encourage your students – and give them something to pass on to classmates. If you haven’t browsed over at the Veritas Forum page recently, I encourage you to do so. They’re …

students headed for “vocational ministry”?

Benson Hines February 18, 2016 student opportunitiesLeave a comment

As you may or may not have noticed, I’m really slow to endorse, well, anything. I need to be reasonably assured that a book, conference, etc., would be valuable before I’ll urge you to invest in it. I’m all the more careful about endorsing anything connected to myself. But after …

book(s) recommendation: WHH

Benson Hines October 28, 2015 books / for serviceLeave a comment

This is going to sound like an ad or some sort of “paid-for review.” I promise, it’s not. I’m just recommending a book (books) I think are phenomenal. In my role at my church, there’s one book – now a bit of a series – that we recommend far more …

the ultimate missions brochure (a.k.a. lift up your eyes)

Benson Hines September 22, 2014 articles & posts / college ministry as missionsLeave a comment

Every once in awhile, it’s simply encouraging the realize the magnificence of our opportunity in college ministry. And there’s a sort of “meta-metaphor” when you start talking about the college campuses themselves – not only are their breadth and beauty analogous to the enormity and impact of the task, but they …

your campus is stunning, too

Benson Hines December 2, 2013 articles & posts / campus integration / college ministersOne Comment

I ran into a list of “10 Uniquely Stunning Campuses.” It seems to me the Buzzfeed user-author might have simply slapped down some interesting campus pictures to make a post, but the pictures themselves are quite cool. Here’s the post. But maybe that makes a good point: There are places …

personality retreat & other options (a fridea)

Benson Hines November 9, 2012 books / campus integration / frideas / student characteristics / teaching topicsOne Comment

As part of my seminar on Student Leadership yesterday, I discussed ways to raise up leaders from within (or even outside) our campus ministries. And one little nugget makes a handy Fridea for this week: Build a retreat, a weekend, or a series of gatherings around helping students find their …

Benson Hines October 24, 2012 articles & posts / college ministersLeave a comment

In case you’re unaware, Guy Chmieleski’s Faith on Campus blog is hosting another blogathon this week, this time on a definitely under-disucussed issue in campus ministry: Self-Leadership! Today is Day 2 of 3, so be sure to check out the posts already up (and ask questions or make comments)… and …

these books are written for college ministry (they just don’t know it)

Benson Hines September 19, 2012 books / college ministersLeave a comment

Yesterday, I posted about the kinds of books college ministers need more of. But another theme I’ve always trumpeted is learning about our trade from books that aren’t specifically written for our field. Taken from a post I wrote while on the yearlong research trip, below you’ll find many of …

Benson Hines August 9, 2012 articles & postsOne Comment

It’s the third day of the Back-to-School Blogathon over at Faith on Campus, and this is definitely worth checking out today (if you haven’t already). As always, there’s a good collection of articles from people around our world; much of it is good review to think about as we head …

for the new year: hospitality for everybody

Benson Hines August 3, 2012 articles & posts / assessment & strengthLeave a comment

One of the most important discussions we can have with our staff members, volunteers, and student leaders centers around the hospitality of our ministry. I don’t just mean how we treat first-timers (though that’s a big part), or simply how our ministry presents itself in the first three weeks of …
