My guests today are Harry Kunze and Dan DuPee. These men have a long-standing board relationship with the Coalition for Christian Outreach. Dan is a former President of the CCO and most recently served as Interim President. Harry has a longstanding board relationship. I've gotten to know these two men over the past year as our firm has helped them with their President search. And it was through this work with the CCO that I thought their story of board development and revitalization was something worth passing on to the next generation of nonprofit leaders.

The Evolution of Higher Education & Faith But today the very mention of having faith in God is something that is often considered equivalent to being a neanderthal. A Christian Perspective on Higher Education Many of the nation's most prestigious institutions actually began as theological establishments. However, today we see a much different picture. So how can we as parents set our children up for not only academic success, but spiritual growth as they enter the college-bound years? Is there a way to prepare them to enter an environment that may not be receptive, and may even be hostile to their faith? Should we prepare our kids to stand their ground amidst a hostile environment that challenges their faith to its core? Do we even consent to send our kids to such an environment? How do we guide our children to making a decision that will strengthen rather than hinder their faith? Discussing the Hostile Environment of Colleges & Universities with Dan Dupee Dan Dupee is President Emeritus of the Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO). He served as President and CEO of the CCO from 1999-2015, and as Chairman of the Board from 2016-2020. Dan is also the author of It's Not Too Late: The Essential Part You Play in Shaping Your Teen's Faith, which was published in 2016 by Baker Books. Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO) calls college students to serve Jesus Christ with their entire lives. They share the Gospel with students and develop passionate disciples of Jesus Christ. They serve together with the church and invite students into the lives of local congregations. They give students a vision for serving Jesus Christ in their studies, jobs, communities, and families.

Dan Dupee, Coalition for Christian Outreach, explains how your home is the greatest place for growing a child’s trust in God.
Dan Dupee was a young man raised in church, but he, like so many others, found himself in college and in need of a deeper relationship with God. That happened when he was invited to a conference, where he had a life changing encounter with Jesus. Now, he is President Emeritus of the very organization behind that original conference and has for years been involved in seeing college students come to know the Lord and be discipled in the faith. His gentle and loving heart is quickly evident in this interview.
The Christian Perspective of College Yet many of these prestigious universities such as Harvard, Yale, and others actually began as Christian theological institutions. As Christian parents then, how should we be preparing our kids to deal with an academic environment that might actually be hostile to their faith? How can we better prepare our kids to stand their ground amidst this growing hostility? Should we even consider sending our kids to a college or university that might draw our kids away from God? It's no secret that for quite some time now there's been a liberal bent in much of higher education. But, it seems that in recent times there's actually become a seething resentment, perhaps even hate, for anything to do with faith in God. Another thing that so many of these academics don't always have, is the ability or the wisdom to come to terms with the limits of their own finite knowledge. That's a huge and arrogant mistake. So, when they pass-on their emotionally-charged leftist rhetoric to their young and impressionable students, things don't always end well. Especially for those students who graduate "con-sum-lager" in Bolivian Snipe-hunt theory and then wonder why no one's hiring. So, these kids have the time to brood down that warped road of bias and hostility, anger, resentment, jealousy, and misery that their leftist professors have gone down and helped pave for them. But, that's exactly how and when so many of our "educational" institutions embolden and equip more entitled "adult" spoiled brats to try to break our stuff or take our stuff away from us; including our faith. Particularly our Christian faith. Discussing the Changes in Higher Education with Dan Dupee Dan Dupee is President Emeritus of the Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO).
