Upon graduation from high school, the college experience for me meant one thing and one thing only--playing soccer. I was not concerned with my academic well being at all. So during my college visits, I went straight to the soccer coach and the athletic director. However, when I met the actual players, I found myself in situations I was not comfortable with. Once I found out about the lifestyles and party habits of the players at the other secular schools, I really had to reevaluate my life. I was very troubled and began to ask “is this where God really wants me to be?”

After discussing my concerns and dismay with the High School Youth Minister at my church, he suggested I visit Cincinnati Christian University from which he had graduated. My initial plan was to major in Criminal Justice. Upon my visit I learned this would be possible through CCU within the confines of their Articulation Agreement with the University of Cincinnati. God was beginning to show me his plan for Jason. I fell in love with the campus and the opportunities CCU could provide: playing soccer at a high level of competition and getting a degree in Criminal Justice while living in a Christian environment with Jesus Christ at the center of everything.

Now, that I am here, my walk with Christ has grown immensely and I would not trade that for all the [CCU] Regional banners, National tournament appearances, and All-American honors for anything. CCU has changed my life. I am now studying to be a youth minister. I am currently a high school youth minister intern at Southern Acres Christian Church in Lexington, KY. I sincerely believe my education and experiences that CCU is giving me will truly make it possible for me to be a leader and shape the world.
