Respond to the following scenario: A college student
comes to you privately and wants to talk. She begins to describe how she came to faith many years ago, but is
now having major trouble living and believing the Christian faith. She’s actually at a point where she’s
considering abandoning the faith. As you begin to ask her more questions, you realize that this crisis of faith for
her is tied suspiciously to the time that she began dating a fellow on campus who is uninterested at all in
Christianity. As you continue to speak with her, she stops you and says: “Look, I’m just here because my mom
told me that I had to talk to a Christian minister before I moved in with my boyfriend, so if we could just hurry
this up, that would be great.” How would you counsel her based on the concepts of the New Temple from this
week’s reading.
