Students today aren’t just heading into college—they’re stepping into a cultural moment filled with confusion about truth, identity, and purpose.

The updated edition of Welcome to College addresses critical issues like:

  • Relativism and the loss of truth
  • Identity and the new sexual revolution
  • Doubt, anxiety, and emotional resilience
  • Digital distraction, screens, and AI
  • Progressive Christianity and competing truth claims
