Okay, let’s hear from Jordan, an alumna who graduated with a double major in Biblical studies and community development and is now a family nurse practitioner. An education at The Institute for G.O.D. develops character and an identity rooted in God’s Word to take into any profession and make a lasting impact in the world. Tell us more, Jordan.

– Thanks, Alex. I’m a proud graduate of The Institute for G.O.D. I’m also a nurse practitioner at a leading integrative clinic in Nashville and a missionary in East Africa. I wanted to share how my decision to prioritize studying the Bible has made me who I am today. I’ve always wanted to know God and be used by Him, and after spending time in Latin America, I knew I was called to serve the poor through healthcare, but I didn’t know how to begin. I knew I could go to nursing school, but I wanted to be more than just a nurse. I heard President Garner speak about a Biblical education, saying it’s less about what you do and more about who you become. He said, “Becoming someone in Christ is a key to doing world changing activity in our future fields of work.” That resonated with me because I wanted to be someone grounded in my faith and make a difference in the world through what I do. With that, I found myself at The Institute for G.O.D. where I studied the Bible and community development. Through lectures, workshops, worship, relationships and international mission trips, I grew in my knowledge of the Bible and understanding of what God wants to do in the world. I’m now a nurse practitioner and missionary, and I must say I’m only able to do what I do because of the education and skills I gained at The Institute and more so because of the person I’ve become, making a global impact as a result of learning God’s Word just as I’ve always prayed. And one more thing I’m really excited about, I now get to mentor current Institute students who have a heart for healthcare. We even get to go to Africa together. , Alex.

– , Jordan. The incorporation of professional alumni into the mentorship program here is a really great feature of the school. It’s wonderful that you get to work with students and even go to Africa together to serve people through healthcare. What an experience. Thanks, Jordan.
