MTP 28: Bill Fisk on wrestling with God about sharing his faith with students and responding to hostility.

August 29, 2024 • Shane Hartley • Episode 28

In this episode of Meet the Prof, we dive deep into the inspiring journey of Dr. Bill Fisk, Professor Emeritus in Teacher Education at Clemson University, who has seen God’s hand at work in his life and career. Bill candidly discusses his struggle with perfectionism and how God used a near-divorce experience to lead him to Christ. Reflecting on the influence of a college soccer teammate, Bill highlights how living a life that "smells sweet" as a Christian can have a lasting impact, even if the results aren’t immediate.

Bill offers practical advice for educators who see their work as a ministry, encouraging them to know their rights and be bold yet loving in expressing their faith. He shares the story of how he overcame his fear of openly sharing his faith with students, offering a powerful lesson on the importance of obedience to God, even when it feels risky.

Whether you're a college student, professor, or anyone looking to integrate faith into everyday life, this episode provides both encouragement and practical wisdom.
