Meet The Prof, with Shane & Spence
Shane Hartley and Spence Hackney receive questions from college students and ask them to Christian professors in a fun, insightful interview format.
Our mission: to encourage Christ-centered conversations on the college campus.
We hope these interviews will help college students, inspire professors, and encourage parents and grandparents of college students.
