We were grateful to Kristin Collier for joining us this week. With grace and candor, Kristin shared her journey of faith and the changes that came with her conversion to Christianity, keeping students engaged long after lunch had ended.

Pete Dahlem joined us for Friday lunch. Pete came to Michigan as an atheist with the goal of graduating and becoming wealthy. But during his freshman year, his unbelief began to crumble, eventually leading to his conversion to Christianity with a new set of desires and goals. Pete also shared the beauties, benefits, and challenges of worshiping in a multicultural church.

Alison Vander Roest, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering joined us for lunch this week. She shared her academic journey with students and spoke about the intersection of faith and science.

Abdu Murray, the noted apologist and U-M alumnus, shared his faith journey and encouraged students on how they can have productive conversations about faith. Students also appreciated the chance to ask honest questions and hear Abdu’s thoughtful answers.
