Guys Are From Mars, Girls Are From Venus (Ray Bohlin) - This presentation explores the differences between men and women and how these difference are addressed in Scripture.

The Christian Mind (Don Closson) - Why should I care how I think? How should I think? How would thinking better help me in school as well as in my walk with the Lord? Is it a lot of work to think "Christianly"? What do I need to do to keep from being persuaded by the world's propaganda? This lecture provides some answers and some suggestions.

Campus Christianity: How Should We Live? (Ray Bohlin) - Four principles for an effective Christian testimony inside and outside the classroom are addressed, illustrated with life-lessons learned from campus experience.
