My Baccalaureate Address: A Love Letter to Berry and Jesus

I had the honor of delivering the baccalaureate address to this year's graduates of Berry College. I was grateful for the kind words of affirmation I received afterward. One colleague called it "a love letter to Berry and Jesus." That description really touched me. Here's how AI describes it in a sentence: "A deeply personal, reflective, and surprisingly joyful baccalaureate address—blending life story, faith, doubt, humor, and wisdom—centered on one simple call: keep your eyes on Jesus." I'm not sure how well a formal address translates into a podcast episode, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed giving it.
Note: Unfortunately, there is a short glitch in the recording near the end of the address when I am talking about my interaction with Vice President Tom Carver about the religious tension on campus at the time, but I think you'll get the gist.
