"I am learning that the Veritas Forum is about real life. It starts from a desire to reconcile faith and academics—a task that we are convinced is highly effective when given its ample space—but soon we realize that this desire is motivated by an even deeper desire: that our lives make sense as whole pictures. I now realize that anything I learn, academic or otherwise, fits into the Veritas picture of what our life in Christ looks like."
