Join Our Academic Network
Since 2012, we have built a network of over 300 Christian professors at colleges and universities across the country and world. The network exists to foster meaningful relationships between faculty and encourage intellectual inquiry around topics of faith, politics, economics, and society. The professors in our network are also essential partners in our efforts to reach and equip students.
Academic Network members receive monthly updates about our programs and resources, as well as occasional mailings of complimentary publications. Some professors also partner closely with the student Executive Council at their school to plan on-campus programming. Select members (especially those who have shown sustained engagement) are invited to an annual, expense-free retreat. We invite you to sign up below to join the network.
Explore Educational Resources
Our initiative has developed a library of resources that have been used by faculty in the classroom, as well as in book groups and other extracurricular programming. Our resources include: 15 short books on various policy topics (with accompanying slide decks, outlines, and sample questions), essays, videos, and full-length documentaries. Complimentary copies of these resources are available to Academic Network members upon request.
Nominate Students
We depend on our faculty partners to identify talented students who might be interested in our programs. Although we have specific nomination processes for several of our student programs, we invite professors to generally recommend students to us at the link below.

Faculty Essays
Patriotism, Race, and the Credit of Love
These are not easy times for Christian patriots—or perhaps for Christians who would like to be patriots, or who simply wonder about patriotism’s moral credentials. The increasing polarization of American politics, which has been growing for some time but became particularly vitriolic following the election of President Donald Trump in 2016, has replaced many of our familiar political debates with a new, central fault line: the significance of the nation and of national culture.

Visions for Christian Public Life
What is the goal of Christian public life? How should Christians engage in societies, political systems, and cultures that are, in some cases, antagonistic to the core principles of our faith? Do we set ourselves apart? Do we assimilate? Do we actively engage and seek to transform?
