- [00:00:15.200]Hi, my name is Audrey Kruen
- [00:00:16.617]and I am a junior accounting major
- [00:00:18.710]from Hull, Iowa.
- [00:00:20.470]Growing up, my family attended church every week.
- [00:00:23.230]I was from a very small town where most
- [00:00:25.300]of my classmates share the same religious beliefs as me.
- [00:00:28.870]Coming to college,
- [00:00:29.720]I knew that my faith would be challenged,
- [00:00:31.870]but I also knew that it would be good for me
- [00:00:33.590]to experience new perspectives
- [00:00:35.190]and that in the end it would make my faith even stronger.
- [00:00:38.710]As soon as I came to Lincoln
- [00:00:39.660]I knew that I wanted to get involved
- [00:00:41.160]in local church in a University fellowship group.
- [00:00:43.780]But during my first few semesters of college
- [00:00:45.990]I struggled to find one that felt like the right fit.
- [00:00:49.070]I actually ended up going through a time
- [00:00:50.730]where I just kind of read the Bible on my own
- [00:00:52.640]and decided to go at it alone.
- [00:00:54.540]However, I quickly realized
- [00:00:56.150]that this wasn't sustaining me spiritually
- [00:00:58.270]and I resumed my search for a church home.
- [00:01:01.320]Last fall, I reached out to a girl in one of my classes
- [00:01:04.330]that I knew was involved in Bible study,
- [00:01:06.240]and she invited me to attend
- [00:01:07.620]her Wednesday night Bible study.
- [00:01:09.530]Since then I have attended every single week
- [00:01:11.620]as well as a Thursday night University fellowship group.
- [00:01:14.570]Finally, by the end of my sophomore year,
- [00:01:16.560]I feel as though I've truly found my home
- [00:01:18.300]amongst fellow believers.
- [00:01:20.370]Being a part of a religious organization has grown my faith
- [00:01:23.080]and helped me develop relationships with other believers.
- [00:01:25.800]I value all of the friendships I have with people
- [00:01:27.870]who don't share my religious beliefs,
- [00:01:30.010]but it's also been super helpful to have people
- [00:01:32.670]with shared faith and values that I can lean on.
- [00:01:35.550]As I continue to attend UNL,
- [00:01:37.360]I know I will continue to be tested
- [00:01:39.400]but I go forward in confidence
- [00:01:41.340]knowing that I have a strong support system to lean on
- [00:01:43.640]when I'm struggling.
- [00:01:45.240]I also want to mention that there are many different kinds
- [00:01:47.470]of religious and spiritual organizations here at UNL.
- [00:01:50.350]No matter what beliefs you hold,
- [00:01:51.870]it's possible for you to find community
- [00:01:53.740]to support you here at UNL.
