In our sixth episode, we sit down with Riley Davis, Cru staff member at UT Knoxville and aspiring basketball beat writer, to talk sports, the up-and-down history of college ministry and the future of faith on college campuses. At first, we discuss Riley's Amateur Hour Hoops sports blog (02:01), and how he and his wife, Natalie, met and joined Cru staff before finding themselves at UT Knoxville to start the first Greek-student-focused ministry there (04:00). After the break, we start by discussing the "blind spots" of traditional campus ministries (14:00). Then, we talk about the Church's reactive approach toward social issues like racial discrimination and the immigration debate (18:45) before finally wondering aloud how both the Church and campus ministries can shift their focus and become better at caring for other groups of people in a way that affirms their God-given value and worth (24:00).
