Don't Just Survive

Don't Just Survive: A College Student's Guide to Thriving for the Kingdom Too many Christian students arrive on campus with one goal: make it through with their faith intact. Their parents are holding their breath. They're keeping their heads down. But what if surviving was never the point? With eighteen years of campus ministry experience, Justin Raulston has heard the "just survive" mindset more times than he can count — and he's written this book to challenge it head-on. American college campuses are among the most unreached places in the world, with only 8–12 percent of students identifying as followers of Jesus. Students like you aren't meant to hide from that reality. You're meant to change it. Don't Just Survive is a practical, story-driven guide for college students who want to do more than endure four years — students who want to grow deeper in their faith, find life giving community, and make a genuine Kingdom difference on their campus. Through real student stories, biblical grounding, and actionable guidance on rhythms, discipleship, community, and navigating hard times, this book will help you see that God didn't place you on your campus just to get through it. He placed you there for a reason. 129 pages Paperback ISBN 978-0-89900-305-4
