Lectureship gives the chance for students to speak in front of their peers. Carrie Stewart, senior exercise science major, is one of the students participating in this event.<\/p>\n
Carrie Stewart plans to attend graduate school for physical science after graduating in May. She said she looks forward to this opportunity to speak, to help encourage and to remind people of their identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not saying anything that I think is new to anyone but I hope I say the things in such a way that maybe they think about it deeper, or more just to remind people of their true purpose in life and who they are,\u201d Carrie Stewart said.<\/p>\n
Carrie Stewart\u2019s lecture is going along with this year\u2019s Lectureship theme, \u201cRighteousness from God\u201d and the message of Romans.<\/p>\n
\u201cRomans 6:12-14, it\u2019s a passage that talks about letting God reign in your life and using our bodies as instruments for his righteousness and living by his grace,\u201d Carrie Stewart said.<\/p>\n
Carrie Stewart also said she\u2019s been encouraged throughout the process of being nominated and preparing for the lecture.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone has been super encouraging. My dad is a preacher, he has encouraged and helped me through this process. I have received a lot of encouragement and support from my parents, my friends and my faculty for even nominating me,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n
Debbie Stewart, Carrie Stewart\u2019s mother, reiterated how hard her daughter has worked and how she lives out the topic she will be discussing.<\/p>\n
\u201cGod has given Carrie many gifts and abilities, and Carrie works hard to use those gifts and abilities for his glory,\u201d Debbie Stewart said. \u201cI think that will make her a good speaker for Lectureship because it is so easy for her to share her faith. It is an honor, and I\u2019m really proud of her for taking it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Students participation in Lectureship is meant to help them mentor their peers and hopefully be more relatable in the messages they are discussing, according to Dr. Anessa Westbrook, Bible professor and Lectureship board member.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it is good for students to be able to hear from students,\u201d Westbrook said. \u201cIt is good also for the presenter to to get a chance to be able to share their story, thoughts, and their message.\u201d<\/p>\n
Westbrook also discussed the hard work and dedication that goes in to these students\u2019 lectures. Each student lecturer has to prepare a 45 minute lesson and be able to present their material in a way that is relatable to the student body.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Carrie\u2019s disposition is good, respected and appreciated by her peers,\u201d Westbrook said. \u201cShe is also the type of person that is able to dig in and do the research and preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stewart will be speaking on Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 4 p.m. in McInteer 150 about instruments of righteousness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
