All-Stars: Ideas for Your Chapter with Kayla and Mercedes

All-Stars: Ideas for Your Chapter with Kayla and Mercedes

Author: Orthodox Christian Fellowship, and Ancient Faith Ministries January 11, 2018 Duration: 0:00
This year, the All-Stars series is highlighting students from all over North America—students from each of OCF's nine regions. For the Northwest regional feature, Tasya speaks with the co-presidents of Boise State University's OCF chapter: Mercedes Huse and Kayla Munkres. Mercedes and Kayla explain how they share the work of the Chapter President, give advice to OCF students in leadership positions in their chapter, and share some of their favourite chapter meeting activities.

Navigating university life while deepening your faith is a unique journey, and the OCF Campus Ministry Podcast exists as a companion for that path. Created by Orthodox Christian Fellowship in partnership with Ancient Faith Ministries, this series speaks directly to the experiences of college students and young adults. You’ll hear conversations that tackle real questions about identity, community, and spiritual practice within the Orthodox Christian tradition, all set against the backdrop of academic and social life. The discussions are grounded, offering practical wisdom for integrating ancient faith into modern campus realities. This isn’t about abstract theology alone; it’s about living out beliefs in dorm rooms, lecture halls, and everyday relationships. Each episode brings voices from campus ministry leaders, chaplains, and students themselves, sharing stories of doubt, discovery, and growth. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a thoughtful dialogue where faith meets the formative challenges and opportunities of young adulthood. It provides a space for reflection and connection, reinforcing that you’re not navigating these years alone. Whether you’re actively involved in a campus fellowship or exploring spirituality from a distance, the content meets you where you are, fostering a sense of fellowship through the audio medium.
