In this episode I continue my sporadic series on various campus ministries. I am joined by Charles Askew and Caysie Ashton, campus ministers with Reformed University Fellowship (RUF). Charles and Caysie bring their unique perspectives to help us better understand the ministry of RUF and whether it might be right for you.

In this podcast we discuss:

What “Reformed” means
How Casey and Chuck got involved in RUF
How RUF got started
The core mission of RUF
How to find a RUF chapter
What to expect at a RUF chapter
How chapters differ campus-to-campus
What is required to be involved in RUF
What makes RUF distinct from other campus ministries
Why RUF doesn’t have a curriculum that students go through
How RUF helps students build deep relationships
RUF’s weekly activities for students
RUF’s strengths and weaknesses
Why students should look into joining a RUF chapter
The importance of just showing up
Why we shouldn’t fear the “secular” university
