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
