Q&A Q&A with NOAH

BRANDT, '24

Noah is a senior from Bowling Green, Kentucky, pursuing a double major in business administration and Christian ministries.

How are you putting your Christian faith into action on campus or in your community?

On Cumberlands' campus, I minister to my lacrosse teammates and the residents in Mahan Hall, where I am an RA, I evangelize on campus with my friends from time to time, and I disciple some guys on campus and just walk through life with them and try to train them up in Christ. Additionally, through Immanuel Baptist Church, I am a lifegroup coach, overseeing and training people lifegroup/Bible study leaders, and serving in the church building on Sundays in different facets.

Why did you choose to serve in those ways?

God has given me these areas of life, and I know I need to be faithful with a little before I can be faithful with a lot. I also just really love my church and the people on campus I get to interact with, and I want to share the Gospel with as many people as I can.

How has God transformed you through your experiences?

There is one common theme: I am growing closer to God. As I do my best to lead other people or show them the Gospel, I am challenged by others to get out of my comfort zone. I've grown closer to the Lord by having to lean on Him when I don’t know what to do.

Why do you think it's important for college students to put their faith into action?

College is one of the most formative times of our lives. If you haven’t started already putting your faith into action, then you need to do it now. When we “put our faith into action,” we are living out the Great Commission and being obedient to God and what He would have us do. He's our Creator and Savior, and He's well worth our obedience. We will also experience personal growth when we do this. To put it bluntly, it's a win-win.
