During the past few years, studies have recorded the growing number of young Christians who are "leaving church and rethinking their faith," as Dave Kinnaman puts in his book, You Lost Me. This departure usually occurs after high school, and many times the blame falls on college campuses for what is perceived as an inhospitable attitude toward Christianity.

While the college experience may contribute, it is too much to say that it causes students to leave their faith. We are quick to blame the environment and not take responsibility for personal choices prior to and during the college years. It is better stated that the college experience reveals the quality and depth of a student's faith.

In today's post, Dr. Bill Brown, president of Cedarville University, shares the Top 10 challenges that Christian students face in college. This article was originally written as a blog submission for Relevant magazine and was then shared with Cedarville students in chapel on Monday, March 19, 2012.
