Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chip Pollard (April 21, 2026)
Q: What advice do you have for students facing a challenging job market and how should they approach internships and entry-level roles?
Encouragement comes from evidence of strong employer interest in JBU graduates, the need to hustle and apply broadly, and the strategy of starting in an organization to move up from within.
Chip Pollard (April 21, 2026)
Q: What are your thoughts on AI in education and how should students and faculty adapt to it?
AI should augment learning by increasing engagement and memory, not replace struggle; there will be training for faculty and staff, and a university-wide toolkit (Bootle Box) to help design AI-enhanced projects.
Chip Pollard (April 21, 2026)
Q: How do you view student enrollment growth and the need for new housing or facilities like a multi-purpose chapel space?
Growth is driven by service intent and capacity constraints; they plan phased expansion, consider alternative uses, and weigh the cost and usefulness of building a large chapel versus improving programming and smaller spaces.
Chip Pollard (April 21, 2026)
Q: Why do you think it's important for students to be involved in a local church, and how is that different from the campus chapel experience?
Pollard explains the church as God's institution with lifelong significance and authority, emphasizing its role beyond campus life, while chapel remains central to the university's academic mission and worship experiences.
Dr. Lynn Cohick (March 12, 2026)
Q: Do you think that Esther is manipulating the king here?
No; she is not deceitful or unscrupulous. She understands the king's thinking patterns, persuades through careful timing and gratitude, and relies on trusted counsel and ritual acts (like fasting) to prepare for her appeal.
