In this episode of Meet The Prof, we sit down with Dr. Marcus Kilpatrick, a Professor of Exercise Science at the University of South Florida. Dr. Kilpatrick shares his unique journey from a small-town upbringing to becoming a respected academic and mentor. We explore his research, his passion for student engagement, and the importance of vulnerability in building meaningful relationships on campus, and how to live out one's faith in a secular environment. From his days at Florida State University to leading a Bible study for students and faculty at USF, Dr. Kilpatrick’s story is one of dedication, humility, and faith.

Here are some takeaways:
1. College Students:
- Faith in Daily Life: Integrate your faith into everyday conversations naturally. If Christ is central to your life, it should come up just as naturally as any other passion or interest.
2. College Professors:
- Faith in Academia: Professors can honor God through the excellence of their work and by creating spaces where faith can be discussed and explored. Don’t be afraid to share your faith when appropriate, as it can positively influence students.
3. Parents of College Students:
- Supportive Environment: Pray for your child to find mentors, like professors who share their faith, and peers who will support them in their walk with Christ.
