Dr. Elizabeth Smith, Dean of Faculty for Moody Online and a Professor and Curriculum Writer for Moody Bible Institute, shared how students can fight boredom, stay engaged, and see learning and work as a gift from God. We then invited our listeners to share a story about a time they were around an open Bible in public, whether it was them with the Bible or someone else.
