InterVarsity World Changers

Welcome to the debut episode of InterVarsity World Changers! We're here to celebrate stories of God's world-changing work through InterVarsity alumni like YOU!

To kick off this new podcast, we're talking with Jason "Smiley" Abrams about the Andy Abrams Foundation. Inspired by his father's ministry to low-income first-time homeowners, Smiley started the Andy Abrams Foundation in an effort to "establish a transformative discipleship house that will serve as a beacon of growth, learning, and community (andyabramsfoundation.org)."

Enjoy Smiley's story about following Jesus into a vision for ministry that's still under construction.

(NOTE: This is the first of 5 episodes being released in January. After the 10th, a new episode will drop on the second Wednesday of each month)

What is InterVarsity World Changers?

We all know that everyone wants to change the world. But what does it mean to be a world changer? During our time in InterVarsity, we learn that a World Changer is defined by a life committed to loving God, his Word, his people, and his purposes. Through the InterVarsity World Changers podcast, we are celebrating stories of God's world-changing work in and through alumni like you. These stories will encourage and inspire you as you join God in your context and continue your own journey as a world changer. Go change that world, Alumni!
