Introduction
It was Charles Colson who said, "The kingdom of God is not going to be advanced by our churches becoming filled with men, but by men in our churches becoming filled with God." For those who are aspiring to lead a life profoundly influenced by a Biblical worldview, the Colson Fellows Program serves as a unique discipleship training ground.
In an age where moral relativism blurs the lines of truth, and the Internet is teeming with competing philosophies, it's not just good—it's crucial—to have a solid foundation in Biblical truth. Enter the Colson Fellows Program

What is the Colson Fellows Program?
The Colson Fellows Program is a ten-month fellowship that aims to equip believers with a strong, Biblical worldview. Named after Chuck Colson, the founder of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, the program prepares individuals to face contemporary challenges and opportunities with courage and grace as Christ's ambassadors in the world.
C.S. Lewis once remarked, "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." This is the kind of 360-degree vision the Colson Fellows Program endeavors to impart to its students.

The Core Components
Curriculum
The program's curriculum explores foundational elements of a Biblical worldview. Participants delve into history, philosophy, science, and culture, framed through Biblical lenses.
As John MacArthur has said, "The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children." This program takes this to heart, preparing individuals to pass on a godly legacy.

Mentorship
One unique aspect of the program is the mentorship component. Participants are paired with experienced mentors to guide them through the rigorous journey of understanding Biblical truths and their application in various spheres of life.
Community
The program is not just an educational endeavor, but also a communal one. Participants join an existing network of Colson Fellows Alumni, creating lasting relationships and collaborations that extend far beyond the duration of the program.
As Charles H. Spurgeon quipped, "Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend." So, not only will you emerge as a well-equipped believer, but you might also find your next coffee-buddy for those eschatological discussions.

Why Should You Apply?
Francis Schaeffer once stated, "The beginning of men's rebellion against God was, and is, the lack of a thankful heart." The Colson Fellows Program instills a sense of gratitude for the intricate design of God's world, enabling you to live and witness with a heart of thankfulness.
Are you a theologian at heart, a disciple with questions, or perhaps a Calvinist looking to be further rooted in your faith? This program offers an enriched perspective for all.
David Jeremiah rightly said, "The measured, thoughtful pace of a disciple stands in stark contrast to the frenetic, aimless pace of the world." So, take a breather from the ceaseless noise of life and consider joining this transformative program.

Conclusion
From William Wilberforce's anti-slavery campaigns to Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theological resistance against totalitarianism, history has shown that men and women equipped with a Biblical worldview can profoundly change the world. The Colson Fellows Program stands as a testament to this truth.
In the words of John Calvin, "Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain." Don't be that person! Let the unwavering truths of the Bible mold your mind through the Colson Fellows Program.
Now go forth, future Colson Fellows. As J. Vernon McGee would say, "Don't become so heavenly minded that you are of no earthly good." Amen to that!
As a commissioned Colson Fellow from the class of 2023, I highly recommend this life-changing journey of the Colson Fellows Program.
