his time at Covenant had on 他.
Living Authentically in Community
Nathaniel’s time at Covenant was especially formative in shaping his approach to calling,
工作和生活. To 他, it was most important that Covenant teach 他 how to live
life authentically and holistically. It was not just his academic growth at Covenant
that readied 他 for his career, but the community he found alongside his academics
in both professors and students. “I gained technical knowledge and practical wisdom
from professors, lived in community with wonderful men and women, and learned that
the way you work and the way you live should not be separated. 我对……的态度
both the significance of my work and relationships led me directly to the Chik-fil-A
支持中心.” 的 people and community he met along the way were a large part of
his journey toward his early career. "I don't think I would have my dream job so young
if not for the countless people who impacted me at Covenant."
Learning Cognitively and Technically
Academically, Nathaniel felt prepared to enter his career in several ways. 之一
which was through the technical knowledge and skills sets his specialized courses
at Covenant gave 他 in order to enter a fast-paced corporate world. “这些类
challenged and sharpened my mind and honed my ability to solve complex problems,”
他说. However, he also emphasizes that it was not just the technical skills at
Covenant that have been valuable to 他 in his career, but also the cognitive skills.
He thinks back to some of the other classes he took at Covenant and their value to
他. “My biblical studies and theology classes sharpened my ability to think critically
about issues, both conversationally and in writing, a valuable skill in the corporate
setting;” he continues, “I found this field both spiritually edifying and intellectually
fascinating that while I was at Covenant I took so many classes in that program I
几乎修习.” Now, alongside his corporate job, Nathaniel is pursuing this
passion of biblical study at Reformed 的ological Seminary on a part-time basis.
