abstinence university

'Weekend Sunrise', an Australian television show similar to America's 'Good Morning America', featured two Biola students this weekend. I had the pleasure of coordinating the short interview that was broadcast live across Australia Sunday morning (their time) with the producers of the show.

Saturday, I drove the two students, Josh and Lindsey, to the show's LA studio for the interview. We had a bit of an adventure finding the place and between making a few u-turns, illegal maneuvers and pulling into an odd circular drive, finally decided to park and walk. Luckily, we had parked right next to the appropriate building. Even more so, I didn't have a parking ticket when we returned.

Josh and Lindsey did a wonderful job and were eloquent in their answers regarding the community standards agreement at Biola involving abstinence - sexual and substance. View the video here.

Although it is humorous that we were referred to as Abstinence University, this was a great avenue for the university's message and the students' beliefs to be shared. Also, I would love to work with this show's crew again. Besides the fact that their accents make me swoon, they were incredibly courteous and simply put, nice people.
