Spiritual Enrichment Week is a recurring chapel series focused on re-energizing the Judson base with discussions about real-life, practical topics.
"Jon will bring a unique artistic spin to Spiritual Enrichment Week. He is creative and thoughtful, poetic and winsome," said Chris Lash, director of University Ministries. "The series 'forward' will encourage students to follow the voice of God into the fray and through difficulty."
