Why does YWAM have a University?

Описание: Jesus didn’t just preach. He disrupted education.

In this conversation with Trent Sheppard, we trace a powerful storyline – from Jesus challenging scribal authority in the first century… to Harvard printing the first Bible in North America… to the founding of the University of the Nations.

What if higher education was never meant to be neutral?
What if it's roots were deeply spiritual?
And what if the future of education looks more like discipleship than accreditation?

We explore:
How Jesus introduced a disruptive innovation in education
The difference between “Have you not read?” and “You have heard it said…”
Why scribal authority was shaken in the Gospels
The shocking history of Harvard — including the first Bible printed in North America (in the Algonquin language)
The Christian foundations of Oxford, Yale, Princeton, and early universities
How universities slowly drifted from their original Christ-centered foundations
Why Lauren Cunningham was skeptical of higher education
The prophetic word that led to modular education in YWAM
How the University of the Nations was born — not to copy traditional academia, but to redeem the idea of university itself

This is not just a history lesson.

It’s a reimagining of authority, learning, discipleship, and the empowerment of ordinary people through the Holy Spirit.

Education has always shaped the future.

The question is:
Who defines authority?
And what happens when the Holy Spirit becomes the measure?
