When Jason
Wendel first started attending Briercrest College and Seminary, his focus was
on playing volleyball.
Now four years
later, having graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies with a 3.99
GPA, his outlook has shifted from his time spent at the school in Caronport.
“I was
thinking, ‘I’m going to play volleyball here. That’s my main focus.’ I wanted
to play with my brother. He was on the team at the time. So I came in and was
focused on that and it was really sweet. I spent three years on the Briercrest
volleyball team and that was excellent,” said Wendel, “but the biggest thing
for me was the school, to be honest. I fell in love with studying and learning
about liberal art. I got into literature and reading.
“I came out
the other end with this huge appreciation for what the Bible is and just the
study and the love for that.”
