I've just discovered how great this magazine is. The look/design, the articles, the studies, devotions, the teaching plans (especially the discussion based plans) are all high quality resources. I think Collegiate+ is a great achievement by lifeway and I’m happy to see this kind of freshness and investment in college ministry. Keep up the good work!

What are some other thoughts about the magazine, particular articles, or teaching plans?

Just as an FYI related to the online Collegiate+ resources...

We've been rearranging some of the online Collegiate+ content in an effort to make it easier for you to find & easier for you to download/use. All related downloads have no been relocated to the College section of the LifeWay Student Ministry channel at www.lifeway.com/students. You can access the section directly at www.lifeway.com/collegiate as well.

The URL in future issues of the Collegiate+ magazine will transition to the /collegiate one as well in the coming months.

Continue to give us feedback about how you are liking/using this new format - we've been getting a lot of good feedback in its initial release.

John, It's very thrilling to hear your response to our new magazine for college students. Please feel free to tell us how we can continue to improve the magazine and other resources we provide college students and collegiate ministy leaders. The month of January will be very important as our magazine's editorial team will be traveling to three locations to meet face-to-face with college students and collegiate ministers in order to develop future issues of the magazine. Please pray for us as we travel to Phoenix, Seattle, and Kansas City.

Collegiate+ is an excellent resource as are the different products available at lifeway.com. I'm curious, why isn't the leader material available in print?

Bill, I'm glad you're finding the collegiate magazine a valuable resource. You raise a good question. Simply put, four issues were involved in making the leader material an online resource:
(1) It is much more economical to do so, for us and for you.
(2) When we surveyed leaders, an online resource was by far the most preferred.
(3) Be providing the leader material online, we are able to provide far more than we could in print.
(4) Placing the leader material online allows leaders to customize the teaching plan to fit their needs.

This magazine is great in all the articles and specially your devotions; why can't you print the whole devotions in it and not only the scriptures? I think that'd make it a lot easier to use. Thanks

I understand the reasoning but was unaware of the survey. My wife and I read all the material available, as I print it all, and have found this useful. It's just that occasionally other pages are referred to that are not available to download and they may be of use.

Anyway, another subject: Why has the commentary changed format from the summer? My wife and I much prefer the old format. Is it possible to receive that format? Thanks.
