Five Years of Commencement Charges
It’s the ten minutes I spend a year thinking about. Every year at the Boyce commencement I have the distinct honor of sharing the platform with Dr. Mohler as we deliver back to back addresses to charge graduates. I generally ponder the question of what I will share throughout the year as it comes to mind.
