Learning Well From Those Ahead of Him
\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
Jake Johnson is wise beyond his years. How so? Because he\u2019s been blessed with the gift of knowing what he doesn\u2019t know, then the foresight to seek out those who have the experience and wisdom he hopes to exercise in his life.<\/div>\n
Jake, who is a senior political science major, has served as president for the Student Government Association this year at Cedarville University. He\u2019s learned in this role how to slow down, ask questions, and listen well. He\u2019s sought the godly insight of mentors on campus who he hopes to emulate.<\/div>\n
He\u2019s also been blessed with incredible opportunities to learn from people he admires, including the former vice president of the United States, Mike Pence, in whose office he interned. After graduation in May, he will be returning to the nation\u2019s capital to work as a staff assistant in the office of U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe from Oklahoma.<\/div>\n
It\u2019s easy to imagine an amazing path for Jake\u2019s life, but as he approaches graduation, he\u2019s reflecting on the people at Cedarville who helped him begin this journey.<\/div>\n
\u201cFour years ago, I was almost an entirely different person,\u201d he shares during the podcast. \u201cGod has used people at Cedarville, people who are way further down the line than me in their walks with the Lord. It\u2019s just such a unique place, where there\u2019s so many people running after the Lord. I\u2019m so grateful for the people at Cedarville.\u201d<\/div>\n
