Faculty Mid-Career Crisis and Remedies

Abstract

Most Christian faculty members start their careers full of excitement and thanks since they know God called them to participate in God’s work through research and teaching to restore the world. However, as time passes, many of them experience their callings get dimmer. If faculty suffer a midlife career crisis, their ability to help their students to be future Christian leaders for God’s Kingdom may be negatively impacted. This paper introduces a faculty crisis self-checklist that contains 10 symptoms and provides remedies to overcome the crisis.
