Well-meaning family members and friends have probably been asking since high school. Yet perhaps the 'who' and 'how' – like “Who will you be after you graduate?” – are just as important as the 'what'.
Whether you've mapped out a clear career path or have no idea what's coming next, we at Brazos Fellows ask you to consider: "How will you prepare to faithfully live out whatever vocation God has for you?"

Paul Gutacker, Director
Paul Gutacker is a Ph.D. candidate in the History Department at Baylor University, where he is researching the cultural and political importance of nineteenth-century American interpretations of church history.
After earning a B.A. from Bryan College, Paul completed an M.A. in Theological Studies and a Th.M. at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia. He has published articles and book reviews in Crux, Fides et Historia, the Journal of Religious History, and the Journal of Ecclesiastical History.
In addition to his love for history, Paul is passionate about Christian pedagogy, particularly the relation between teaching practices and moral formation. Both his scholarship and his teaching are driven by a desire to see the church recover her historical memory. In his spare time, Paul enjoys reading fiction, running the Waco Riverwalk, cooking, and cheering on the Buffalo Bills.

Paige Gutacker, Assistant Director
Paige Gutacker holds a B.A. from Bryan College and an M.A. in Theological Studies from Regent College. Her masters thesis looked at online theological education, concluding that digital technology has some unintentional (de)formative impulses and in-person education is thus more ideal when it comes to spiritual formation.
Paige is passionate about people development and started her own business as a certified life coach in 2017, Crossroads Coaching. Paige previously worked in the non-profit sector and, together with Paul, co-authored an instructional text on mentoring for Christian educators.
Paige loves the conversation around spiritual formation and is studying to become a spiritual director. Her other interests include lay caregiving, gardening, wheel-thrown ceramics, health and nutrition, and hospitality. She spends much of her time caring for James Brantley (born April 2017) and laughing at the antics of their rescued spaniel mix, Lila.

Coming Soon
Well-meaning adults have probably been asking you for years. Sometimes, though, the 'who' and 'how' questions – questions like “Who will you be after you graduate?” – are more foundational than the 'what' question.
Maybe you have a clear road map to your desired destination, maybe you’ve been considering numerous paths, or maybe you have no idea what's next after college. No matter how certain you are of your career direction, we at Brazos Fellows ask you: how will you root yourself in the faith in order to grow a robust life of devotion to God and His work in the world? |
