BUCKHANNON \u2014 West Virginia Wesleyan College\u2019s Office of Religious and Spiritual Life will host Kent Chevalier, chaplain for the Pittsburgh Steelers and author of \u201cDo It Afraid,\u201d on September 25 at 7 p.m. in Wesley Chapel.<\/p>\n

Born and raised in the Pittsburgh region, Chevalier dedicated his life to God the summer prior to college. In 2017, at the invitation of former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, Chevalier joined the staff of Athletes in Action, a sports ministry, where he became a chaplain for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in student ministry from Geneva College and a master\u2019s in theological studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Chevalier has spent 30 years serving in various ministries.<\/p>\n

In \u201cDo It Afraid,\u201d Chevalier shares his testimony and lessons learned along the way. On September 25, Chevalier will speak on the topic \u201cBuilt to Last: What is Your Foundation?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live in a world where identity is often shaped by athletic achievement, academic success, professional ambitions, and public recognition. So, we want students and community members to reflect on the importance of developing an identity rooted in something more enduring than a sport, career, grade point average, or professional accomplishment,\u201d said the Rev. Jonathan Acord, vice president of religious and spiritual life and dean of the chapel.<\/p>\n

At West Virginia Wesleyan College, Religious and Spiritual Life seeks to help students explore, discover and practice faith personally and communally. Messages such as \u201cBuilt to Last: What is Your Foundation?\u201d reflect the college\u2019s commitment to holistic student formation, inviting individuals to grow intellectually, emotionally, relationally and spiritually.<\/p>\n
