Hello Lighthouse Trails:
I am grateful to God for using you and your website to open my eyes on so many spiritual war fronts.
The reason I am writing this e-mail is because I am looking for a list of Christian higher education establishments that have signed on with the woke movement.
I recently applied to a “Christian” college (College of Bbiblical Studies [CBS], Houston) after first pre-checking the name of the institution against your list of Christian colleges that promote spiritual formation.
I thought I was safe since it was not on the list, but boy was I wrong! I recently watched a DVD titled Enemies Within the Church, and I was struck when they noted that woke “Christian” colleges and seminaries focused heavily on philosophy and worldviews rather than Scripture. I was dumbfounded when I heard this because one of the required classes I had signed up for at CBS seemed to be heavily focused on philosophy and worldviews.
This greatly concerned me, so I dug a little deeper and found that one of the professors teaching at CBS actually wrote the book Woke Church. His bio is located in the link below:

I had already been suspicious about the college due to a number of things that didn’t seem right (e.g., my academic advisor had given me a list of devotionals she liked and among them was the book Jesus Calling.)
Needless to say, I have since withdrawn from CBS.
I am writing this e-mail in the hope that you have compiled a list of Christian colleges and universities identifying which establishments have compromised with the woke movement.
In Christ
S.M.
LTRP Editor’s Note:
After doing our own research as well as examining the information sent by S. M., we have added this school to our Contemplative College list (a list we have been adding to for nearly two decades).
In answer to this person’s question as to whether we have a compiled list of schools that have begun to integrate “wokeism” (e.g., cultural Marxism) into their schools, we have not. However, typically, as a rule of thumb, if a college or seminary has been promoting “spiritual formation” (i.e., contemplative spirituality), there is a strong likelihood they are also promoting “progressive” (e.g., wokeism, emergent) ideologies as well because spiritual formation leads to emergent progressive thinking. This is the link that, unfortunately, many Christians do not realize exists. As we have explained for many years now, contemplative spirituality (a belief system rooted in the New Age) was the “energy” that gave the emerging church its umph. That emerging/emergent church is what is now called the “progressive” woke church. A church doesn’t become “woke” overnight; it happens with an incremental slide into apostasy.
For readers who want to understand the detrimental effects of contemplative spirituality, please read Ray Yungen’s book A Time of Departing. If you cannot afford to buy this book, e-mail us, and we will send you a free copy. Also, read Mary Danielsen’s “S is for Social Justice: The Language of Today’s Cultural Revolution.”
Finding a Christian college, university, or seminary that is biblical has become increasingly difficult. It’s a dilemma that many Lighthouse Trails readers have encountered, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. If you know of a higher education school that is maintaining a biblical stance, please let us know. If it passes the scrutiny of our research team, we will let our readers know about it.

These “woke” colleges have been infiltrated by jesuits disguised themselves as born again believers to do exactly what is taking place.
Philosophy and worldview are exactly what roman catholic seminary students study to become priests and Charles Chiniquy wrote all about this in his book, “50 years in the Church of Rome”. He was a French Canadian jesuit trained to bring catholic immigrants into the united states (Indiana – look at the history of the founding of the university of Notre Dame) to change the voting outcome of elections.
He became a born again follower of Christ and wrote his testimony down about what the catholic church trained him to do then (early 1800’s) and still is now through the jesuit order. Find and watch the testimony of former jesuit Alberto Rivera and how he explains the exact same thing. Their whole purpose was to infiltrate biblical Christianity believers and start to introduce false doctrine and anti-biblical philosophy, worldview and social justice issues.
All the major universities in the US are controlled by jesuits and have been for decades, they run the educations systems, the entertainment industry and many other areas of government for the purpose of bringing one world government about under religious control of the pope which they are just about to bring about with all the world issues and us dollar being devalued out of existence. It’s only a short matter of time.
Thank you for the article. I pray more followers wake up to the truth of why this is happening the way it is.
The grace, mercy and peach of our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be multiplied to you.

Faith Baptist Bible College and Seminary is still faithful as far as I know. Also Bible Baptist College of Pennsylvania is good, but it’s been a bit since I have heard anything about it.
But I believe that Grace University in Omaha Nebraska is defunct and has been so for a few years already. You might check into that.
Thanks for your work.
Sattler College in Boston is a great one. The president is Dean Taylor, author of the book, “A Change of Allegiance.”
Chafer.edu – a college Dr. Andy Woods administers.
Dr. Woods is pastor and Bible teacher at Sugarland Bible Church in Sugarland Texas. I think Chafer.edu is just for training people going into the ministry.
Dr. Andy Woods, President of Chafer college in Sugarland, Texas! Faithful and fantastic!!!
You may want to check out Millar College of the Bible in Pambrun, Saskatchewan, Canada. One of the few left in Canada. They also have campuses in British Columbia and Manitoba. https://www.millarcollege.ca/pambrun
Crown college in Knoxville, TN, and Pensacola Christian are the only good ones I know of. I’ve heard Maranatha in Wisconsin may be good. Bob Jones is a disaster.
I’d go to Crown if I was 18.
West Coast Baptist College in Lancaster, CA is also a Bible-based college. There is no woke or spiritual formation there. I know because many of our teachers attended.
Pensacola Christian college. Is a good solid Bible based college check it out one of the few left
My son attended Pensecola Christian College this year and so far we have been impressed with their Biblical focus and standards. No government money. no requirement for spiritual formation or suspicious psychological or worldview studies. Very pleased with the wisdom of staff and students
