Students at an Ask Initiative campus event
The Ask Initiative

A student-centered conversation on faith, identity, and meaning.

An on-campus listening and engagement experience for Black college students, built on the simple idea that Jesus asked more questions than he answered.

What it is

A full-day campus engagement event.

The Ask Initiative provides students with a welcoming space to wrestle with spirituality, identity, doubt, purpose, and the pressing issues shaping their lives. It blends hospitality, intellectual depth, and cultural relevance to create an environment where students feel seen, heard, and invited to think deeply.

By day

We step on campus and hand students the mic, capturing their unfiltered thoughts about the relevance of faith, Christianity, and the church in their daily lives.

By night

Those same questions come to the stage for a live, honest Q&A with scholars, historians, and influencers who have expertise in the topics we address.

Why the Ask Initiative matters

It advances the mission in real time

The Ask Initiative places Jude 3 Project directly among the young adults we exist to serve, engaging skepticism with truth, grace, and intellectual honesty.

It produces content rooted in real questions

Every conversation informs what Jude 3 teaches and creates, ensuring our resources address the actual struggles shaping belief today, not assumptions.

It introduces credible voices

At each stop we elevate theologically sound communicators who help translate Christian faith into language this generation understands and trusts.
