Behind the Scenes | College Ministry & Internships

Published on: 5th March, 2026

In this Behind the Scenes episode, we sit down with Michael Knapstad and Grace Miller to talk about college ministry and internships at Blackhawk. What's the college landscape looking like right now? What are students hungry for? And why do these years matter so much?

You'll hear about the deep hunger students have for real, honest, and convicting teaching, how quickly what connects with college students can shift from year to year, and what it looks like to watch a student begin to recognize their gifting and sense God's call on their life.

Whether you're a college student, a parent, or someone who cares about the next generation, this episode will give you a hopeful look at what God is doing in the lives of college students at Blackhawk.

About the Podcast

Blackhawk Church Next Steps
Welcome to Next Steps, a podcast from Blackhawk Church in Madison, WI. We believe that following Jesus is a lifelong journey, so no matter where you’re at, there’s always a next step to take. Each episode we’ll create space for real conversations—about the questions we wrestle with, the challenges we face, and the hope we find in Jesus. Our goal isn’t to have it all perfectly figured out, but to walk faithfully towards Jesus together.
