College is Not Godly is not just a title — it’s a truth many are afraid to name out loud. In this bold and honest debut, Tyler Hines shares her journey as a pastor’s kid and student leader navigating the culture clash between her Christian identity and the secular systems embedded in college life — especially at an HBCU.
With raw storytelling, spiritual reflections, and personal revelations, this book confronts how higher education often calls young people to conform rather than create, to perform rather than be transformed. From dorm room doubts to campus leadership, from chapel pews to classroom politics, she explores how God’s calling can feel muffled by the noise of academic expectations, social pressures, and cultural norms.
This is more than a memoir. It’s a prophetic call to a generation who’s tired of choosing between who they are and who the world tells them to be.
And because this journey has been so personal and spirit-led, I wanted to release it in a way that reflects that. I’ll be sharing College Is Not Godly chapter by chapter on a weekly basis — with author’s notes, real-time reflections, and space for us to connect, like a Wattpad-style release — but covered in prayer. Subscribe early under the tab, ‘College is not Godly’.

Thank you for being part of this moment — I truly can’t wait to share it with you.
First chapter coming Mid-July.
