Jackson Schlesinger, NCS Alumni, Class of 2024: An Alumni Relates the Gap Year Adventures He Experienced within the World Race

August 25, 2025 • Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative from Northwest Christian School

Nine months. Nine nations. A hurricane. Exotic locations. Primitive villages. Jungles.

For Northwest Christian alumni Jackson Schlesinger, the World Race, an amazing gap year journey directed by Adventures In Missions, there were the challenges that stemmed from the program's design to teach leadership while providing amazing spiritual formation - and then there were the challenges no one saw coming.

Like for example, a flood.

Today, we get to hear from Jackson as he recounts his adventures and talks about how God used the expected - and the unexpected - to grow and stretch him.

"Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.
