This Sunday, April 11th, is National Holocaust Remembrance Day. Whether you are a history major or not, it’s important for us as young people to look closely at the history of our nation and our world and learn from both our victories and our failures.

Last fall, an article called “The Gospel for iGens” was published on Christianity Today’s website about “the next generation’s” need to hear Good News that can break through their defenses. Scot McKnight asserts that emerging adults (those between 18 and 30) form a generation that is largely insensitive to the potency of God’s holiness, the [...]

In Bible studies, the book of Daniel is well known. As a student, what does his life tell us about college? About the collegiate environment? About our response to college? If Daniel were to talk with you about college, there’s no doubt that you would listen to his testimony. In fact, he’d be more than [...]

I recently read about a new study from San Diego State University that determined that American young adults are feeling more stressed, anxious, and depressed than their parents or grandparents did. The study analyzed data from more than 63,000 high school and college students between the years 1938 and 2007. Researchers found that 85% of [...]

Mark Earley, president of Prison Fellowship, recently addressed a pertinent topic to college students: Can we be happy without sex? He holds up Professor Dale Kuehne, professor of politics at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, and Kuehne’s new book called Sex and the iWorld as evidence. Kuehne regularly teaches a class called “The Politics [...]
You, Me, & College Culture

What’s our mission when it comes to the college campus? To accurately answer the question, we would do well to follow Chuck Colson’s lead. Colson says we tend to get the Great Commission right, but we ignore the “culture commission.” The mission of the Christian professor, college staff member, campus minister, and student are the [...]

Ever found yourself trying to study while sitting in a pile of books, typing on your laptop, checking your Facebook news feed, updating your Twitter, watching TV, and texting your mom all at the same time? Multi-tasking. Is it only for the skillfully adept? In a recent Stanford University study published in the Proceedings of [...]

If asked, most people would probably say that their ultimate goal in life is happiness. What is happiness though? Listen to what David Jeremiah says, “Happiness is the world’s cheap imitation of Christian joy. Happiness is dependent on happenings, on ‘hap,’ which is another word for ‘luck.’ Someone who is hapless is luckless. When we [...]
