Last week, one of the most watched videos on youtube was a Hyundai commercial for the World Cup featuring Nick Vujicic. Ever heard of him?

I’ve talked a lot about why following Daniel’s lead is the best approach to college. Here are 2 more reasons to live like Daniel: 1. When you keep your heart pure, you can discern God’s will for your life. 2. Because God calls us to holiness. Reason 1 Romans 12:2: “Do not be conformed [...]

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 [...]

Eventually, our physical hearts will give out. But not our spiritual hearts. Our spiritual heart is the part of us that lives forever. Isn’t it interesting, though, that the part of us that lives forever gets the least amount of attention? When’s the last time you looked in the mirror and thought about your inner [...]

Did you catch NBC’s pilot for “Community”? Any thoughts? Do you think the show, “a smart comedy series about a band of misfits who attend Greendale Community College” according to NBC, has promise? I’m a big fan of community colleges and comedy, so I was pumped about watching the pilot. Take an experience that a [...]
Stressing Out, Regrettably

Why are so many students stressing out about college and their upcoming semester? Why the frantic tone? Nothing’s working out! What if I don’t get the right schedule? Of course this would happen to me. What if I can’t get an override? That sounds too hard. What if? Why? What growth would be [...]
