On Friday, the cultural enterprise deans held a town hall meeting in Bauman to address recent changes to the liberal arts and humanities programs. The meeting, which lasted over two hours, was held to “create space for dialogue” between students and faculty.

In late January, Common Hymnal released a comprehensive collection of worship songs entitled “Praise and Protest” in reflection of both the stories of 2020 and those that have long existed in United States history. It is a collection of eighteen songs that have slowly been released over the course of last year. They explore Black narratives and the way in which Christians have a responsibility to involve themselves in social justice practices.

On October 14, Dr. Ross McCullough and Dr. Jekabs Bikis participated in a debate at George Fox University (GFU). Bikis argued that Christians should support capitalism, and McCullough argued that Christians should reject capitalism and aim for something better.

This memo seems to be a new episode installation in a series of words thrown haplessly into the panicked political fray. Words like “anarchy” hold significance when applied, yet the events in Portland are another instance of salient words losing all relative meaning when it suits the political narrative.

It is September 18, 2020, and my friend has confirmed that Ruth Bader-Ginsburg, associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, has passed away. I suppress a panic attack, but my shock at the news will not fade for several minutes.

These shows cover all walks of life and what it means to explore the world we live in today. When a show is deemed binge worthy it is a big deal and these are at the top of my list. So if traveling from Tiger zoos to the Outerbanks seems like your style, sit back and relax because you’ve got some binging to do.

Since the outbreak of Covid-19, numerous books and “prophecies” have been brought to light about the coronavirus, including excerpts from Sylvia Brown’s book, “End Of Days: Predictions And Prophecies About The End Of The World” and “The Eyes of Darkness”.

You may be asking yourself, what is this “Tiger King” that everyone is talking about? If you are asking yourself this, then you are living under a rock, but that’s okay because here is my spoiler-free mini synopsis: This Netflix docu-series goes behind the scenes on the crazy world of big cat owners, specifically Joe “Exotic” Maldonado-Passage, the “Tiger King” who runs a big cat zoo. You’ll get a glimpse into an entirely different culture: one filled with lies, lawsuits, limb loss, and a real-life liger (lion + tiger).

It is easy during this time in quarantine to pray for health, for protection over our loved ones, and for the COVID-19 virus to swiftly go away. However, does God really want to hear so many of the same prayers? And which of our prayers are selfish instead of noble?

Zoom has become the main form of communication for people all around the world. Before we were instructed to go into full online learning the only online video call service I was aware of was Skype. Well, the amount of time I spend on Zoom alone indicate that it is one of the most popular platforms for communication right now.

I don’t like being home. It reminds me of all the things I used to be, and none of the things I am. School has been a haven of learning and freedom. I’ve been able to grow there in my own little microcosm, be it a dorm room or an apartment with a friend.

Does anyone need an ark?

I Noah guy!

George Fox University (GFU) has an interesting campus community, with many distinct quirks. There are some objects, actions, and qualities that are specifically unique to GFU students. So, what’s popular at GFU, and how do these things affect our campus as a whole?

On Feb. 20, Dr. Sunggu Yang, an assistant professor of Christian Ministries, gave a lecture on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.’s theology on racial reconciliation, social justice, and peace. In the beginning of the lecture, Yang posed the question: why was King so hated among the other Christian leaders of his day if he preached the Gospel?

Modern technology has enabled rapid communication with other countries and cultures. It allows someone from California to travel overnight to Shanghai or Berlin for a business meeting the next day. Or, that person could have a video call with business associates from these countries at the touch of a button. This heightened interconnectivity between countries shows that learning a foreign language is more important than ever in our global community.

First of all, know that if you're not dating, there is something wrong with you. What other conceivable thing besides dating should a young Christian be doing?
