  • Our own Dr. A.J. Swoboda is releasing his latest work, A Teachable Spirit. 

In a world marked by distraction, mind-numbing entertainment, endless content, polarization, and a decreasing desire to humbly learn from those we dislike, the way we engage sources of information like news media, science, and social media content could not be more important. Thankfully, the Christian faith provides sharp tools and rich traditions for learning how to be the best learners. By drawing on his experiences as a professor, theologian, and lay pastor, Swoboda explores the potency of seeing learning as a part of one’s spiritual formation to Jesus. 

With the right posture, Christians can learn from even the most unexpected places.

  • Wishing our Bushnell community a very happy Easter! ✝️
 
Last week, our Beacons had the chance to reflect in Chapel through interactive activities on Jesus’ sacrifice and the salvation gifted to us through his death and resurrection.
Today we celebrate that He is risen and remember that it is by Him that we are saved. Let us all take time to celebrate our Savior today.

  • Today we honor Good Friday as a time for remembrance and reflection on Jesus’ sacrifice upon the cross.

With our recently welcomed new tower cross, we are reminded consistently of his sacrifice for our salvation. With the cross being the tallest structure on our campus, it acts as a proud proclamation of our faith to our local community as it reaches above the skyline.

Honor Christ’s love today and anticipate the celebration of his resurrection this Easter Sunday.

  • Meet Kaleo Wellman! 💡

Kaleo is a Sophomore from Lebanon, Oregon majoring in Contemporary Music Production and Business Marketing. On campus, Kaleo is part of the Grove worship team, works at the Student Life front desk, and runs on the Bushnell Beacons track & field team. 

Kaleo's hobbies include writing music, training, fly fishing, and spending time with friends.

Kaleo's advice for his peers and incoming students is to work really hard and to reciprocate your glory and success back to God, he would also encourage you to surround yourself with people that will bring out the best in you.
