Inmates and students encourage each other through jail ministry
By Esther Fultz
For many Christians, the incarcerated population is difficult or intimidating to minister to because the majority of those in prison have different life experiences from the average person. Many of them lack access to resources and opportunities Cedarville students take for granted.
In Matthew 25:36, Jesus told his disciples, “I was in prison and you came to see me.” When his disciples asked when they did this for him, he responded, “Truly I say to you, as you ...

By Ashleigh Clark and Avonlea Brown
“Mind if I sit with you folks?” Jeff Davenport asks as he approaches a table full of students in the Willets dormitory lounge.
The group of students looks up at the smiling security officer. Stunned silence follows his question before one student finally nods his head.
“What are you talking about?” Davenport asks again as he sits down in an empty chair.
“Bluegrass music,” a boy in glasses answers. The others still are silent.

‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ Provides Nostalgia For Fans
By Anna Harman
I grew up playing the original Mario Bros. game as well as the spin-off games such as the new Super Mario Bros., Mario Sports Mix, and many others. This is a classic game for so many people, young and old, and so there was a wide range of people excited for this movie to come out. There were also many skeptics of this movie. People didn’t want the producers to ruin this beloved game or make it seem “cheap.”
This movie was very interesting to me for several reasons. ...
‘Air’ reflects a cultural fascination with building a personal brand
By Kathryn McDonald
Today we live in a culture that is fascinated with the idea of building personal brands. Individuals spend their time and money buying into aesthetics and products that they feel reflect who they are or who they want to become.

Anne Wilson tells her story through the “My Jesus” music video.

Christians confront the possibilities and impossibilities of AI
By Alan Brads
The artificial intelligence (AI) singularity:
A hypothetical point of no return, where machines surpass human intelligence, and learn to teach themselves without human intervention. Also linked with an "intelligence explosion," where machines quickly improve their own abilities, leading to runaway technological progress.
The utopian view of the AI singularity suggests the exponential growth of AI would lead to unprecedented levels of technological progress, including ...

College students share why they love to thrift
By Chloe Smith
Shelves of knick-knacks. Racks of clothes, some with that signature musty smell. Framed prints. Glassware. Shoes. These are common items that fill thrift stores.
Some view thrift stores as places for old junk. To others, it is a modern treasure hunt. Thrifting has become increasingly popular among the younger generations. Some do it to be trendy. Others, to save money. Some even see it as a way to be environmentally friendly and break away from fast fashion.
