Testimony Tuesday: A relational God and a mission to reach Japan
By Balen Allain
Sophomore Mathias Hahn grew up in a Christian household with Christian parents, regular church attendance and a pastor for a father. He was saved at eight years old, believing in Jesus’ resurrection and payment for sin on the cross.
“I don’t know that my heart truly knew exactly what that choice was until probably junior, senior year of high school,” Hahn said. “I had different parts of my life, and Christ was a part, not the thing at the center that everything ...

In an alternate timeline where the United States has become a totalitarian country, “The Long Walk” is a film set in a dystopian future where 50 kids, one from each state, compete in an annual walk until one is left standing.
The 2025 survival thriller film is a movie adaptation of Stephen King's very first novel published all the way back in 1979: “The Long Walk.” It was one of King’s very first books as a freshman in college, taking heavy inspiration from the ...
Summer releases ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ and ‘Superman’ continue Hollywood’s tradition of heroes versus villains.
By Josh Ball and John Hiett
This summer two action packed movies hit screens, “K-Pop Demon Hunters” and “Superman.” Although both are full of action, their plots are resoundingly different.
When Sony Pictures Animation’s “K-Pop Demon Hunters” released on Netflix it became an instant fan-favorite. While the film itself skyrocketed to the top of Netflix’s streaming statistics, the songs themselves shot to chart-topping notoriety.
As the name suggests, the movie ...
New kids’ movie ‘The Light of the World’ tells the story of Jesus in a unique way
By Josh Ball
The story of Jesus in the Bible is the greatest ever told. Even cynics recognize His teachings are impactful. This nature has given the Gospel narratives many retellings.
Rarely do movies so blatantly tell the Gospel story as 2004s: “The Passion of the Christ.” The latest exception to this trend is “The Light of the World,” released by the Salvation Poem Project. Aimed toward young kids, the movie sets out to tell the story of man’s salvation through the eyes of a ...
Yellow Jackets win All-Ohio Cross Country meet
By Leah Angstadt
Time seemed to slow down as the starting pistol rang through the humid air, calling the All-Ohio cross-country runners to the starting line. The tension was almost tangible as the spectators formed thick lines on either side of the starting funnel. The runners held their breath on the starting line as they braced for the shock of the pistol. The very first XC meet of the fall semester of 2025, and both excitement and nervousness were thick in the air.
Boom. Just like ...

Foreign Film Series: ‘One Life’poignantly recounts the story of the man who saved 669 refugee children
By Teagan Warren
Although this PG-rated film (a rare find in World War II films) shows no blood or warfare, “One Life” impressed me.
“One Life” powerfully tells the narrative of a London stockbroker named Nicholas Winton who saved 669 refugee children. In the months leading up to World War II, children and their families fled to unoccupied Prague after Hitler had gained occupation of Austria and part of Czechoslovakia.
Nicholas, commonly called Nicky, visits Prague and ...
If you ask me: college isn’t the best four years, and that’s okay
By Julia Swain
Some days—like today, strolling around the lake with a coffee under the warm sun—I can’t help but love college. I love the freedom (or at least as close to freedom as I can get living in a dorm and having classes all day), I love getting to spend my flex dollars on a coffee from Rinnova and pretending I’m a “real adult” with a morning routine. I love bumping into friends between classes and knowing there’s always someone to wave to across the lake.
Then ...
