Fertile Ground – A Cedarville Alumni Art Exhibition
This past Saturday (9/9/23), the Cedarville University Gallery opened a new exhibit Fertile Ground honoring alumni who laid a foundation for today's art department students.
Fertile Ground comes from the question, “How do we make things grow?” In Matthew 13 it says, good soil allows for deep roots, protection from birds and thorns, and a rich environment for a seed to come alive.
Featuring work from Studio Art Cedarville Alumni, Fertile Ground&n...
‘One Piece’ is shockingly spectacular
By Janie Walenda
When the writers and actors’ strike began in May, I joked with my brother about how we, two people who watch a lot of film and television, will cope. I said that I would likely end up hate-watching old Dracula movies and comparing them to the book. And given his newfound enjoyment of anime, I joked that he would give in and start “One Piece.” I should’ve known better.
“One Piece” is a notoriously inaccessible anime. Thousands of episodes long, ...
Summer Film Recap: Laci Strouse’s summer of inspiring, uplifting and encouraging entertainment
By Laci Strouse
This summer I spent a lot of my time watching movies and TV shows. After everything I saw, “The Little Mermaid,” “Sound of Freedom,” “The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2” and “Sun Moon” remain my favorites. These movies and series are all special in their own way and made my summer a little brighter.
“The Little Mermaid” was a great family film.
Summer break began with the release of the live-action Little Mermaid in theaters. It did not disappoint ...
Brads’ Breakdown: the Calm Before the Storm
By Alan Brads
Have you ever had a theory that you don’t say out loud because it seems glaringly obvious but no one else seems to have thought of it? It makes you wonder if you’re a genius, going insane, or both. Well here’s mine:
I think it’s possible that the number one reason the NFL is overwhelmingly more popular than college football is not marketing, or parity, or format or even quality of play, it’s that Sunday comes after Saturday.
By the end of Saturday I love ...

The Cedarville men’s soccer team played the Findlay Oilers, and dueled them to a scoreless draw in their conference opener, moving their record to 3-1-1 on the year.
Despite facing fifteen shots, goalkeeper Jabari Gray earned his fourth clean sheet of the year, and has so far effectively filled the shoes of former standout goalkeeper Jared Zacharias.

Summer Film Recap: Ben Konuch’s summer of espionage, action and missed opportunities
By Ben Konuch
Summer blockbuster season is always too overwhelming to try to fit every major release into your schedule. Whether it be all the new streaming series, or the brand new franchises being started in cinemas or even iconic names returning on the big screen like “Indiana Jones,” this summer blockbuster season has been no exception. But when you can’t watch every new release, you have to pick the ones that look most intriguing. For me, those movies were “Mission Impossible: ...
Summer Film Recap: Esther Fultz’s summer of armageddon and glitter
By Esther Fultz
I’ve never been a big film person. Sure, I’ll watch the occasional film with my family, and I’ve seen “The Sound of Music” and “The Lord of the Rings” more times than I can count. But seeing films in the theater isn’t a common occurrence for me, and before this summer, I never would’ve seen myself watching two films back to back. “Barbenheimer” changed that.
“Oppenheimer” presents a complex portrait of humanity.
Contrary to popular recommend...

CU at the Patio launches as a new way for students to take a study break
By Maggie Fipps
One of the seminal moments for freshmen Cedarville students is the class picture. Crowded together, usually separated from your friends and standing next to that random kid from your Sting group, you squint into the sunlight as Dr. White directs you to smile at the camera.
As enrollment swelled, Cedarville extended not only the backdrop of the iconic class picture but also the backdrop for building community as they extended the lakeside patio onto Cedar Lake, ...
