LU freshman’s family launches fashion company that supports pro-life organizations

December 2, 2019 Kathryn Alley One comment

Companies in the fashion industry often directly donate or indirectly give proceeds to organizations like Planned Parenthood. Many pro-life customers, however, want to enjoy shopping and the clothes they are wearing without indirectly funding an organization they disagree with. Supporting mainstream companies funding Planned Parenthood has become a problem for many individuals who don’t agree with the politics and practices […]

Hill Students find community playing nightly games of four square

December 2, 2019 Jacqueline Hale Leave a comment

Each night, before rounding the corner of Hill Dorm 22, the sound of a rubber ball meeting cement echoes off brick buildings. Laughter follows. This is four square territory. With the cicadas chirping from the trees and a warm breeze floating between the buildings, three Liberty University students come out to the courtyard. With LU logos painted on their faces […]

Column: The Emily Angle – Leaders should display grace instead of hostility

December 2, 2019 Emily Wood One comment

Our views of leadership are often skewed in a culture where the loudest shout often dominates the room. Nikki Haley, however, seeks to “kick with a smile” and lead with both “grit and grace.” She says the way she conducts herself in situations influences how everyone else conducts themselves moving forward. As governor of South Carolina, Haley led the state […]

December 2, 2019 Savanna Graves One comment

For some people, the phrase “Happy Holidays” incites indignation brought on by assumed disrespect. For others, the simple phrase encompasses their celebrations, whether that be Christmas or another winter festivity. “Happy Holidays” is not a disrespectful phrase towards Christians and Christmas, but instead it is an inclusive one that brings different walks of life together in joyful holiday spirit. According […]

Opinion: Christians must refuse to take Christ out of Christmas

December 2, 2019 Kelly Sobnosky Leave a comment

You leave work for the last time before the holiday season. You pass a nonbelieving co-worker who cheerfully wishes you a “Happy Holiday Season.” You pause for a moment, unsure of what to say back. Do you reply in kind, or do you wish them a “Merry Christmas?” You don’t want to offend your co-worker, but at the same time, […]

Column: Eppinger Eats – Ranking the top 5 Chick-fil-A sauces

December 2, 2019 David Eppinger Leave a comment

The holidays are full of good food and good music. What is a better way to celebrate than with a rating of Chick-fil-A sauces as compared to pop artists? Having been a Chick-fil-A employee for over two years, I have grown familiar with the many varieties of sauces at Chick-fil-A. Naturally, during my four years at Liberty and using a […]

Column: Adventures with Abby – Embracing the diversity in Christmas

December 2, 2019 Abby Bowman Leave a comment

Eighteen. That is the number of Nativity sets at my home in Pennsylvania. Large, detailed ones like the one that spans at least half the antique baking table in the foyer. Tiny ones that could fit in the palm of my hand, placed carefully out of the range of wagging dog tails. Medium ones nestled next to the lamps on […]

Opinion: Star Wars fans can expect a spectacular ending to the last trilogy of the saga

December 2, 2019 Chad Wylie One comment

Bringing a movie series to an end is the most difficult task a film director faces. That difficulty multiplies exponentially with the high-pressure circumstances of closing out perhaps the greatest movie franchise in history. That is to say: J.J. Abrams has his work cut out for him with “Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker,” debuting Dec. 20. In 2019 two of […]

Former UN ambassador and governor Nikki Haley shares how she ‘kicks with a smile’

The first female governor of South Carolina (2011-2017) and the daughter of the only Indian immigrant family growing up in a rural South Carolina town, Haley is aware of what it feels like to be judged for things she cannot change about herself. During her Nov. 15 visit to Convocation, Haley shared […]
