Five baseball movies to watch while in quarantine

April 21, 2020 Christian Weaner One comment

This is the third column I’ve written for The Champion and, somewhat unsurprisingly, also the third baseball-related opinion that I’d like to present. I say “unsurprisingly” because baseball was the sport I grew up with. I played tee-ball all the way until I was a senior in high school, and I have been a Philadelphia Phillies fan for as […]

Q&A with LU football head coach Hugh Freeze

April 21, 2020 Chad Wylie Leave a comment

The college football season never ends for a coach. While players get some time off, and fans spend most of the summer in eager anticipation for the return of the season, the job of a coach continues. Not even a global pandemic can make the responsibilities of a college football coach grind to a half. This week, assistant sports editor […]

In the world of COVID-19, social distancing makes it difficult to do pretty much anything. With spring here and the smell of warmer days on the soft breeze, many people are longing to step outside and trade the stiff household air for the fresh outdoors. Even with COVID-19, this spring can still be one to fondly remember. Focus on the […]

The Notre-Dame still rings: Why hope prevails during a pandemic

April 21, 2020 Emily Wood 3 comments

On April 15, 2019, I remember standing in the newsroom as the newspaper staff stared at the TV, mouths open in shock, as we watched the Notre-Dame de Paris burn. The fire came “within 15 to 30 minutes” of destroying the beloved symbol of faith and the world stood astounded as it witnessed the iconic cathedral, with origins in the […]

OPINION – Celebrities should provide concrete aid not symbolic gestures

April 21, 2020 Asher Notheis Leave a comment

While people are coping as best they can during the coronavirus pandemic, it seems some celebrities are more concerned about themselves than those around them. Thanks to the wealth and status they have accumulated over the years, it appears that celebrities such as a number of NBA players, Idris Elba and Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson receive coronavirus […]

Siblings are born for adversity and absurdity – Adventures with Abby

April 21, 2020 Abby Bowman Leave a comment

I’m fairly certain that the bond between siblings is one of the oddest and strongest relationships in this world. Several days ago, while my parents were on a Zoom meeting in our living room, my high-school-aged brother and sister piled on my bed with me to watch Netflix on my laptop. I ended up sitting squished in the middle, with […]

Be content and don’t complain about your “ruined” semester – Adventures with Abby

April 8, 2020 Abby Bowman Leave a comment

I’m tired of seeing seniors complain about their last semesters being ruined. I’m tired of hearing and reading about students lamenting that they couldn’t spend time with their friends or go on all the adventures associated with spring semester and the return of warm weather. I’m tired of catching thoughts like “If it wasn’t for this stupid virus I could […]

A lot has changed at Liberty since students finished spring break. Ever since Liberty University announced that all residential courses would be moving to an online format, the change has had a dramatic impact on the students. While some have found the move to online classes to be a welcome change, other students are finding the sudden change to be […]

Coronavirus made us reinvent our culture – let’s invent a better one

April 8, 2020 Clayton Dykstra 2 comments

As COVID-19 leaves millions homebound or unemployed, Americans have not experienced a dramatic shock to our culture this acute since the attack on Pearl Harbor. Like all past hardships, the pandemic should broaden our perspectives for a better future. Post-COVID America will be a better America. The wake of the crisis will leave a permanent mark on our habits and […]

In this crisis, the Church must love wisely – The Emily Angle

April 8, 2020 Emily Wood 2 comments

Early pagans called Christianity a “religion for the sick.” Since Christians have a strength the world does not give and a heavenly outlook on life, we should set the example in our approach to suffering and being on the frontlines of a crisis. Christians should not run from sickness. Instead, we should run to the sick, the hurting and the […]

All Christians should embrace the traditional Holy Week

April 8, 2020 Abby Bowman Leave a comment

Have you ever heard of Maundy Thursday? If you grew up in a non-denominational or less-traditional church, probably not. Although all Christians know what Good Friday and Easter Sunday are and what they celebrate, not all Christians remember the other significant days of the Holy Week. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, commemorating the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on […]
