Lifelong Learning Matters

As someone who has a minor obsession with the delectable, mouth-watering spicy chicken sandwich and addictive, piping hot waffle fries from Chick-fil-A, I've found that it is nice to have some extra cash. Now that I'm in college, my parents no longer pay for everything, and because it isn't typically acceptable to start a fundraiser for fast food, I work so that I can not only pay for what I need,…

This week in chapel, Dr. Robert Lehman preached on Hebrews 11:1 and Hebrews 12:2. Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and it is truth that holds three key realities. The realities of our faith include redemption, sanctification and glorification. Faith is not something that we as humans initiate to attract God but is a tangible experiential gift from God. We are called to fix our eyes on Jesus…

This week in chapel, Jennifer Greer preached on the text Mark 7:24-30, in which the Syrophoenician woman approaches Jesus begging him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

Jesus had been traveling along the sea and visits Tyre, a non-Jewish wealthy city. The original readers may have been alarmed that Jesus was approached by a woman of Greek and Syrian background, a non-Jew who throws herself at…

As an educator, your students mean a lot. With a Master of Arts in Education, you can continue your positive influence as you serve your students and school. Here are five reasons why this degree could be your next step.

When I was in high school I knew that I wanted to go to a Christian university. I really wanted to grow, specifically in my faith, and I knew that going to a Christian school would catalyze that process. At the time, I had no idea just how much coming to Cornerstone University would develop me not just spiritually, relationally or academically, but as a whole person.

At the age of 10 years old, Kevin Shuneson (B.A. ’83) had a general idea of what he wanted to do when he grew up–become an influential educator.

Shuneson recalls his teacher Mr. McClean, who made learning exciting. He was inspired by the way that Mr. McClean built strong relationships with students by getting to know them and even playing with them at recess.

After moving, Shuneson had more inspiration…

Internships provide a significant time of learning, growth and reflection for Cornerstone University students. Whether you pursue an internship for academic credit or simply to gain additional experience, practicing and learning new skills outside the classroom significantly increases your ability to compete for entry-level positions following graduation.

During a recent classroom panel discussion…

I am going to be completely honest with you. When the idea for this blog came my way, I didn't actually know what having an academic minor entails. So I decided that this would be a perfect opportunity to find out what an academic minor is and why it is important. I even got in touch with some knowledgeable faculty.

To help you gain a better understanding of minors, I will share what I have found…

In every stage of life, there comes a time to decide on a new direction. Many college students enter their studies unsure where their calling will lead them, unsure what direction to take. Such was the case for Emma Critchfield when she arrived at Cornerstone University as an undergraduate student.

Unsure of what she wanted to do but knowing she wanted to work with children, Critchfield decided to…

This week in chapel, Christy Carlin Knetsch preached from 2 Chronicles 30: 6-9, in which Hezekiah calls the people in Israel to return to the Lord. He urges them to no longer be stiff-necked or stubborn, but rather they are to submit themselves to God who has made a great covenant with His people that He will be their God and they will be His people.

Hezekiah, a good king, was determined to follow…

This week in chapel, Dr. Walter Gibson preached from Hebrews 11:4- 8 to emphasize the need to mix things up with our faith. In order for cement to become concrete, you must mix it with water, sand and gravel. Only once it has been mixed with these ingredients will it begin to take on true, solid concrete composition. Similarly, with our faith, certain things have to be mixed in order for God to make…
