Nice feature by CT. Love the spotlight on our international students and on the fantastic teams that recruit, welcome, and support them during their time at Calvin University.

I know it's a month old, but this was one of my favorite @christianitytoday.com pieces of 2024. A beautiful reflection on creation care with a real groundedness in the West Michigan context, featuring the work of Calvin University's Plaster Creek Stewards. www.christianitytoday.com/2024/11/pilg...

Gumbo for the students coming over after church tomorrow. I’ve made it once before, and it wasn’t quite right. This time around, I think I got it right.

Just finished teaching my last class of the semester. 🙌🏼 We spent time with one of my very favorite bits of Luther.

From a friend’s list of favorite books read in 2024. It wasn’t what I set out to do, but maybe the highest compliment I could ever receive for this book is that it makes a reader want to read other books.
