The death of Jesus on the cross deeply illustrates the Father's love for his children. For one, Jesus shows heavy compassion and grace when he's surrounded by mockers and shamed by his people. The events following his crucifixion also speak of the intimate, cosmic love of Jesus, prompting us to seek his love, forgiveness, and healing.

John the Baptist was a radical, God-fearing man, and he was not interested in making himself more well-known. Heather Erickson emphasizes the value of leaving a legacy and describes how John used his life to make a lasting impact and make Jesus as famous as possible.

Andy Erickson ends our semester and school year by getting back to the basics. The Gospel is always relevant to every person in every season. Our beliefs are tied to our actions. We cannot help but to live out what we believe, whether it's the true Gospel or another false gospel.

The missional heart of God is vital to our lives and the way we give to the people around us. If the anatomy of God's heart is sending love, and the physiology of God's heart is missions, then God's heart in us stirs a love of missional generosity inside of us.

Ohio Superintendent John Wootton finishes our series on having a culture of honor by discussing the topic of messaging. How do we resolve conflicts biblically? How do we know when to speak up and when to keep quiet? What do we do differently with different audiences? John addresses each of those concerns with personal experience and biblical reasoning.

Jay Seidler continues our series on having a culture of honor. A culture of honor is more than just having respect for each other, but it's elevating each other above ourselves. Honor is not zero-sum, it calls out the gold in people, and it protects relationships in the process.

Great Lakes Chi Alpha Director Steve Brannan speaks on the value of the Bible. The Bible is bread for the soul, weaponry for the spirit realm, and a map for life. Most importantly, it tells us the story of Jesus from beginning to end.

Heather Erickson takes a deeper dive into a "Culture of Honor" by taking a look at the biblical role of women. The role of women in the world wasn't meant to be a place of submission but one of mutuality and equality. Women were meant to reign and fashioned so by God from the beginning. Jesus through the redemptive gospel is restoring their place.

Andy Erickson kicks off our end-of-the-semester series on a Culture of Honor. We value honor because our heavenly Father values honor. Therefore, we must commit ourselves to developing a culture of honor.

Missionary Glen Smith challenges our thinking about a comfortable life in Jesus. Fear is what keeps us from fulfilling the potential that God has planned for our life. The end of our ability is the beginning of God's power, and His power is often in the middle of the storm, not in the boat.We must learn that the glory of God is found in our simplest steps of obedience.

It's #TooJuicy! Andy and Heather Erickson share together a fresh perspective on healthy, godly relationships: How does our relationship effect the other person's relationship with the Lord or with others? It's not always about defining what's "not okay"; sometimes we need to know what's "okay" to do when it comes to relationships.

Great Lakes Chi Alpha Director Steve Brannan finishes our Acts series with a commission. We are the 29th chapter of Acts who continues the work of the Holy Spirit even today.

Jay Seidler continues our Acts series talking about a lesser-celebrated role of the Holy Spirit: Advocate. How do we follow His lead as fellow advocates with Him? Believe the best, stop rumors, cover weaknesses, and rejoice in strengths.

Josh Plaisance, lead pastor of The Dwelling Place, is with us sharing his testimony about how he came to Jesus and the Holy Spirit's powerful work in his life.

Heather Erickson begins our series on Acts by giving an introduction to the book. The author, Luke, had two main goals: document the spread of the gospel through the Roman empire and put on full display the central role of the Holy Spirit in empowering the Church. He is still spreading the gospel, and He is still empowering you, the Church.

Jay Seidler polishes off our series about Family and the gospel talking about the Holy Spirit. He plays a vital role in our adoption into the family of God. Because of His work, we are heirs who were chosen by God who belong in His family.

Heather Erickson continues the series "In the Family" with a closer look at Jesus' role in the gospel. Jesus always was, always will be, and is all we need right now.

In the last week of the series, we hear from Dylan, a Chi Alpha who is an RA. He grew up in a Christian home and in a small church. His journey to know Jesus is anything but typical.

In our second week of Stories, we hear from Saron, a student with a harrowing story. We see God working in our most difficult and impossible situations.

Andy and Heather Erickson share they're stories in light of the broader Gospel story. Jesus is writing His story of redemption on your life too!

Andy Erickson invites us to join the family on mission for the campus. Every member is important to accomplishing the mission of God to find, fight for, and feed the lambs of God.
