The Regent Experience
christian leadership
Written by Dr. Hankle
 
When you mention you work for Regent, you generally hear two responses. The first is, "Regent, I've heard good things about it, but isn't that a religious school?" The other is, "Isn't that Pat Robertson's school?" In some sense, both statements are true. However, both need clarification to really understand the Regent experience.

I tend to be very hard on myself.
If I don't succeed, I try to destroy all evidence I tried! :) This perfectionistic attitude can crush me when I don't live up to the standards I set up for myself, especially when I can't keep up with all my brilliant ideas! Negative thinking establishes 'strongholds', releasing toxins into your brain. This gives you diseases and cripples you (eventually... not the first time you think negatively).

SO I had this BRILLIANT idea: I am going to focus on all positive things in my life. Tell myself how smart I am, and remove my favorite joke, "my last brain-cell died from loneliness," from my vocab. (Click here to check out Amanda's Blog!)

MasterPeace Theatre Presents: STILL
the motions
Written by Michan Meyer
 
GOD:  Be still and know that I am...

ME:  Seriously?! Still?! With this Shakespeare paper to write, and the spaghetti sauce perma-gluing to the pot in the sink, and the kids' school-picture day tomorrow?! Still?! (shrugs) Sorry, not happening. I mean, I'd like to and all, but I've got this RUN article to write, and the Ministry Report for church and I still haven't folded those three loads of laundry piled in the rocking chair...

Back to the Basics
Leading Tickles
Written by Michelle Echterling
 
There's nothing like waking up in the morning and realizing that there is a whole new day awaiting you. Hearing the birds sing and seeing the gentle glow of a sky warmed by a rising sun not yet visible is something I cherish. I found myself starting my day off praying and asking God for His blessings and direction. I lived these wonderful days while in Leading Tickles, Newfoundland. It is a small remote fishing village located on a charming and peaceful cove. My time there was the perfect place to remember God's meaning for creation and the simplicity of His love. As much as you may try, you could not escape from getting back to the basics and falling in love with life again. (Click here to read more.)

 

The Learning Experience: "I Don't Know"
question marks
Written by Julie Woodruff
 
The room was quiet for a moment's pause. Frustration was welling under our skin as we sat in the classroom. The conversation was ripe but no one wanted to breach the silence. No one wanted to answer the question the professor asked, Is the Christian worldview mixed with other worldviews or is the book we are reading wrong? There was too much at stake to answer. People would much rather say "This is stupid" and "I am just not interested in this conversation" than answer the question. No one wanted to open up the silence and see what lied underneath. No one wanted to admit that they were sort of curious of the answer. (Click here to read more.)

 

The Melting Pot
melting pot
Written by Edward Beck
 
Salman Rushdie once characterized his homeland of India as a crowd, and he explained that "a crowd is by its very nature superabundant, heterogeneous, many things at once." A Melting Pot, in contradistinction, is a crucible where a whole crowd might be drowned and made simply abundant and homogeneous.  The idea that America is that crucible-making a whole man from many members-is probably more hyperbole than reality and her fractured history has proven this time and again.
