Unspoken, the new series by Campus Ministry, seeks to bring to light hidden topics or thoughts women have that because of shame are usually never talked about. This three-week series will deal with topics that women often experience with a concentration in shame and the things that women are ashamed of. The past few weeks, almost all the women’s restrooms have been decorated with pictures saying things like, “You’re not good enough,” “You’ll never be like her” or “You’re failing.” These are some of the things that are usually left unspoken, and that are going to be brought to light during the three encounters. This series begins Monday, April 8 and continues on April 15 and 22. It will be held in Ezell chapel at 7:30 p.m. and each conference will give one chapel...

Lipscomb University is known for Christian values, community work and students who give up their own time/money to go on mission trips. The university sends students out for mission trips during the summer, Christmas break, spring break and other times of the year. One of the spring break mission groups embarked on a medical mission trip to Honduras. The group went to help the Honduran people with medical situations and shared spiritual support along the way. One of the members of the Honduras team was sophomore Natalie Scarbrough, who will be in Lipscomb’s pharmacy program next year. “It was such a great experience. It’s completely different from the way we live here. I loved seeing and helping out the children,” Scarbrough said. The team set up a clinic for any one that needed medical attention, got to interact with the families and were able to spend time with the children. “This was an experience of a lifetime. If you have never been on a mission trip, I would highly recommend you go on one,” Scarbrough said. “Being there filled me with so much joy. I met some kids that have changed my life. It’s something I will always...

The words “Who will set me free?” covered Lipscomb’s campus during Resurrection Week, a week-long event sponsored by Campus Ministry. This special week at Lipscomb University seeks to answer the question. From March 25 to March 31, the Lipscomb community gathered as a family to proclaim the name of Jesus who died on the cross during the time of Passover and was resurrected to make us free from our sins. Campus ministry is working along with India Rescue Mission and End Slavery Tennessee with a common goal of raising $10,000 to fight against slavery and human trafficking. The United States still has 27 million people living in slavery and an unlimited number of people enslaved by their own sins, according to Farron Sutherland, a senior and intern for campus ministry. “Sin is kind of like chains,” Sutherland said. “[Sin] binds you. It keeps you captive. “Jesus in his Spirit and his grace provides us to be free from sin.” Resurrection Week was celebrated with a different event every day. So far this week, there has been a scripture reading with music, special speakers in the Gathering (President Lowry spoke on Thursday morning) and other learning opportunities that underlined the week’s theme. Thursday night, the “Set Them Free” Human Trafficking Awareness Event was held alongside Sanctuary at the Woodmont Hills Family of God. On Friday, there will be a “Remembering the Passion” Good Friday Service in the Doris Swang Chapel at 3 p.m. On Sunday at 9 p.m., a Communion Service will be held in the Flatt Amphitheater by the student center. If you are interested in donating to help eradicate...
