Last week on campus, four SFP events took place the week of Nov. 4-8, offering a total of six extra SFP credits.
The first event of the week was on Tuesday. A lecture took place in SUB 7 and was hosted by psychology professor Lori Mills, and theology and philosophy professor Phillip Kennesson. The event was called “Cultural Conversations” and was about Faith and Culture: a Biblical Calling for Diversity. The event offered one SFP credit.
The second event was the “Fields of Faith” hosted by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. It was held on Anglin Field on Wednesday. The event started off with a brief three-song worship service and then a speaker talked to the students about prayer.
Thursday’s event was “My2Words,” hosted by the Apostolos Missions Club, and it was held in the basement of Seeger Chapel. The event offered two SFP credits.
The first of the three speakers was Hannah Bell, a senior member of the track and cross country teams. She began with the story of her birth, and then she dove deep into her family’s history with mental illness. She then talked about how running helped her through everything she was going through in high school.
Next up was sophomore Sarah Marks. Her story touched on topics of abuse, both sexual and verbal. She talked about how when she was in high school, she sought out validation after previously asking herself the question daily “what is wrong with you?” She stated that her two words of the night were “broken” and “purpose.”
Alex Mortimer, a junior member of the track and cross country teams, spoke last. He described a night before starting his freshman year when he was attacked by a dog while running. He said he came face to face with the Lord and has been a follower of Christ ever since. His two words were “live” and “dead.”
The final event of the week was a Global Night of Prayer hosted by the International Justice Missions club. The event offered one SFP credit. To see a full recap on this event, check out the next edition of the Stampede print coming on Nov. 21.
