Profile: Pastor Ben Stuart
Dec 10, 2020 | By Serena Puang DC ‘22+1
Before coronavirus moved church online, Ben Stuart stood outside the Howard Theatre every weekend he preached there. He’d greet people as they left the service, answer questions they had about the talk, and hear about their lives. Any random person could just walk up and chat with him. I know because I was one of those people.
Not in a Hurry
Sept 20, 2020 | By Serena Puang DC ‘22 + 1
I came across “Not in a Hurry” at an Augustine Collective Conference in January, which now feels a world away. I was struck then by the lyrics because not being “in a hurry” is antithetical to my life at Yale. I am in a hurry! In fact, I rarely even listen to music because I’m in such a hurry that I don’t have time. After quarantine started, my extracurriculars and places to go were gone. I did the math, and between commuting and extracurriculars that no longer existed, I was allegedly saving 23 hours per week, but I was still rushing around.
Road Less Traveled
Aug 26, 2017 | Unknown
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
A Letter to Yale
Nov 14, 2012 | By Evelyn Robertson TC '15
Inspired by Revelation 2-3: An Imaginary Letter from Christ to His Beloved Servants at Yale
These are the words of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to my beloved ones at Yale, I know you perfectly (Jer. 1:5), every detail, every thought, every action (Ps. 139:2), for you were made through me (Col. 1:16), and still I also love you perfectly (Rom. 8:38-39), for you were made for me (Col 1:16). The Father has given you to me as a treasured possession (John 6:37) and I have pursued you with an unwavering love (Matt. 18:12-14) and through unimaginable sacrifice (John 10:11) to free you from sin and death. I am Yours, and You are Mine (Isa. 43:1-7).
Stepping Into the Bigger Story
By Serena Puang, DC ‘22. Serena is majoring in Linguistics.
Growing up in church, it was always assumed that we knew and believed in the fundamental goodness of God. We sang hymns about it and repeated it to each other so often that sometimes, I’ll admit, it became kind of like a joke: someone would share an annoyance from their week and punctuate it with “but God is good...all the time”.
But what does it mean to really believe that God is good especially when your circumstances aren’t?
