Guys talk about sports and girls talk about boys. Some things about college culture are the same wherever you go – even 7,000 miles away. “College students make some incredible cross-cultural missionaries. You could take a college student and drop them on a campus almost anywhere and the country’s culture might be different but it’s […]

Lady and Joy turned 18 and 19 this week, the same weekend as the university they mascot for turned 175. And to celebrate, Baylor threw a party with ice cream, photo ops and free shirts. […]

I just want Mickey D’s. Brothers-turned-bandmates Caleb and Will Chapman aren’t exempt from feeling “hangry” – even if they are onstage in front of a packed audience at Common Grounds. Nashville-based indie/rock band Colony House has come a long way since their first show outside Tennessee. Caleb and Will reminisce when half a decade ago, […]

Baylor didn’t need 400,000 roaring fans. It just needed 13 students. A few things happened in 1969. Apollo 11 sent Neil Armstrong to the moon.
