Spring 2023 Volume 11 Issue 1 FEATURES 2 COMMUNICATING THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD THOMAS WHITE Have you ever noticed humans are the only created beings to use words to communicate? This unique attribute is an image-bearing trait that sets us apart. With that comes great responsibility. Believers were created to communicate with purpose, telling the greatest story ever told. 4 THE CRAFTSMAN BEHIND CEDARVILLE COMMUNICATION HEIDIE (RAINE) SENSEMEN ’23 Young Jim Phipps ’68 didn’t think he’d end up at Cedarville College. He was Stanford-bound and hard-set against studying at Cedarville. But the Lord had different plans and turned this reluctant student into the leader who built the Department of Communication and impacted so many lives. 10 AT THE FOREFRONT OF ACADEMIC PRO-LIFE EDUCATION ANDREW HARRIS How can we aid the helpless and stand for truth? Andrew Harris has led the charge to create The Defending Life Summer Institute, equipping students with the tools to advocate for the unborn. 14 FROM WSRN TO RESOUND RADIO From WSRN to Resound Radio, from AM to FM, on air and online, Resound Radio has seen many changes throughout the years. Cedarville Magazine contacted Jim Leightenheimer ’80 to learn about his vision for WSRN and how it came to be Resound Radio as we know it today. 18 MUSINGS OF A WRITER NICK CARRINGTON ’08 How can you teach students to write in a way that brings glory to God? Words are powerful, and how we use them affects other people and reflects our witness. Our faculty members work hard to ensure they equip our students with the ability to use their words for God’s glory. 22 NO DEBATE ABOUT IT JEFF GILBERT ’87 Cedarville’s Forensics team has continued to dominate tournament after tournament as they debate and speak words of truth. Members of the forensics team are able to communicate truth in secular environments as they compete both regionally and nationally. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person. – Colossians 4:6 Cedarville Magazine | 1
