A year or so later, Golson, a communication major, sat in a Theology of Worship class, wondering if she was in the right place. Her classmates were deeper into Cedarville’s music scene than she was; many were worship majors who played in chapel or on the traveling HeartSong ministry teams. She worried the class would be more about the music side of worship than the theology behind it. Her fears were quickly alleviated. Golson spent the whole semester furiously scribbling notes about the Scriptures’ teachings on the Sabbath, singing, prayer, fellowship, and other worship topics. But one day, Dr. Tom Hutchison, Professor of Educational Ministries and Applied Theology, said something that made Golson raise her hand. She needed to hear it again. “He said turning a light off when you go to bed is worship because you are trusting the Lord will continue to have control over the world and over your life as you sleep.” Golson never forgot it. “It completely altered how I think about trusting the Lord.” The lessons from that class did more than change her walk with the Lord; they inspired her to dedicate her future to Him. She hopes to use her communication skills in a ministry setting after she graduates. “ He said turning a light off when you go to bed is worship because you are trusting the Lord will continue to have control over the world and over your life as you sleep.” Golson never forgot it. “It completely altered how I think about trusting the Lord.” 21
