Bound Together by GraceNo one chooses the road of suffering, but sometimes God allows fellow travelers to ease the way.That was true for the Maxwell and White families. When their stories were marked by separate tragedies in 2025, they found themselves walking similar paths of loss, recovery, faith, and hope. Along the way, they discovered the strength of Christian community and the comfort that comes when God's people carry one another's burdens.On January 29, 2025, Dean and Merav Maxwell lost their daughter, Grace, a Cedarville University student, in the American Airlines crash over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. Just weeks later, on March 9, fellow Cedarville student Judah White was aboard a private plane that crashed shortly after takeoff in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. All five on board — Judah, his parents Matt and Trish, along with his sister Aliyah and her friend — survived, but both Judah and Matt sustained severe injuries that led to months of surgeries, recovery, and rehabilitation. While the circumstances differed, both families suddenly found themselves relying on the Lord — and each other — in ways they never imagined.Though one family was grieving a devastating loss and the other was facing a long road to recovery, both found themselves sustained by God's faithfulness expressed through His people.Family and friends carried much of the day-to-day burden, showing up with meals, helping hands, and willing hearts. Churches prayed and stood beside them through long and difficult days. Meanwhile, a wave of encouragement flowed from people they had never met, including Cedarville students, alumni, faculty, staff, and parents.For the Maxwells, much of that support came through stories about Grace.Grace was tenacious, disciplined, and exceptionally bright. An engineering student with a quick wit and a deep love for learning, she could have attended many universities, but she chose Cedarville because she wanted a place where she could grow in her faith while pursuing academic excellence.As they navigated grief and recovery, the two families found encouragement from one another. Their connection grew through the Cedarville community that had united around them, first in mourning the loss of Grace and then in praying for Judah and his family after the Lancaster crash. Together, they found strength in the prayers and support surrounding them.Recently, Dean, Merav, and Trish reflected on that journey during the Cedarville Stories podcast, sharing how God met them in difficult days through the faithfulness of His people.The road has not been easy. Yet both families have seen God's hand through the kindness of friends, the faithfulness of family, and the encouragement of a University community that cared enough to reach out, even from afar. Their story is a reminder that God often brings comfort through fellow travelers and that even in life's hardest moments, He remains faithful.https://share.transistor.fm/s/c4148f56https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOb7nGa1bV4 

Entrepreneurship With a Kingdom PurposeJosh Hochstedler has watched God use both hardship and opportunity to shape his definition of success. Along the way, his interest in entrepreneurship has become closely connected to a desire to impact lives, build Christian community, and help others pursue their God-given calling with confidence and purpose.A junior cyber operations major at Cedarville University, Josh recently shared his story on the Cedarville Stories podcast, reflecting on the experiences that have shaped both his faith and his vision for the future.Some of those lessons began during his childhood in Brazil, where he watched his father faithfully invest in the lives of others through ministry. Seeing the difference one person could make through consistent care, service, and encouragement left a lasting impression on Josh and helped cultivate his desire to serve others.Later, those early lessons were deepened through the heartbreaking losses of his brother and mother to cancer within two years of each other. Walking through that season taught Josh lessons that no classroom ever could. He learned that faith is not simply believing when life makes sense; it is trusting God when it doesn't. He learned that God's provision often comes through the people He places beside us. He also learned how deeply encouragement, presence, honesty, transparency, and genuine community can sustain someone through life's hardest moments.Those experiences continue to influence the way Josh approaches life today. He often returns to the lesson God has been teaching him about belief, trusting that God will provide, guide, and open doors as he faithfully takes the next step. Even after witnessing God's faithfulness in powerful ways, Josh knows that choosing faith remains a daily decision. Yet time and again, he has seen God work through both challenges and opportunities to lead him forward.That perspective has also transformed the way he thinks about entrepreneurship. While many people view business as a path to personal achievement, Josh sees it as a platform for serving others. The trials his family endured gave him a deeper appreciation for relationships and reinforced a conviction that people, not profits, must remain at the center of any lasting impact.helped strengthen that conviction. The experience reminded him that success finds its highest purpose when it is used to invest in people. It renewed his commitment to keep relationships at the center of everything he hopes to build and reinforced his desire to create opportunities that positively influence others.That people-first mindset also fuels Josh's passion for encouraging Christian entrepreneurs. Through events and gatherings, he has witnessed how isolating the entrepreneurial journey can sometimes feel. He has also seen how quickly people come alive when they discover others who share their vision and calling. Those moments have inspired him to help build stronger communities where Christian entrepreneurs can connect, encourage one another, share resources, and work together for a greater Kingdom impact.When Josh thinks about the legacy he hopes to leave behind, his answer is simple: people. He wants to invest in others the way so many have invested in him, walking alongside them, offering encouragement, and helping them grow in faith. The image that continues to guide him is one he shared on the podcast: believers linking arms, supporting one another through every season of life, and moving together toward heaven. In many ways, that vision captures both the lessons he has learned and the impact he hopes to leave behind.https://share.transistor.fm/s/dcd90ffdhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pwds-H7fffQ

Designing Solutions That Serve PeopleGabriel Payne thought he knew what his future should look like. After an aptitude test in high school pointed him toward engineering, the path seemed straightforward: attend a large, nationally recognized university and earn the kind of degree serious engineers were expected to pursue. Schools like Purdue, Northwestern, Harvard, and MIT stood at the top of his list. In Gabriel's mind, Christian universities simply could not offer the same level of engineering education.That mindset made his eventual decision even more surprising.As a homeschooled student, Gabriel always enjoyed learning and creating. He loved building with Legos and blocks in his family's Chicago home, asking questions, and exploring new ideas, but he never fit the future engineer stereotype of the kid constantly dismantling gadgets in the garage.Instead, his interest in engineering emerged gradually, growing through the realization that he loved solving problems and thinking analytically. Once he recognized that direction, he pursued it with determination and began searching for a program that would prepare him well for the future.Along the way, Cedarville University entered the conversation almost unexpectedly. Since it was his father's alma mater, Gabriel decided to visit campus, not expecting the experience to change anything. Instead, the visit challenged nearly every assumption he carried about Christian higher education. He found an engineering program that was academically rigorous and highly respected, but he also discovered something else he had not anticipated: a community where professors genuinely invested in students' lives.The more time Gabriel spent on campus, the more he realized Cedarville offered something larger universities often could not: the chance to grow academically, spiritually, and personally all at once.That realization changed everything.Now as a rising senior expecting to graduate in 2027, Gabriel is majoring in mechanical engineering with minors in biomedical engineering and Bible. Along the way, he has found opportunities that continue to confirm he made the right decision. Recently, he shared his experience on the Cedarville Stories podcast, describing how Cedarville has prepared him academically while also shaping his faith and sense of calling.One of the clearest examples has been his involvement in research addressing neck strain in military pilots caused by helmet design, an often-overlooked problem with real human consequences. Through Cedarville's close partnership with Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Gabriel has also gained access to mentorship, research, and hands-on development opportunities that have expanded both his technical skills and his understanding of how engineering can directly impact people's lives.Those experiences have not only strengthened Gabriel's confidence as an engineer but also clarified the kind of work he hopes to pursue after graduation. As technology advances through artificial intelligence, aerospace innovation, and biomedical engineering, he wants to work where “tech and the human body intersect,” developing solutions that improve lives rather than simply pursuing innovation for its own sake.For Gabriel Payne, engineering has become far more than designing systems or solving technical problems. It is a calling rooted in creativity, knowledge, and faith and an opportunity to serve people well and ensure that the human side of technology is never forgotten.https://share.transistor.fm/s/a4e7eb53https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUKBKTjjKLI

A Win-Win FaithCarlos Hidalgo was alone in the fitness center at his church on December 1, 2025, working through his normal exercise routine, when pain hit with terrifying force. He would later describe it as feeling like a bomb had exploded inside his head.At first, the 1993 Cedarville University graduate tried to shake it off. He got in his car and started driving home. But then he saw something that stopped him cold: an oncoming truck appeared only halfway in his field of vision.That was when Carlos knew this was no ordinary headache. He turned the car toward the emergency room, not knowing that a hemorrhagic stroke had already begun changing the course of his day, his family, and his story.Before that frightening drive to the emergency room, Carlos had already spent years thinking about what makes a life successful. It was a question he had carried from his Cedarville days into his work with business leaders, and one he has had to answer in his own heart.Many of his Cedarville classmates still know him by his lifelong nickname, “Bumper.” Today, Carlos operates his own business as an advisor, coach, and encourager to executives, helping leaders look past money, status, and empire-building to consider what matters most.He knows how easily those lesser measures can take hold. More than a decade ago, Carlos came to see success differently. For him, it means living for Jesus, loving well, and finding joy in each day God provides.That hard-earned understanding became an anchor in the hospital, where the days stretched long and the questions grew heavy. During the first week, Carlos experienced a second stroke, and Susanne, his wife of 31 years and a fellow Cedarville graduate, found herself facing the question no spouse ever wants to ask: “Will I be a widow?”Still, fear did not get the last word.Carlos and Susanne leaned hard into prayer, and God's people quickly gathered around them. Their church family prayed, thousands more joined in, and when Carlos was life-flighted to Albany, eight friends from church reached the hospital before Susanne. Cedarville friends they had not seen in more than 30 years stepped close again too, helping with medical expenses and reminding the Hidalgos just how far the love of Christ can reach.Even in the middle of that uncertainty, Carlos saw the road ahead with remarkable peace and clarity. He called it a “win-win.” If he died, he would be with Jesus. If he lived, he would receive the gift of more time with his family.Carlos recently shared his story on the Cedarville Stories podcast. With the weight of someone who has looked eternity in the face, he delivered a simple message: Don't drift through life waiting for someday. Share the Gospel. Show the love of Jesus. Hold fast to love and truth.“God has called us to today,” Carlos says, “so get after it!”https://share.transistor.fm/s/f572d3f9https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC7ZY9gtbrQ

Finding Hope in Invisible GriefDrew Hensley has a way of stepping into people's troubles with the steady kindness of a pastor who knows Jesus meets us there. A 2007 graduate of Cedarville University, he now serves as a pastor in Charleston, South Carolina, with a heart for local church ministry and a deep compassion for people in pain.His compassion is rooted in the heart of Jesus, who sees people, welcomes them, and cares for them with steady mercy. Drew has tried to mirror that same kind of care in his own ministry, and that shepherding heart has shaped not only how he serves others but how he and his wife, Laura, have walked through their own struggles.Drew and Laura followed the Lord's calling with trust — even when that calling led them far from home to plant a church in Seattle. Adding to the bumpy road was the news that they could not have biological children. That loss cracked something open in them, and out of that ache came Invisible Grief.In Invisible Grief, Drew writes for the quiet sorrow many people carry — the kind that hides beneath a smile when hopes, dreams, and good desires do not come to fruition.He writes for those living with chronic illness, singleness, infertility, and other unseen wounds, offering the kind of encouragement that comes from both Scripture and experience. His voice is tender, honest, and full of hope, because he knows grief often does its deepest work in the hidden places.Through seasons of grief and prayer, Drew and Laura discovered that God had not abandoned them in the dark. He met them there. He gave them grace to keep trusting, and in time, He showed them His goodness in surprising ways. The adoption of their son, Silas, worked out through circumstances that only the Lord could arrange. Along the way, Drew says their relationship with God grew even closer, more intimate, and more hopeful.That same hope fills the pages of Invisible Grief. Drew's great encouragement is simple and sturdy: God sees, God knows, and God will restore all things.On the Cedarville Stories podcast, Drew shared his journey with the same honesty and warmth that permeate his book, pointing listeners to an everlasting hope big enough to hold both joy and grief — one that never lets sorrow have the final word.https://share.transistor.fm/s/293299e8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tf_ZLHE9sk

Sheep, Stage Lights, and ScriptureLong before Abigail King set foot on the stage at Cedarville University, she was already dreaming of a life that would combine her greatest loves: animals and theatre. Even as a little girl growing up in sunny Florida, she imagined a future where the joy of performance could meet the companionship of creatures great and small.That dream stayed with her, and when it came time to choose a college, Cedarville was the right place.Abigail stepped onto campus with a dream in her heart, but she had no clear map for how it would unfold. She thought she might pursue a degree in something with animals, but biology didn't quite suit her. It wasn't long before she found her way to the theatre department — a place that embraced her creative spirit and gave her room to grow.Abigail fell in love with theatre, believing it was where God would transform her more than she ever expected.As she recently shared on the Cedarville Stories podcast, Abigail is now living out that childhood dream in the most unexpected and delightful way — as an animal trainer at Sight and Sound Theatres in Branson, Missouri. There, amidst the spectacle of biblical productions, she helps bring stories from Scripture to life by working with the animals that share the stage with actors, lights, and music.“Sometimes our sheep are a little too friendly,” she laughed. “They'll stop in the middle of the show to hang out with David. The audience eats it up, but we're in the back whispering, ‘Go, go, go!'”Abigail also serves in the theatre's after-show ministry, where cast and crew meet guests for prayer and conversation. “It's such a blessing to connect with people after the show,” she said. “We get to be part of something much bigger.”Though she hopes to one day work with service animals and children, Abigail is joyfully rooted where God has her right now. “This is the dream,” she said. “I'm just following where He leads.”With a heart full of gratitude and a barn full of well-trained animals, Abigail King is living proof that when you trust God with your gifts, He'll write a story better than you imagined.https://share.transistor.fm/s/d9e14c0bhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnJFMaruzdw

A Calling Shaped by ProvidenceShannon Yarosz's story bears the marks of God's providence. Often, that providence feels ordinary in the moment and only later reveals how lovingly the story has been arranged. On the Cedarville Stories podcast, Shannon reflected on a journey shaped by science, compassion, and a deep desire to serve others well.That calling began to take shape during her years at The Ohio State University, where she studied microbiology. She loved science and the discovery that came with it, yet she also wanted her work to touch people's lives in practical, everyday ways. Pharmacy became a natural fit, giving her the opportunity to pair scientific knowledge with personal care and to step into people's questions and concerns with help that truly mattered.As Shannon moved through school, training, and professional life, God kept placing people in her path. Several of those individuals would later become her colleagues in Cedarville University's School of Pharmacy. At the time, those encounters may have seemed small and unremarkable. Looking back, they tell a different story. They reveal the Lord's quiet faithfulness in leading her to a place where her work and faith could flourish together.That spirit of service is easy to see in Ask the Pharmacist, a community education program produced in partnership with a local television station. Through that outreach, Shannon answers healthcare questions and shares practical medication guidance for viewers seeking clear, trustworthy help. She has a gift for making difficult topics easier to understand, and she meets each question with both professional knowledge and genuine kindness. She wants people to feel prepared to care for themselves and their families.Her life also has a joyful rhythm beyond the classroom and clinic. Shannon is a wife, mom, and working professional who makes room for fun alongside responsibility. Her family loves hockey, and she has gladly joined in. Her children cheer from the sidelines, sometimes with a little laughter, and her husband records videos with playful commentary. Whether she is guiding students, helping viewers, or laughing with her family at the rink, Shannon lives with a steady joy that makes her work shine.https://share.transistor.fm/s/283a18bbhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGo185Ddzho

A Steady Rhythm of HopeDr. Lou Lilite learned hope in the hard soil of Haiti. He grew up in a ministry family surrounded by the daily realities of poverty, where need was easy to see and impossible to ignore. Yet even there, God planted gifts and purpose in his life.Through his parents' example, Lou learned that faith looks beyond what is missing and trusts God's provision even before it comes into view. Over time, that steady confidence became part of who he was. Music also became one of the ways God directed his life. It helped form his calling and opened his eyes to a future he could not yet see.In time, those early lessons and that growing sense of purpose led him toward one of the longest journeys of his life. For two and a half years, Lou worked to come to America, pressing through 13 applications before the opportunity finally came. With each application, he kept moving toward the future God was opening before him, one closely tied to the music that had become part of his calling. Even after he arrived, the road did not suddenly become easy.Lou still faced hardship, adjustment, and disappointment, but he chose to focus on blessings instead of bitterness, and that choice gave his life a steady, hopeful rhythm. He learned to keep moving forward with open hands, grateful for what God had provided and trusting Him for what came next.Today, as a professor of music at Cedarville University, Lou teaches more than technique, theory, or performance. He carries a deep love for people and a heart tuned to hope. Students and neighbors alike encounter someone who has not forgotten where he came from or the grace that carried him.That is one reason he visits Haitian immigrants in nearby Springfield, Ohio. He wants them to hear from someone who has walked that difficult road, understands both the strain and the perseverance, and can say honestly that hope is worth holding onto.Lou also wants fellow believers to respond to immigrants with the compassion and openness of Christ. He sees a beautiful parallel in the Gospel itself: Jesus made a way for sinners to leave behind the death of sin and enter the life of Christ. In the same spirit, Lou believes Christians should welcome others with mercy, dignity, and care.When Lou shared his story on the Cedarville Stories podcast, that message rang clear. Hope shaped him in Haiti, sustained him in America, and now flows through his music, teaching, and ministry to others.https://share.transistor.fm/s/61d4e8b6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAcDgRcbFdU

Held by God Through Every TrialBrandon Stover's story is marked by God's faithful presence through both unexpected joy and deep hardship. As he prepares to graduate from Cedarville University with a degree in special education, he does so with a heart shaped by struggle, strengthened by grace, and anchored in the steady leadership of the Lord.When Brandon came to Cedarville, he found much more than a place to earn a degree. He found a Christ-centered community that welcomed him, cared for him, and showed him the love of God in everyday ways.Through friendships, professors, and the ordinary rhythms of campus life, Brandon began to see that Cedarville was a place where faith was lived out. That sense of belonging became one of the sweetest parts of his journey. As he recently shared on the Cedarville Stories podcast, God's hand was evident in every chapter, gently reminding him that he was never walking alone.But Brandon's college years also carried deep pain.Just weeks into his first semester, Brandon's mom was involved in a tragic car accident. In an instant, he and his family were thrown into a season of fear, grief, and urgent prayer. So much felt uncertain, yet God met them there. He brought comfort in the middle of heartbreak and reminded Brandon that even when life changes suddenly, the Lord remains present and faithful.Then, Brandon faced a crisis of his own when he experienced an 18-hour seizure and was diagnosed with Functional Neurologic Disorder. What followed was not just a medical challenge but a deeply personal one marked by memory loss, uncertainty about the future, and the painful realization that life no longer felt the same.Coming back to Cedarville after that experience was humbling. Brandon has spoken honestly about the embarrassment he felt at first and the uncertainty that followed.Yet it was there, in one of the hardest parts of his story, that God's care became especially clear. Friends surrounded him with love. People who had simply heard what happened came forward to offer support. Professors met him with patience and compassion.In that season, Brandon did not just endure hardship; he experienced the Lord's kindness through a community that refused to let him walk alone.That perspective has deepened his calling. Brandon knows many students need more than instruction. They need someone who can look at them with patience, dignity, and hope and credibly say, “I understand.” His story has prepared him to be that kind of teacher.As Brandon steps into what comes next, he does so with a deeper confidence in the God who has already guided him this far. He is trusting the Lord to open the right doors as he begins looking for a teaching position, and he carries with him a compassion shaped by all he has walked through.Brandon's life reflects a quiet but steady truth: God has been near in every hardship, faithful in every unknown, and kind enough to prepare him to care well for the students He will one day place in his classroom.https://share.transistor.fm/s/6278ab34https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j19mCpGnerg

A Song of Worship in the Midst of Motherhood In the quiet, faithful work of motherhood, Renee (O'Neal) Sallee '10 has learned a truth strong enough to carry both a family and a song: God is enough. That conviction now rests at the heart of her music, ministry, and home. A 2010 graduate of Cedarville University with a degree in early childhood education, Renee records music as Renee Leanne, creating songs that rise out of worship and gently invite others to do the same. Her album, Lift Your Eyes, carries that invitation with warmth and hope, urging listeners to turn from the weight of their burdens and fix their hearts on the faithfulness of God. She and her husband, fellow Cedarville grad Brian Sallee '07, are raising four boys in a season full of noise, movement, and holy responsibility. In the middle of that full life, Renee has learned that worship is not confined to a platform or a microphone. As she shared on the Cedarville Stories podcast, worship begins with a surrendered heart, “on your knees, looking up.” That posture has shaped the way she sings, mothers, and serves. There is a homespun tenderness in the way Renee talks about ministry to women. She hopes her music can travel “from one rocking chair to another,” meeting mothers in the quiet places where much of their faithfulness unfolds. She understands the ministry of repetition, the long afternoons, the whispered prayers, and the deep need for strength that does not come from self. Her message is simple and deeply comforting: The Lord sees, stays near, and is worthy of praise in every season. That is why Renee especially wants to encourage mothers who are carrying the quiet weight of daily faithfulness. She knows many women are pouring themselves out in unseen ways, and she wants them to remember that worship is not one more task to accomplish; it is a grace that lifts the heart and roots the soul. In worship, believers are formed by truth. In worship, parents learn to lead with humility and hope. In worship, children begin to see what faithful love looks like in daily life. Homes grow stronger when they are shaped by the joy of belonging to the one true God. Through Lift Your Eyes, her testimony, and the life she is building with her family, Renee offers a hopeful witness. God receives every surrendered voice, strengthens every trusting heart, and uses worship to build faithful believers, godly parents, and children who learn to follow Him.https://share.transistor.fm/s/81469219https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkbN0kvq078

Behind the MusicBehind the scenes at K-LOVE and Air1, ministry feels deeply personal.What listeners hear as a song, a familiar voice, or a timely word starts long before the microphone turns on. It begins with a team that believes what people listen to really matters because what fills the mind often shapes the heart.That belief fuels the work of Cedarville University graduates Jim Houser '91, Chief Radio Officer; Mandy Young '99, Vice President of Radio; and Steve Shore '02, Music Platform Program Manager.Together, they help lead a ministry that reaches far beyond radio towers and playlists. Every song choice, on-air moment, and programming decision is shaped by a clear purpose: to bring hope, encouragement, and the truth of Christ into everyday life.What gives the ministry its reach is the thoughtful work that happens long before a song ever plays. Off the air, teams are praying, planning, listening, and asking what people need most.They understand that music does more than fill silence. It can reset a home after a hard day, bring peace into a tense commute, or turn someone's thoughts back toward God when anxiety starts to rise. That daily care shapes every part of the network, creating a sound that is hopeful, grounded, and centered on Jesus.That is why K-LOVE and Air1 continue to make such a lasting difference: In a noisy world, they offer something steady and life-giving. They encourage believers who need hope for today and welcome people who may be hearing about Jesus for the first time.The ministry's future is just as inspiring as its present. As K-LOVE and Air1 keep growing across radio, digital platforms — now reaching 18 million people a week — and new ways of connecting with listeners, their mission remains clear: meet people where they are and point them to Jesus.Houser, Young, and Shore recently talked about the impact of Christian radio on the Cedarville Stories podcast. Their conversation offered a warm glimpse into a ministry that keeps showing up, serving faithfully, and changing lives one song or story at a time.https://share.transistor.fm/s/733ca10fhttps://youtu.be/OkQlfbPKsps

From Cedarville to K-LOVEThree Cedarville broadcasting alumni now serve in senior leadership at K-LOVE and Air1 Media Networks — and their shared story is as meaningful as it is remarkable.Jim Houser '91, Chief Radio Officer; Mandy Young '99, Vice President of Radio; and Steve Shore '02, Music Platform Program Manager, are each helping lead the largest contemporary Christian music radio network in the country.When the three joined the Cedarville Stories podcast, they shared memories, laughed about their college days, and reflected on the people and moments at Cedarville that helped shape them long before they stepped into executive leadership.Again and again, their conversation pointed back to the same theme: Cedarville prepared them for the industry and ministry. Through the broadcasting program, influential faculty, and the University's steady commitment to biblical truth, they developed the skills, conviction, and faith that continue to guide their leadership today.For Jim Houser, that journey was especially personal. He recalled coming to Cedarville after losing his father and feeling spiritually untethered. On the drive to campus, he heard Christian radio for the first time — a moment that became part of God's gentle redirection in his life. Looking back, it is easy to see how the Lord used that season, and Cedarville itself, to shape both his calling and his future in Christian media.The trio also spoke with deep gratitude about Cedarville's commitment to “the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ.” That foundation, they shared, has remained a constant anchor in both life and leadership.Today, Houser, Young, and Shore are serving at the highest levels of Christian radio, reaching more than 18 million worldwide each day with excellence, humility, and purpose. Their story is a powerful reminder that Cedarville graduates are not only entering the field — they are helping lead it.https://share.transistor.fm/s/58f0cbbchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKhcIb68NeA

Celebrating $205.8 Million and Future Cedarville SphereThe future of Cedarville University seems to rise right out of the waters of Cedar Lake on the latest Cedarville Stories podcast.The conversation opens with the kind of news that gives Cedarville plenty to celebrate. Dr. Will Smallwood, Cedarville's Vice President for Advancement, reflects on the strong finish of the 1000 Days Transformed Campaign, which raised a record-setting $205.8 million. He describes a campus humming with momentum — scholarships are transforming students' lives, new facilities reshaping daily routines, and generous gifts strengthening Cedarville's mission for years to come.That momentum is already showing up across campus. Students are learning in new and upgraded spaces, living in expanded housing, and stepping into opportunities that would have seemed out of reach only a few years ago. Smallwood points to the growing number of students serving with Global Outreach teams, discipleship thriving in residence halls and chapel, and a University determined to remain faithful to its mission. Cedarville, he explains, is not simply enjoying the success of a completed campaign. It is stewarding those gifts carefully and putting them to work right now.That makes the next part of the conversation sound even more believable.As attention turns to rumors about Cedarville's future, one idea begins to loom larger than the rest: the Cedarville Sphere. Not a simple bridge over the lake. Not merely another campus building. A sphere. A striking, immersive, 100,000-square-foot venue rising in the middle of Cedar Lake, wrapped in a 360-degree LED display and designed to reimagine chapel, classes, concerts, and even athletic events. With talk of renderings, architectural conversations, innovation, and a projected $400 million price tag, the vision sounds ambitious but not impossible for a University riding a wave of growth and generosity.In fact, it sounds like classic Cedarville — daring, distinctive, and centered on student transformation. The vision feels bold, but not outlandish for a University fresh off a historic campaign and full of forward-looking energy. For most of the episode, the Cedarville Sphere stands there in the imagination like the next big step, a landmark-sized symbol of a campus already expanding in remarkable ways.But beware of the loftiness of the idea. In fact, you'll want to stay tuned to the entire program to dissect fact from fiction on this special April podcast.Clearly, the playful ending of the Cedarville Sphere does not take away from the larger story. It sharpens it. Cedarville may not be building a glowing globe on Cedar Lake, but it is clearly building something lasting in the lives of its students.https://share.transistor.fm/s/77f2c625https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5JI5Gi4NlY

Helping Foster Teens Find Their PlaceFifteen years ago, Eric '03 and Kara (Howe) '04 Gilmore began noticing a pattern that would not let them rest. Teenagers in Arkansas entered foster care or aged out with little consistent support. In fact, many reached legal adulthood without housing, reliable work, or someone to call family.Their Cedarville University years had planted a conviction in them to care for the vulnerable and pursue those who are forgotten. That conviction took on a new urgency as Eric and Kara opened their home to teens as foster parents and watched how quickly hope could fray without steady relationships. Those up-close experiences led them to launch Immerse Arkansas in Little Rock.Immerse Arkansas opened as a small, hospitable space and grew into a community that mixes practical help with consistent presence. A teen's first visit often looks practical and tender: a hot meal, a warm shower, clothes, if needed, an offer of prayer, and someone who will listen. These small acts of kindness create room for trust.A weekly Tuesday gathering anchors that trust. Around a shared meal, mentors, volunteers, and participants trade stories, celebrate milestones, and sometimes sit in silence. The rhythm of the gathering — familiar faces, ordinary conversation, and steady hospitality — provides many young people with the only place where they feel seen.Staff and volunteers continue to walk alongside young people in a hands-on way — listening, encouraging, and celebrating small wins while helping with interviews, applications, and connections to housing or transportation. Some teens stop by once; others stay for months and even join an alumni circle that still calls Immerse home. On average, participants engage for about a year, a season the team uses to open doors and plan next steps.The Gilmores measure success in human terms: a steady paycheck, a key to an apartment, or a returned smile. They also carry a clear aim — if a teen must enter foster care, Arkansas should be the best place in the nation to be there. Churches, state partners, and local organizations have embraced that vision and are working with Immerse to strengthen the safety net.Eric and Kara recently shared the story of Immerse on the Cedarville Stories podcast, reflecting on how their campus seasons shaped their calling and how, 15 years on, Immerse keeps offering practical support, steady relationships, and a place many young people can call home.https://share.transistor.fm/s/1f11b28ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq75Ira96d0

Walking With Lyme, Walking With GodSam Sofio carried a simple dream of attending Christian university where faith wasn't an accessory but the air everyone breathed. He pictured chapel worship and professors who prayed before class. He also sensed a calling to tell stories that point people to God.Then his health took a hard turn, and money worries crept in.He woke up bone-tired no matter how long he slept. Headaches throbbed behind his eyes, his joints ached, and his mind stayed foggy. Ordinary days started to feel like hills with no summit, and his dream began to look expensive and impossible.Sam refused to pretend it didn't hurt. He carried his questions to the Lord, sometimes through clenched teeth, and he learned a quiet truth: God never stepped back. In long nights and slow mornings, Sam found the Father near — steady, faithful, and kind.He spent many hours searching for answers. He clicked through articles and forums. He tried to name what was stealing his strength and hope to attend a Christian university. When Lyme disease finally entered the conversation, it brought relief and new complexity at the same time. Treatments took patience, and setbacks took humility. Chronic illness demanded daily courage. Still, God met Sam in his struggles and comforted him so he could comfort others.Little by little, God kept Sam's dream alive. Doors opened, and provision came when it mattered most. Strength arrived in measured portions — enough for the next step. As the fog lifted just enough to see forward, one path came into focus: the Christian campus he had prayed for.That path led him to Cedarville University. The suffering didn't end, yet God kept Sam steady through it. Cedarville became the place where Sam could keep healing, learning, and walking with the Lord.Now, Sam studies professional writing and information design as a junior. He hopes, Lord willing, to serve a Christian nonprofit like Samaritan's Purse after graduating in 2027. He wants to tell on-the-ground stories that help prayer partners and donors see what God is doing.Sam doesn't waste his scars. He advocates for others battling Lyme disease and other chronic illnesses, speaking up so they don't feel invisible, and he's shared his journey in places he never imagined. From a Health and Human Services panel to a conversation with HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., Sam carries one steady message wherever God sends him: The Lord meets people in suffering, and He stays.https://share.transistor.fm/s/8aeede8bhttps://youtu.be/6y9qK0R8LbY

A Story Bigger Than FootballRedemption opens like a familiar football story — with helmets, stadium lights, and the pressure to win — but quickly clarifies its real focus: Jesus changing lives inside The Ohio State Buckeyes' program.Available through The Wonder Project on Amazon Prime, this docuseries follows an ongoing spiritual revival that can't be measured on a scoreboard. Behind it are two unlikely executive producers: Marlee and Matt Benson, a husband-and-wife duo who stepped into filmmaking because they believed the message mattered.When Marlee shared how Redemption became a reality on the Cedarville Stories podcast, she made one thing clear: She and Matt didn't start as film professionals. Marlee is a 2021 Cedarville University graduate with a degree in communication, and she and Matt are simply people who love sports and Jesus. They were surprised to find themselves telling a story so much bigger than their own experiences.The docuseries idea was sparked at church. Marlee and Matt listened as former Buckeye tight end Gee Scott Jr. shared his testimony, and the idea arrived with clarity. They needed to share what God has been doing in and through these players.Marlee and Matt didn't have a roadmap, so they prayed. They prayed when they felt unqualified, when the logistics looked impossible, and when the responsibility of representing real people and real faith felt heavy.Then, the prayers started turning into tangible steps. A production company came alongside them. Funding followed in the form of hundreds of thousands of dollars that seemed out of reach for two newcomers. And as the project grew, it gained the backing of former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow, lending his credibility and support to a story centered on Christ rather than fame.Even with resources, the hardest work stayed relational. Marlee and Matt had to tell the stories of multiple players who stood for Christ without flattening them into slogans. They had to earn trust deep enough for players to share truthfully, not carefully. They chose transparency because the message mattered more than the optics: Jesus transforms lives, and that transformation gives hope in the middle of pressure, performance, and public scrutiny.As the story took shape, Marlee kept noticing how the players talked about prayer: not as a lever to pull for wins but as a way to stay close to God when life doesn't go the way they want. Gee Scott Jr. puts words to it near the end of the series: People sometimes treat prayer like a path to a national championship, but God doesn't promise that. What He promises, as Romans 8:28 says, is to work all things together for good for those who love Him, even when the “all things” include delays, doubts, and hard conversations.By the time Redemption was finished, Marlee realized the story had been working on her, too, reshaping how she saw faith in the middle of pressure and performance. Watching players talk about Christ's joy shook her out of spiritual routine. Their excitement renewed her own faith and reminded her that God still changes people in the present tense.That's the quiet thread running through the whole project. Two fans stepped forward with open hands, not because they were experts, but because they were willing storytellers for God's glory. They pursued excellence, faced obstacles honestly, and kept praying through every unknown, driven by the belief that if even one person met Jesus through this story, it would be worth it. And in the end, Marlee and Matt watched God create hope on the screen through testimonies that kept echoing long after the credits rolled.https://share.transistor.fm/s/f5a8343bhttps://youtu.be/tqF2jbZdyAc

Stocking Classrooms, Building FuturesA first-year teacher stands in an empty classroom with a key in her hand and a knot in her stomach. Twenty-six desks. Bare walls. One loud thought: School starts soon, and the room has almost nothing.Dr. Megan Brown, an associate professor of education at Cedarville University, knows that moment well. Coursework can cover research and best practices. Training can shape strong habits. Still, the first year in a real classroom brings a different kind of weight — especially when the space begins as a blank slate.Megan teaches literacy courses to future educators, and she talks plainly about what teaching requires. Learning is hands-on. Students need materials in their fingers so ideas can stick in their minds. Yet school budgets only stretch so far. Families can only do so much. Teachers often fill the gaps with their own money: pencils, tissues, notebooks, cleaning supplies, even backpacks. For a new teacher, those costs add up quickly.That's where Malena Ball comes in. A 2022 Cedarville graduate with a degree in strategic communication, Malena now serves as marketing director for Crayons to Classrooms. In that role, she helps connect educators to practical, personal support. The Dayton-area nonprofit provides free classroom supplies for teachers in 144 schools, reaching more than 50,000 students through the teachers it serves.Malena has watched teachers push carts down the aisles and still expect a bill. “How much do I owe?” they ask, looking at the price tags left on some items to show their value. Volunteers smile back. “Nothing.” Relief softens shoulders, and gratitude shows up as tears. Being seen does that.Crayons to Classrooms stocks the consumables that disappear by October — glue sticks, erasers, paper, pencils. But Malena calls it more than a resource center. It's a care center. Teachers find air filters, hygiene products, Band-Aids, sanitizer, and tissues. Those supplies don't just serve learning. They support dignity, comfort, and confidence.Megan watched one new teacher arrive after visiting her classroom for the first time. Empty room. End of July. No paycheck yet. She left with two full carts squeezed into a small car and a face filled with relief. Now there was something to build with.That “something” reaches far past academics. A spare notebook helps a student keep up. A backpack handed quietly to a child in foster care says, “This is yours.” A pencil offered without a lecture says, “You matter here.”Megan and Malena shared these stories on the Cedarville Stories podcast. Their message? Equip teachers with training, care, and supplies. When teachers feel supported, students feel it too. And that feeling can shape those students' futures.https://share.transistor.fm/s/7fa1e2bdhttps://youtu.be/_4X2P8hjSuk

Secret Service and the Zero-Fail MissionThe U.S. Secret Service lives by a simple standard: zero fail. Every route, every rooftop, and every split-second decision demands excellence because the mission leaves no room for mistakes.Jeff Rinehart has built his career around that expectation. The 1993 Cedarville University graduate has spent nearly three decades with the Secret Service, rising into senior leadership and carrying the weight of protecting the nation and serving its government with quiet professionalism.To most people, the Secret Service looks like dark suits, earpieces, and sunglasses. Rinehart understands the mystique, but he points to something deeper. The heart of the work, he says, is service — service to the United States, to its government, and to the people who rely on it.That sense of purpose demands steady discipline. In a job where one mistake can change history, Rinehart has pursued excellence the way a craftsman pursues a clean finish: by doing the small things right every day. He has protected dignitaries and worked alongside world leaders, but he also recognizes that the agency's mission stretches far beyond what the cameras capture.The Secret Service investigates cybercrime and financial fraud, and Rinehart speaks about those cases with real conviction. When agents stop someone from draining a senior citizen's life savings, the work matters. When they track down cyber predators who exploit children online, the reward runs even deeper. He does not glamorize the job. He honors it, and he honors the people it helps.Over the years, Rinehart has stepped up to a wide range of assignments. He served on the presidential detail for President George W. Bush, handled sensitive work as a foreign attaché officer, and built cases as a criminal investigator. Each role demanded the same steady excellence day after day, whether anyone is watching or not.In his current role, Rinehart has helped keep President Donald Trump safe during multiple visits overseas, including trips to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Those miles add another layer to the mission: unfamiliar terrain, shifting schedules, and constant coordination with host nations. Still, the expectation never changes. The detail must run clean, the planning must hold, and the team must be ready for anything.Rinehart recently shared his story as a guest on the Cedarville Stories podcast. In his trademark steady way, he made it clear that the Secret Service is more than an image. It is a calling to serve something bigger than oneself and a daily commitment to excellence in a mission where “zero fail” is not a tagline but a promise.https://share.transistor.fm/s/93bc077dhttps://youtu.be/YtBjp1nYnOM

Big League HopesPayton Eeles and Tanner Gillis are living their baseball dreams. Both former Yellow Jacket baseball players are moving closer to the major leagues and learning that the climb is rarely clean and never entirely predictable.Baseball is a sport of failure that teaches a person to live between what's hoped for and what's in hand. There's always another series, another chance, and another day to get better. Payton has carried his dream since childhood, the sort of long-held desire that feels as natural as a glove on his left hand. Tanner's path has required the same steady grit — the willingness to keep showing up, keep competing, and keep believing that today's work matters even when tomorrow's roster is unknown.What sets their story apart isn't just the pursuit but the posture. The game can tempt players to measure life in innings pitched, box scores, and call-ups. Yet Payton and Tanner's grounding runs deeper. They've learned to trust God's timing the way a good ballplayer trusts the process: staying disciplined, resisting panic, and letting the season unfold one pitch at a time. Some prayers get answered quickly; others develop like a slow-breaking curve — still true, still on the way, still under control.That big-picture perspective came through recently on the Cedarville Stories podcast, where both players reflected on baseball, faith, and the steadying confidence that comes from believing there's a plan even when the details aren't visible yet. They shared that when Cedarville friends show up in the stands, it turns the whole thing into something warmer than a career climb. It becomes a reminder that the journey is meant to be carried with others and that gratitude can keep ambition from getting too loud.For Eeles and Gillis, the aim is still the big leagues, but the deeper goal is staying steady — playing hard, staying humble, and trusting the Author of the story to call the right pitch at the right time.https://share.transistor.fm/s/691f2d02https://youtu.be/wTqebZT93_k

Dr. Jared Pincin: Fantasy Sports and Real ConvictionsSome of the most lasting lessons in life don't come from classrooms or textbooks but from watching the people closest to you do hard things without complaint. For Dr. Jared Pincin, those lessons were learned early by watching his college-educated father take whatever work was necessary to provide for his family, even when that meant working as a janitor at McDonald's during a tough recession.Pincin, associate professor of economics at Cedarville University since 2023, isn't just an expert in market theory. He's a man shaped by humble beginnings, hard-earned wisdom, and a heart for guiding young people well.Born and raised in Whitehall, Pennsylvania, Jared grew up watching his parents navigate life's ups and downs with grit and grace. His dad took that janitorial job during an economic downturn. He never showed bitterness or complained; he simply did what was needed to care for his family. That quiet determination left a lasting mark. Jared's own first job, stocking shelves for Nabisco, became a lesson in humility and trusting God's timing.His journey into economics began in middle school, sparked by a visiting stockbroker on career day. That interest grew through high school internships and eventually led him to earn a PhD. Though he didn't initially plan on teaching, the doors to academia opened, and he found joy in the classroom, especially in connecting with students and helping them think deeply about real-world choices.On a recent episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast, Jared shared more than just economic insight. He spoke candidly about his past involvement in fantasy sports and how it gradually led him to question the role of sports betting in his life. What started as a harmless March Madness bracket in high school ended with a suspension and a turning point. Over time, he began to see gambling not just as a financial risk but as a spiritual one.Today, alongside Cedarville colleague Colonel (Ret.) Greg Thompson, he speaks to students about the hidden dangers of sports betting, particularly how easy access and secrecy can foster habits with long-term consequences. It's not about legalism, he says, but stewardship and wisdom.Jared's story is one of thoughtful faith, honest work, and a calling to prepare the next generation not just for the workforce but for life.https://share.transistor.fm/s/f745bac4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-v5CZjqM4I

From Czech Courts to a Global CallingOndrej Plasil grew up in the Czech Republic with a basketball in his hands and a competitive spirit in his heart. The game gave him direction, discipline, and drive. But underneath it all, he was quietly searching for something more.In a country where faith is often absent or minimized, Ondrej didn't grow up in a strong Christian environment. He knew about God, but the idea of following Jesus personally felt distant. That began to change when he encountered believers who lived differently — people whose lives radiated joy, purpose, and hope that couldn't be explained by talent or success alone.Through a series of providential moments, Ondrej and his family came to know Christ as Savior, Lord, and Friend. That decision changed everything. His identity was no longer rooted in performance or approval but in grace. His view of life, success, and even basketball was transformed.That journey brought him to Cedarville University, where he's now a sophomore studying business management. Here, he stepped into a community that nurtures his young faith and challenges him to grow deeper. Surrounded by fellow students who love Jesus and live with boldness, Ondrej found accountability, inspiration, and a renewed sense of calling.What was once a quiet faith became a passionate pursuit. He began to see his gifts and his story as part of something bigger than himself.Ondrej's dream is bold: to see revival in the Czech Republic. Whether through launching a Christ-centered academy, planting seeds of faith through education, or simply walking faithfully with the people of his country, he longs to be used by God.He shared his story on the Cedarville Stories podcast, offering a glimpse of his hope-filled vision: to be a faithful voice in his homeland, pointing people to the truth of Jesus.Wherever God sends him, Ondrej is ready. He's living proof that when Jesus captures a heart, everything changes.https://share.transistor.fm/s/da12250ehttps://youtu.be/rqrunn4aGhA

Desert Roots and Gospel GoalsMatthew and Daniel Leo grew up in the Middle East, where sunbaked streets doubled as soccer fields and neighbors quickly became family. Their childhood was filled with the rhythms of daily life, including shared meals, local traditions, and long afternoons chasing a ball through the dust. With parents devoted to humanitarian work, the brothers were immersed in a life of service and shaped by a deep love for people, culture, and faith that would stay with them wherever they went.Now students at Cedarville University, the brothers lace up their cleats as members of the University's soccer team. But if you ask them, they'll tell you their identity goes far deeper than their roles on the field or in the classroom. As they shared recently on the Cedarville Stories podcast, they see themselves first and foremost as children of God — young men whose purpose isn't just to win games but to live lives that reflect Christ.Matthew shared how his identity as a follower of Jesus isn't something he sets aside when he steps onto the field. When he's playing in front of a crowd or pushing through a tough match, his faith remains central to who he is. The way he competes, responds to pressure, and carries himself flows from that deeper commitment. For him, soccer isn't separate from his spiritual life; it's another place where his walk with Christ is lived out.Daniel followed with a heartfelt message for those who may not yet know Christ. He encouraged listeners to explore the Bible with an open heart, describing it as a powerful collection of stories about real people — flawed, broken, and often struggling — who encountered God's grace. Through those stories, he explained, there's a clear picture of hope, redemption, and purpose. Both brothers emphasized that a life shaped by faith is not about perfection but about daily trust and living in a way that reflects something greater than themselves.Their future plans? The Leo brothers hope to return to the Middle East after graduation to continue the work their parents started. They want to invest in people, love their neighbors, and serve in a region they still call home.In a world often driven by status or stats, Matthew and Daniel's story is refreshingly simple and deeply inspiring: two brothers chasing a ball, loving deeply, and running toward a calling far greater than themselves.https://share.transistor.fm/s/aa08bb61https://youtu.be/m9WnRUATlJE

Today's speaker is Dr. Tim Cochrell, Senior Pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cedarville, OH. Pastor Cochrell shares that conflict is an opportunity to realize and repent of the desires that rule our hearts. His text is James 4:1-3.

Aiming True, Living FullyGracen Fletcher grew up under Indiana skies, where the wind danced across hayfields and horses ran free. A farm girl through and through, she learned to saddle up almost as early as she could walk. Her days were filled with muck boots, fiddle strings, and the steady hum of country life. Whether she was training one of her family's Arabian horses, casting a fishing line at the pond, or hitting bullseyes with her bow, Gracen lived wide awake to the world around her.Her brother got into archery first, and the rest of the family followed. At first, Gracen just tagged along. But the more she shot, the more she found herself hooked. The quiet focus, the feel of the release, the rhythm — archery used the same discipline she'd learned from horseback riding. And just like that, she discovered a lasting passion.By the time she turned 10, Gracen was competing. At 17, she made history in Las Vegas, shooting a perfect 900 — something only a handful of women had ever done. The spotlight turned to her quickly, and, as a result, the Olympic door stood wide open.But another door opened, too.Gracen had long dreamed of earning a degree from Cedarville University, a school with a commitment to faith that matched her own. She thought she'd have to choose: train for the Olympics or attend college. But Cedarville's new fully online accounting program made it possible to do both.Now, from her family's farm in Boonville, she balances Olympic-level training with online studies. Her days start early with chapel, continue with coursework, and end with hours of practice in the barn or the field. It's a full life, but one anchored in purpose.Gracen doesn't see archery as her identity — it's a gift. She competes with grit, but her aim stays fixed on something higher. Through every arrow and every assignment, she's living to honor God, knowing He's the one who gave her these passions to begin with.She recently shared more of her journey on the Cedarville Stories podcast, reflecting on how faith, family, and focus have shaped her both on the range and in the classroom.Gracen's story is a reminder: Sometimes you don't have to pick one dream over another — sometimes, with faith and the right fit, you can live both.https://share.transistor.fm/s/49abb142https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2dfe3GFjPo

Lucy Malmberg: Cradled in a Box, Carried by FaithLucy Malmberg's life began in the shadow of World War II. Born in a refugee camp and carried onto a plane bound for America inside a handmade box, she traveled hidden beneath a blanket with nothing but a handwritten birth certificate and her father's whispered prayer. Her parents had fled the devastation of Ukraine with no home, no country, and little more than their steadfast faith in Jesus. That improbable journey — marked by desperation, courage, and divine protection — became the opening chapter of a life defined by God's unwavering faithfulness.From her earliest memories, Lucy recognized God's fingerprints on every detail of her story. He met her family with miracles both great and small, providing exactly what they needed when they needed it. Through seasons of hardship and abundance, Lucy learned to trust His timing, His provision, and His plan.Pharmacy eventually became Lucy's calling, but it was never just about medicine. She approached her work as a ministry, caring for the whole person — body, mind, and soul. Together with her late husband, George, she founded Wedgewood Pharmacy and helped build it into one of the nation's most respected veterinary compounding pharmacies. Yet professional achievement was never her ultimate goal. What mattered most was stewarding the platform God had given her to share the hope of Jesus.Lucy inherited her passion for introducing people to Christ from her father, a man whose ever-present smile opened the door to countless Gospel conversations in grocery lines, gas stations, and diners. She carries that same joyful boldness. More than anything, Lucy longs to live a life that helps populate heaven.When the opportunity arose to invest in Christian pharmacy education, she didn't hesitate. Her recent $1 million gift to Cedarville University's School of Pharmacy will equip future pharmacists to serve as both excellent clinicians and courageous ambassadors for Christ. Meeting students whose lives were transformed through the scholarship moved Lucy to tears. For her, it was unmistakable confirmation that God was at work.Lucy recently shared her testimony on the Cedarville Stories podcast. With warmth and humility, she reflected on a life shaped by hardship, hope, and the joy of Jesus. She sees Cedarville as a place where students are not only trained with excellence but also sent out to share the Gospel wherever God leads.For Lucy, that is the legacy that matters most: hearts turned toward heaven, one faithful life at a time.https://share.transistor.fm/s/09c46197https://youtu.be/nd03ddxGU5w

Bill Bolthouse: More Than VegetablesBill Bolthouse's story began in the rich black soil of Grant, Michigan, where long rows of onions shaped both his childhood and his character. Working alongside his family on their muck farm, Bill learned early what honest labor demanded — often on his knees, pulling weeds under the summer sun. Each season, his dad entrusted him with three-quarters of an acre to manage himself. The deal was simple: He could keep whatever profit he earned.Bill tried to take shortcuts, tidying the edges while letting weeds take over the middle. His dad quickly saw through it, and the lesson stuck: Real work means doing the whole job and doing it well.That conviction carried Bill far beyond those onion rows. Though he once imagined a future in missions, he eventually realized God was leading him back to the family business — Bolthouse Farms. There, he helped transform a modest vegetable farm into the nation's top carrot producer. Under his leadership, Bolthouse Farms didn't just grow carrots; it reshaped how they were packaged, marketed, and delivered to families across America.But for Bill, farming was never just about crops. It was about people and purpose. He saw his work as a mission field — a way to live out his faith every day. Whether managing fields, leading sales, or guiding the business as president, Bill sought to honor Christ in every decision. “You treat people right,” he said. “Run your business like you answer to the Lord — because you do.”From 1996 to 2013, Bill served on Cedarville University's Board of Trustees, believing deeply in the school's mission to train young people for Kingdom impact. His name now graces the Bolthouse Center for Music and the upcoming Bolthouse Academic Center, though he's quick to shrug off the recognition. “I'm not interested in buildings,” he shared. “I want to see kids on fire for Jesus — going out into the world and making a difference.”Bill recently shared his story on the Cedarville Stories podcast, reflecting on a life on mission — not in a pulpit but in the dirt, at the sales desk, and in the boardroom. His passion is simple: “Before Jesus comes, I want to see as many people in heaven as possible.”And that's the legacy he's still cultivating.https://share.transistor.fm/s/c4baac23https://youtu.be/XLeSKDlGO04
