I have followed the recent news stories and watched a Washington Post video timeline of events in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020, my 60th birthday, in the state in which I was born and raised through high school.
A small rural hospital in Stayton, Oregon, was awaiting supplies to run their qPCR test—the test that determines if patients are sick with COVID-19.* But before the supplies could arrive, they were rerouted to a larger hospital in New York.
Emanuel Montanez is not an athlete only when he’s on the soccer field. He’s not a student only when he’s in the science lab, and he’s not a Christian only when he’s at church. Rather, Eman realizes that these three identities coexist, shape one another, and help him understand himself and God more fully.

The Gift of Disruption: Lessons from the Desert
It’s hard to believe that just a couple of months ago, I (Sheldon Nord) was sitting on a crowded flight to Indonesia, eagerly anticipating connecting with Corban alumni and friends.
