Bioethics

This week the class of IMPACT 360 tackled the issue of bioethics. Before we could discuss the dilemmas that are currently being faced by bioethics, we had to answer the two fundamental questions: What is a human? And what is a human person for? We discovered that a human is a substance that possesses a soul; without this soul, humans could not exist. A human is not the same as an object; it has a …

Volunteering gets you plugged into the community at IMPACT360.

Volunteering gets you plugged into the community at IMPACT360.

One might say that a typical Wednesday night for Ashley Willis is a little different than that of a normal college freshman. Instead of studying or hanging out with friends, you’d find her leading worship, playing games, and teaching scripture to children. There is clearly something different about this girl.

Ashley is a student at IMPACT 360, and she volunteers every Wednesday night for four hours at the AWANA program for kids kindergarten through fifth …

Emmaus House LaGrange, Ga

Emmaus House LaGrange, Ga

Last Friday, the ladies at IMPACT 360 split into two groups for a day of helping out the community. One group went to a Georgia Baptist Children’s Home and I went with the group who went to a women’s homeless shelter called the Emmaus house. We showed up at the house and were asked to sit in on a Bible study with some ladies. I greatly enjoyed it and loved …

Teaching and Mentoring with Dr. Tackett

Teaching and Mentoring with Dr. Tackett

This week we had Dr. Del Tackett as professor. We were all really excited about having him, especially since so many of us have been impacted by his ministry through The Truth Project. I remember seeing him on campus for the first time on Sunday. He was a bit of a contrast to what I was expecting. I was expecting to meet a serious, business-like man who would look like he could have just come …

Womanhood Retreat

Last weekend was the annual Biblical Womanhood Retreat and it was incredible! All of the IMPACT girls including Mary Michael, Lyndsay Currier, Katy Thompson and all of our mentors went to The Summit for the weekend. In case you’re not familiar with The Summit, I’ll give you a little background information about it. It is a property that has (an absolutely BEAUTIFUL) three story house, pool, a pool cottage, carriage house and acres of land …

The manly Pre-Manhood Retreat

The manly Pre-Manhood Retreat

The sweet taste of cold icees; the stinging pain of a paintball wound; the faint hum of a golf-cart; the pungent smell of gunpowder; the taste of a juicy steak; and the cries of freedom from a brave-hearted man all dictate a well-spent weekend.
The men of IMPACT360 are preparing to embark on the man-hood retreat this Thursday. This retreat, with Greg Brown’s teaching will …

Ethical Decisions

Ethical Decisions

It would be incredibly difficult to pick my favorite class out of everything we have learned so far but this week definitely made it on the list to consider. Our topic for the week was on ethical morality. It was easy to believe going into class on Monday, after completing our reading assignment, “Moral Choices” by Scott Rae and “Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis, that I had this all figured out. And of course, as …

Bible Difficulties

This week, we had Dr. Norman Geisler teach about the difficulties in the Bible. One of the big things that stood out to me what his argument for the fact that all religions cannot be true. He pointed out that there are many opposites in different religions, both opposites cannot be true, so, all religions cannot be true. We talked about how the Bible is true and what many people have trouble believing. I never …

Impact in the Community

Last Wednesday, many of the youth at Rosemont Baptist Church had the opportunity to hear about and experience a bit of our trip to Brazil. While the kids in the AWANA program watched some of the students perform skits, and sang Portuguese songs, the youth pastor interviewed me about our group’s experience there… encouraging students to put the great commission into practice. I was able to share stories with these students, and told them some …

god is not great?

This week, Dr. John Wingard was here at Impact teaching “Intro to Critical Thinking and Logic”. He came down from Covenant College to share his knowledge with us.

He started the class by giving a brief introduction of himself and then began to explain critical thinking. Most people know what critical thinking is, but we got a more in-depth look at critical thinking during this class time. We learned that the aim of critical thinking is …
