America: On the Forces that Shape Us

Published July 11, 2016 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog, Events, Faith, Prayer, Social Justice

It’s always difficult to put into words the transformation that happens within a human heart as it works to grasp the reality of tragic news unfolding. I hopped into my car Friday morning totally ignorant of what happened in Dallas Thursday night. When I switched on NPR like usual, my mind tripped over itself trying to comprehend. It was… [Read More]

The Psychology of Terrorism and What We Can Do About It

Published September 15, 2014 • Written by Britt Echtenkamp Filed Under: Blog

Unless you’ve been living under a rock without cable or wifi your entire life, you have most likely heard about and been horrified by the plethora of terrorist attack stories lately (and since the dawn of mankind, really). Barbarism – acts that include severe cruelty, not the male hair-cutting profession – have daunted us from… [Read More]

Christmas Unchained

Published January 9, 2013 • Written by Chris Williston Filed Under: Blog, Faith

There was a time when I wouldn’t dare miss a new Quentin Tarantino film. I was in middle school when Pulp Fiction was released in theatres and,  as a teenage boy, I was fascinated by Tarantino’s violent, vulgar and verbose underground universe.  Soon after, I gorged myself on the complete Tarantino catalog, watching True Romance,… [Read More]

The Heat Is On (Review: “Catching Fire”)

Published January 24, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Reviews

While I was home for Christmas, I saw Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows with my mom and sister. I loved it. It was one of the best sequels I’ve ever seen, because it didn’t strictly require knowledge of the first movie, but it built beautifully on what had been established.

Playing with the Girl Who Was on Fire (Review: “The Hunger Games”)

Published January 10, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Reviews

This may be the hardest review I’ve written for ACNM. This is not because I didn’t read the book. I did; I’ve read it twice now, and I would never try to review a book I hadn’t finished reading. This is not because I didn’t like the book; it was amazing. This is because the… [Read More]
