🎉 Happy Birthday, David Nyvall! 🎂

Today we celebrate the legacy of David Nyvall, founding president of North Park and namesake of our campus home. Nyvall's vision of a school where "great intellects are warmed by great hearts, and great hearts are enlightened by great intellects" continues to inspire us.

This encouragement from Nyvall, characteristic of his wit and wisdom, remains timely: "May you be given, not only a sharp pen, but above everything else more and more of a burning and loving heart. Write with red ink oftener than with black. Encourage more than criticize."

Welcome back to the start to a new semester, North Park Seminarians!

As we recommit ourselves to study and formation in community, remember that the God who called you is faithful (1 Thess. 5:24). May all we do in the coming months - whether reading or writing, discussion or reflection - be for God's glory and our neighbor's good (Col. 3:17).

Here’s to a semester of growth in wisdom, knowledge, and love 💙

Merry Christmas from all of us at North Park Theological Seminary! 💙

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This Christmas Day we celebrate the wonder of God’s love made manifest in Jesus Christ—Emmanuel, God with us. His presence brings light to our darkness and hope to a hurting world.
May your Christmas season bring peace, love, and joy to you and your loved ones as you celebrate the coming of Christ and the hope he brings. 🎄✨

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)

12/20/2024

As we break from classes over the coming month, we hope you will take opportunities for rest...and play! Rest, recharge, and savor every moment of the inter-semester break. You’ve earned it! 💙

How do we find hope when life feels heavy? This Advent, NPTS alum Benny Rios DonJuan shares a powerful devotion on holding on to God’s unending love and mercy—even in the darkest seasons.

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.” (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Don’t miss Benny’s candid reflection on hope, reconciliation, and the joy of Christ’s birth. ✨ https://bit.ly/3ZK70oB

Finals Week is Here—Take Care of YOU! 💙

We know finals week can be stressful. Remember that your well-being matters just as much as your grades. Practice good self-care as you navigate these final days of the semester.

💡 Quick Tips for Self-Care:
- Plan ahead and set good boundaries.
- Be gentle with yourself and your self-talk.
- Take study breaks: move, breathe, or grab a healthy snack.
- Celebrate the little milestones along the way.
- Stay hydrated and get enough sleep (yes, really!).
- Talk to someone. Sometimes, sharing your worries lightens the load.

Let’s finish this semester strong together! If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to reach out to NPU Counseling Services for resources and referrals.
