Additionally, ACU fellow Tim Goeglin was featured on Monday morning, with his reading available for replay.

What an amazing night! 🤩

Last week, we had the privilege of honoring Dr. George Barna with the Daniel Award, celebrating the enduring impact of his research. We are grateful to have him at ACU, where he equips students with a biblical worldview through intentional discipleship, preparing them to go out and transform culture with truth for the glory of God.

During the award ceremony, President Len Munsil shared that we are just $3 million away from reaching our $25 million capital campaign goal. This final $3 million will go directly toward student scholarships, making it possible for more students to receive a biblical worldview education, something truly unique in Christian higher education.

Even more exciting: gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $500,000, through June 30, thanks to a generous donor.

This is a moment to invest in the next generation of leaders who will influence culture with wisdom, courage, and faith. According to Dr. Barna’s research, ACU graduates are 28 times more likely than their peers to hold a biblical worldview by the time they earn their degree.
