My four day old, Evie, watched her first @WheatonFB game from the NICU tonight. I will never forget this week and God’s provision in providing a great outcome for my daughter ... and a Thunder victory.

I hope Psalms 13 rings true in your life during this uncertainty. In the midst of David’s longing for the Lord’s presence his affirmation is powerful:
“But I trust in your unfailing love, my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord for he has been good to me!”

Our commitment to excellence on and off the field isn’t just a bunch of words - it’s lived out in the lives of our players … academically, athletically, and in their pursuit of Jesus.
Love seeing an award like this for so many - it’s a great affirmation of our culture!

Why does Wheaton so profoundly affect the people that call it home?
Because of the conviction we have for our mission: For Christ and His Kingdom.
#WhyWheaton
Jonathan Blanchard had a “Vision for a Christ-Centered College, and prayed the Lord would make this a school on a hill to proclaim the Gospel to the nations.”
Come tour where it all started for @WheatonCollege with us!
