Rem­edy Live Re­turns to Bethel Uni­ver­sity

 -  -  282


MISHAWAKA- Chapel ser­vices are once again in full swing on the Bethel Uni­ver­sity cam­pus. Bethel of­ten brings in a va­ri­ety of guest speak­ers to ad­dress the stu­dent body dur­ing chapel ser­vices. On Sept. 9, a Chris­t­ian Or­ga­ni­za­tion called Rem­edy Live will come to Bethel for a chapel pre­sen­ta­tion.  

This is not the first time that Rem­edy Live has come to Bethel Uni­ver­sity. Last fall they did a pre­sen­ta­tion re­lat­ing to men­tal health is­sues. Ac­cord­ing to Bethel’s vice pres­i­dent of stu­dent de­vel­op­ment, Shawn Holt­gren, Ph.D., this or­ga­ni­za­tion’s goal is to in­ter­act with stu­dents in a way that sup­ports hon­est and non-judg­men­tal con­ver­sa­tions.  

“They do this in a bib­li­cally grounded, pas­toral way that is highly in­ter­ac­tive” Holt­gren said.  

Bethel Uni­ver­si­ty’s chapel ser­vices of­ten fo­cus on is­sues that closely af­fect the lives and strug­gles of its stu­dents. This year Rem­edy Live will fo­cus on the idea of es­capism and the hu­man ten­dency to find dis­trac­tions to es­cape from the hard­ships of the world.  

“I am ex­cited to see how this topic res­onates with our com­mu­nity and helps us live more in­te­grated lives,” Holt­gren said. “[I am] pray­ing that the Holy Spirit touches our com­mu­nity through this ex­pe­ri­ence.”
