“Argylle:” The Real Cat in the Bag

Loading

“Argylle” is the latest action-comedy to hit the big-screen. Debuting on Feb. 2, 2024, the movie follows Elly, a writer, as she becomes entangled in a series of events that unfolds into a globe-trotting adventure filled with espionage and high-stakes action. “Argylle” is directed by Matthew Vaughn, well-known for his work on the Kingsman movies, which this film easily takes small inspirations from as it develops its own identity. The film also stars a heavy roster of famous actors with Henry Cavill, John Cena, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, and countless others lending their voices and abilities to the big-screen. This cast helps to deliver on the comedy aspect of the film, making it easily one of the most entertaining comedies in a while.

The Sacred Journey of Learning

Loading

Here we are at the beginning of another fall semester. This year there is a record number of first-year students, who are all attending one of the many Gateway Seminars. I teach two of these seminars, and I look forward to it each year. Why? Because I am privileged to be an important part of getting first-year students started in the right direction on their four-year journeys of learning, self-discovery, spiritual growth, and becoming modern Christian adults. I stress to my two Gateway classes that the purpose of Gateway is to learn how to be a faithful Christian learner. I am not sure that they all appreciate what this really means.
