25 Weeks to 250 – Week 21!

As we count down the days to our country's 250th anniversary, several of our student interns have been preparing a video project to commemorate this special year. They have been on a mission to ask members of the Colorado Christian University community why they love America. Everyone loves the United States for their own reason, but one thing remains the same: we are all proud to call this country home.

This week, we hear from Heidi Ross, Director of Discipleship and Campus Ministries!

The West is under grave strain. Across Europe and North America, institutions that once seemed sturdy—family, church, the university, and even democratic self-government – feel increasingly fragile. Public trust is thin. Freedom is often redefined as autonomy without responsibility. And many of the moral assumptions that undergirded Western civilization for centuries are no longer shared or even understood.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s unforgettable presentation called attendees to recover confidence in the truths that made it possible: that human dignity is real, that freedom is ordered by truth, and that faith is not a threat to the public square, but a vital contributor to it. We highlight Ayaan's remarks in this quarter's Centennial Review.

It all starts with faith. We serve a God who can help us be the person we want to be but feel powerless to become.

Leaders like Kay Coles James, 2021 Armstrong Award Honoree, are shining examples of putting our faith in Jesus. Every year, the Armstrong Award is given to a leader who has made a difference through business, politics, or education.

This year’s Armstrong Award Dinner will be hosted on July 30th, 2026, at Colorado Christian University. Tickets are available now. We hope to see you there!
