Cedarville Stories is an interview-driven portrait of Cedarville University’s extended community. It listens for calling in the middle of ordinary and extraordinary lives. Recent episodes feature alumni and campus-connected guests working in Christian radio, advancement, foster care ministry, education, law enforcement, documentary production, and professional baseball. The show does not rush its guests toward a single lesson. It lets them start with memory. A freshman drive past Christian radio becomes a long view of ministry at K-LOVE and Air One. A fundraising update becomes a conversation about stewardship, donor trust, scholarships, facilities, and future university growth. A couple’s concern for young people aging out of foster care becomes a story about prayer, timing, and the beginning of Immerse Arkansas. A student’s Lyme disease becomes a testimony about fear, faith, and deeper intimacy with God. A football documentary becomes less about football and more about grace, forgiveness, and changed lives. The format is plain and relational. Questions often begin broadly, then narrow toward a concrete detail, a name, a verse, a classroom, a facility, or a specific moment of encouragement. The result feels like institutional storytelling with a pastoral center. Cedarville itself remains present throughout, but the show is most interested in what happens after the campus connection takes root in a life. It can be celebratory, especially when discussing alumni success or university milestones. It can also be serious, especially around illness, foster care, fraud, cybercrime, and disappointment. The recurring emotional movement is from uncertainty toward purpose. Guests describe being stretched, redirected, humbled, or surprised by work they did not fully foresee. The show’s appeal rests in that steady pattern: a person looks back, names what God has done, and connects the story to service beyond the self.
Made for: For listeners drawn to warm Christian testimony, university community stories, and vocational reflection across ministry, education, service, sports, and nonprofit work. It especially suits people who appreciate measured interviews rooted in faith and personal experience.
What sets it apart: The show’s strength is its specific Cedarville lens: campus ties are not decoration, but the starting point for stories about public work, spiritual formation, and long obedience. It blends alumni magazine polish with intimate testimony.
Cedarville Stories podcast shares the stories of individuals who have been impacted from their experiences at Cedarville University, all for God's glory. Each week you’ll hear unique stories of how Cedarville’s mission of transforming lives through excellent education and intentional discipleship in submission to biblical authority is being lived out in the lives of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends of the University. Listen in each Wednesday and be blessed by some of the amazing ways God is working in and through the lives of the Cedarville family.
