ABOVE: Regent faces of 1983
Alumni Bloggers
We’re constantly looking for fresh ways to put Regent alums into contact with each other, and blogging has become a key means for people to share their own news and views. Some of our alumni blog primarily about personal events (family, etc.), while others blog their comments and reflections on various aspects of theology and culture. On this blog list, we’ve decided to highlight those within the Regent family (alums, faculty, students) who are presenting very thoughtful blogs.
We hope to expand this to include a recommended reading list for those “Beyond Regent” who are providing some good content on topics such as: Arts & Culture, Environment/Creation Care, Faith, Science, Medicine, Bioethics, Economics/Marketplace, Social Justice, Politics, Church/Worship, Cross-cultural engagement/Mission/Globalization, Sexuality & Gender. We’re not there yet, but we’ll get there—so stay tuned!
And if you blog, or know a good blogger not listed here, please email us your recommendation at alumni@regent-college.edu.
These links do not imply Regent College’s endorsement of all the views on these blogs, and we are not responsible for the content of external web sites.
Alumni & Former Students
- “Best of Alumni Blogs”
Well over 200 Regent alumni maintain blogs on every conceivable subject: daily family life, sermon reflections, theology and the arts, Christianity and pop culture, missions, and many more besides. On this feed, we highlight some of the best each day — keeping in mind that there is much, much more than we can possibly share!
- “Wondering Fair” http://www.wonderingfair.com
Several Regent alumni (Matt Mattoon, David Benson, Jeremy Kidwell, Ben Edsall, Jessica Hughes, Matt Gray, and René Breuel) and Prof. John Stackhouse have created an apologetic forum that seeks to articulate the Gospel to a secular non-Christian audience in a thoughtful way. Updates three times a week, and includes articles from guests.

- Ryan Dueck (MCS ’09), “Rumblings,” http://rynomi.wordpress.com
“The kinds of things that occupy me here are ‘rumblings’ in one form or another—things that make me uncomfortable or force me to pay attention to God and the world that he has made in a way that I previously hadn’t.”
- Stan Groothof (MDiv ’03), “4th Point,” http://4thpoint.wordpress.com
“Sermons traditionally have 3 points. Pastors traditionally have more than 3 points. Here is a place for some ‘fourth points’ that, while not showing up in a message, I feel still should see the light of day.”
