Toward Grace

Pentecostal theologian Amos Yong points readers toward an increased theological emphasis on God as love.

For many people, over several generations, the celebration of the AdventChristmas-Epiphany season begins with the annual St. Olaf Christmas Festival, a century-old tradition of the college.

Just the Beginning is the debut full length album from singer/songwriter phenomenon Grace VanderWaal. Her eagerly anticipated album has been preceded by the lead track and video, "Moonlight," along with the beat-driven song "Sick of Being Told," and "So Much More Than This." The single "Moonlight" has received critical praise from Billboard, who called it the "perfect summer song," and The New York Times, who noted that Grace is a "pop natural" and the single "sounds like steroidal bluegrass-inflected space-pop," among others. In addition to writing all the songs for Just The Beginning, Grace also worked with multiple award winning producers and writers such as Ido Zmishlany (Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello), Kinetics & One Love (Hailee Steinfeld), Greg Wells (Katy Perry, Adele), Gregg Wattenberg (Train, Phillips Phillips) and Sean Douglas (The Chainsmokers, Demi Lovato).
