A Texas high school valedictorian is gaining national attention after she presented the Gospel during her graduation speech and invited those in attendance to become a Christian and make Jesus the "King" of their life.

An Idaho high school senior was reportedly banned from walking at his graduation last Saturday due to comments he made about gender during an assembly.

On Tuesday, a shooting at a high school graduation at a downtown theater in Richmond, Virginia, left two dead and five others injured.

The valedictorian of a high school in South Carolina shared the gospel message during her graduation speech, speaking about how God carried her through the loss of her mother.

Though few college commencement speakers these days dare to defy conventional wisdom or the secularism that undergirds it, on June 8, 1978, Solzhenitsyn’s stunning address not only made those assembled there uncomfortable, it provoked many of them to boo him.

Why would an audience boo a moral giant like Solzhenitsyn who had stared down a brutal Communist dictatorship’s Gulags and won the Nobel Prize in literature? Those who booed had expected him to celebrate the West and to direct his condemnations only at Communism. Instead, he condemned Communism and the West. In the process, Solzhenitsyn had the courage to speak of something that was reviled at the time by elites on both sides of the Atlantic, which was truth.

This month prominent speakers from a variety of backgrounds gave their best advice to graduates at five Christian colleges: Wheaton College, Oral Roberts University, Liberty University, Biola University, and Geneva College.

These five speakers shared wisdom from lives spent following Christ as they worked in American politics, global justice, religious education, business, and research. What messages did they tell the Christian grads of 2018?
