How to Keep Going in 2018

On the Friday before New Year’s, I came into the office with no one here. (I tell the team to take a “holiday, holiday” where no one works between Christmas and New Years—it’s amazingly refreshing for all of us.) And coming in gave me a chance to plan out my calendar perfectly. You should see […]

5280 Fellows Alum Have an Opportunity to Carry the Learning Forward

The 5280 Fellows program was a beautiful journey for me, leading to drastic adjustments in how I view my personal calling, the local and broader culture around me, and how I view my own personal fear in light of God’s voice.  We had the wonderful opportunity to engage in thoughtful and experienced teaching in theology […]
