What does it look like to thrive? Listen in as The Faith & Work Podcast talks with Ross Chapman, CEO of Denver Institute, on what Harvard and Scripture have to say about flourishing in all aspects of life. Additionally, over the last six months, Ross conducted a listening tour, talking to the organization’s key stakeholders, leaders in our community, and outside observers to gain a fresh perspective on the role Denver Institute can fill in our community.
On Shalom:
"I like to say that Shalom is life to the full for every life."
On work as a way to experience flourishing:
"Work makes what you do every day have a little bit more significance because it's an opportunity to help people experience flourishing."
On having a 'Nehemiah moment':
"I think we all need a 'Nehemiah moment' before we launch into pursuing the flourishing of our city. What Nehemiah did was ask for a report of the city and when he gets the report back he doesn't immediately go and do something. Instead, Nehemiah takes time to absorb what he heard and reflect. And after he had reflected, he wept."
