July 15, 2020 Say Yes: A Liturgy of Not Giving Up on Yourself | Scott Erickson
Juxtaposing story-teaching, crowd participation, humor, and image curation, artist Scott Erickson walks us through the very personal and universal conversation about the death of a dream and the overwhelming voice of Giving Up in our lives.

“Say Yes: A Liturgy of Not Giving Up on Yourself” is a multi-sensory experience that reveals this moment not as an ending, but as a sacred doorway into a much deeper invitation to our hopes, vocation, and existence itself.

July 09, 2020 Fashioning Faith: How Fashion Shapes Our Everyday Lives | Robert Covolo
Fashion might seem superficial, but is it? This session offers an eye-opening discussion on how fashion touches every aspect of our lives—from politics, art, and identity, to what it means to be human. Taking as its starting point things that make up our everyday lives—what we wear, a trip to the mall, the latest style—our discussion will explore how these mundane practices are attached to a myriad of deeper assumptions in our late modern world. How does the Apostle Paul’s call for Christians to “put on Jesus Christ” challenge, subvert, and redirect these modern assumptions?

May 22, 2020 Redemptive Entrepreneurship: Participating in God's Renewal in All Spheres of Culture | Jon Hart
As a society, we have never been more cynical, or more hopeful. We seem to want to escape the world and transform it, all at once. We’ve shifted our trust away from most institutions and leaders.

In this crisis of hope, redemption is the antidote to believing in nothing but ourselves. Redemptive entrepreneurship is creating new ventures—be it businesses, nonprofits, or social enterprises—that reach beyond best practices and ethical baselines.

Redemptive leadership is surrendered ambition and cultural renewal for the sake of others. Redemption involves loving God and loving our neighbor by responding to the world’s pressing issues with ambition, ingenuity, and hope.

May 18, 2020 Sabbath or Die (but seriously though) | Justin McRoberts

How do you create a pattern of rest in your busy life? What can you do on your Sabbath day? Do you have to take a Sabbath on Sundays? Or do Wednesdays work?

If you want to do important and life-giving work over the course of your life, you will have to learn to NOT do that work. Rest is woven into the fabric of God's world and ...well...Sabbath keeping is a commandment.

May 18, 2020 Little Low Heavens: Toward a Christian Social Witness | Jake Meador
John Ruskin said that the only wealth is life. If that is so, ours is an impoverished world—climate change and bad farming practices are eating away at the life of the world. Abortion and an indifference to family destroy the life of human communities. In this workshop, we'll talk about what an alternative society could look like—a society ordered toward peace and the promotion of life.
