Dear {first},
At the Center for Faith & Work, we put a high value on imagination and innovation. The always-moving, never-ceasing nature of our city can mask the beauty and hope of the gospel. But imagination clears our eyes to envision renewal. With it, we can create, we can innovate, we can see the unseen. This month, we're cultivating imagination and innovation in two exciting new ways:
First, we are pleased to announce our new Artists-in-Residence for the spring. Five different storytellers will create new work on the theme of Givenness, all from varying backgrounds, through forms like data art, fictional prose, devised theatre, and story-installations.
And second, for the next ten weeks, we are thrilled to have Dave Evans from the Stanford Design Program, where he teaches the popular Designing Your Life courses, as our inaugural Entrepreneur-in-Residence. Dave will be working with the Center for Faith & Work to develop practices, tools and insights to help those in our community move from the theoretical to a true integration of the inseparable areas of faith and work. We look forward to sharing more details and events around this residency in the coming weeks.
Sincerely,
David H. Kim, Executive Director, Center for Faith & Work

WHEN WORK FEELS FRUITLESS
It’s easy to think of “work” in the ways our society does – something only related to money, status, stability. God-given work is bigger. Leah Hollingsworth reflects on how her vocation as a mother is part of God's plan to make all things new. More>

WHY DO HUMAN BEINGS MAKE ART?
Is art an essential part of what makes us human? Drawing on the film Cave of Forgotten Dreams, which reveals the recently discovered Paleolithic cave paintings from Chauvet, France, author Gregory Wolfe delves into the way art both makes and discovers meaning. Along the way, Wolfe explores how art and the religious sense have been intertwined through human history in this second video from our Faith & Art Lecture Series. More>
