By Medi Volpe I should be writing about tenderness. (Apologies @NDLiturgyCenter…) Or I should be washing Anna’s hair. But I’m not. I’m here. And that’s precisely the point. I am here.

The energy from Day 1 of The Asbury Project carried over to Day 2 as we crossed the street from Asbury Seminary to Asbury University.  The first event I got to attend was a panel featuring penetrating questions for Johnson Asare, Dr. Tetsunao Yamamori of Food for the Hungry, and Pete Ochs of Capital III (you can read more about all the speakers here, too.) How can business have a spiritual impact?  (All sorts of ways.) What kinds of... Read more
Conferences of Christian entrepreneurs are full of energy.  That was the first thing I learned as I sat in a chapel full of flags, music, and eager seminary students as part of the  recent Asbury Project conference in Wilmore, KY.  The conference, a collaborative effort between Asbury Seminary and Asbury University to explore how social entrepreneurship can advance the Kingdom, also intersected with the Seminary’s Kingdom Conference celebrating God’s work around the world–hence the choir loft brimfull of flags: The... Read more
