Making All Things New

Our annual fundraiser and celebration of vocation earlier this spring explored the idea of how God is making all things new (Revelation 21:5). We celebrated the places where we’ve seen God’s work of redemption throughout Denver, and we considered how we can individually join his work of restoring our relationships and our companies. We asked […]

What Can I Really Do?

This is an excerpt from Jeff’s keynote talk at “All Things New,” DIFW’s annual fundraiser and celebration of vocation. Several weeks ago, I got a text from my wife: “This school shooting…just hurting today. K-12 Douglas County charter school 3 miles from our house. And our kids head off to another K-12 Douglas County charter […]

The projects address an actual need in the Fellow’s company, industry, or city. In addition, Fellows are challenged to integrate their project with a theological foundation and reflect on how they […]
