Books (and Podcasts) Worth Cozying-up With This Fall

One thing our team at Denver Institute has in common is we all love to read. I asked each staff person to share a book (or podcast) recommendation I could pass along. So pull out the blanket your aunt crocheted for you, brew some tea, and dive into a new book that will challenge you to bear witness […]

When A Vacation Isn’t Enough (Part 2)

Five Principles for Deep Rest Years ago, I spent a year living in Zaragoza, Spain, a vibrant city between Barcelona and Madrid. One of highlights of that year was adopting a more European way of life — trading comfy American sneakers for more fashionable dress shoes and developing an addiction to manchego cheese that remains […]

When A Vacation Isn’t Enough (Part 1)

Discover God’s Life-Giving Freedom Who among us hasn’t dreamt of getting away from it all? On steamy summer afternoons I long to escape my overly-air-conditioned office to relax on a sunny beach or hike a mountain trail. I crave for the unhurried pace and deep relaxation portrayed in travel magazines, but have learned that few […]

Don’t Buy A One-Way Ticket to Canada Yet

True confession: It’s only May, and I’m already tired of election season. Don’t get me wrong, I worry about the societal effects shifting the balance of the Supreme Court would have and cringe at the thought of releasing Donald Trump, a leader with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, on the world stage. I haven’t booked […]
Confessions of a Culture Warrior

As a young Christian, I was against so much. Against drunkenness. Against lust. Against abortion. Against “the gays.” And at that time, against democrats, evolutionist professors, and the Los Angeles Raiders. A mix of ordered and disordered passions, perhaps. Though I still maintain the inherent evil of the now Oakland Raiders, I’d like to have […]

The Tree of Life: The Story of 600 Grant St, Suite 722

As I awoke, I heard a voice. “In the beginning, God created the tree of life.”My guide took me to a garden, green and blooming, with four rivers running through it. And at the center, the tree of life stood tall, giving life to all of creation. A man and a woman tilled the soil, […]
Gain A Framework for Understanding Your Work

This post is related to our upcoming public forum “Navigating the Tensions Between Faith & Work.” Join us Wednesday, March 9, 2016, 6-9 p.m. at Galvanize Boulder as we explore how the biblical narrative speaks to our uncertainties and tensions in day-to-day work. Albert Camus observed, “Without work, all life goes rotten. But when work is soulless, life stifles […]
Spelunking, Cave Formations, and Culture Change

“It’s riskier than ever,” Jill said, “to tell people you work with you’re a Christian.”Jill worked at a public policy communications firm in Denver. Having worked with people of all faiths and no faith for over seven years, her sentiment about being a Christian in pluralist America was one I heard often. Fear. Isolation. Better […]
Driving Back the Cloud of Fear: A Christmas Meditation

If there is anything we Americans hold in common this Christmas, it is fear.I felt it creeping up my neck four weeks ago when my dad called me on the way to work. “Did you hear about San Bernardino?” I confessed I was behind on the news. “The Islamic State is here.”  That same day […]

What Greg Thompson Can Teach Us About Living as Christians in Cities

Occasionally you meet somebody that shines with such virtue that you are, perhaps for the first time, made aware of your own poverty of spirit. When I met Greg Thompson during our Thriving Cities symposium in late October, I almost immediately felt the weight of his glory. Before speaking to the crowd, he almost desperately […]
Consumerism: What Do People Really Want?

Perhaps the best response to wealth disparity in America today can be summarized in two words: Karla Nugent. Karla is the Chief Business Development Officer at Weifield Group Electrical Contracting in Denver. In 2014, she won the Denver Business Journal’s 2014 Corporate Citizen of the year award. Why? Denver’s economy is booming, and as the […]
