Faithful is Successful

Failing Faithfully: Created, Fallen, and Waiting

July 3, 2015 by David 1 Comment

In the first post of this series, I was ruminating  about a patient who had a rapid decline in health and social circumstances, culminating in a recent scan that showed the possibility of cancer even while he was struggling with homelessness. It was a bleak situation that caught me off guard because I was not expecting it and was grieved to think of what it would be like for him to die alone. He has since died. There is a picture and a story making rounds on the internet about the grief of physicians. An EMT … [Read more...] about Failing Faithfully: Created, Fallen, and Waiting

Faithful Is Successful: Continuing Conversations (Scholar’s Compass)

May 26, 2015 by Hannah Eagleson Leave a Comment

This week wraps up our Scholar's Compass series on Faithful is Successful. When we started way back in February, my area was looking like Narnia's hundred-year winter, and now trees have burst into leaf all around us, while flowers spring from the ground. The growth I see all around me is a great image of all the ways God has grown the conversations at ESN through this series, and we're delighted and thankful. And the growth isn't over. Here are several ways conversations or paradigms started through the series are … [Read more...] about Faithful Is Successful: Continuing Conversations (Scholar’s Compass)

But at the risk of wresting her words out of their context, I think there's something academics outside the arts can learn from her reflections on how professional artists … [Read more...] about Learning to See (Scholar’s Compass)
