SUMMARY:Life After College: Finding Meaning in Faith\, Work & Calling
DESCRIPTION:Do you find yourself questioning what you were created to do? Does God have one right job for you after college? Do you feel like college has fully prepared you for the challenges of the workforce? Do you have a certain sense of calling? \nOn average\, we spend 90\,000 hours of our lives at work. We want these hours to be meaningful\, and our gifts and education productively employed. Our desire is to be aligned with God’s good purposes for us. But…Is it really possible for these work-related wants to be fulfilled? Can we really make strong connections between meaning\, work\, and faith in today’s world? \nDuring this Upper House cohort series\, you will learn more about how to— \n\ndiscern God’s calling in a constantly changing world\nengage what the Bible actually says about work\ndevelop healthy habits and a realistic mindset for the world of work\nreflect productively on their work journey\n\nWe are created to be God’s image-bearers\, to pursue and live out God’s Kingdom purposes in all that we do. These sessions are set up to help you advance in your life and work journey\, knowing more about your purpose and assured that as a child of God you are always beloved\, growing\, and accompanied in all that you do. \nWho is this Cohort for?  \nThis cohort is for students who want to dig deeper into what God has for them\, their work\, and their faith. Each week we will learn about what the Bible has to say about work through the lens of the Gospel\, discuss practical skillsets to help us discern calling\, and engage in small group discussions. During our final week\, we will match each student with local vocational mentors (either one-on-one or in small groups) to have a galvanizing discussion about how to integrate Christian faith in the workplace.

SUMMARY:Leading Through Crisis with Vision & Care
DESCRIPTION:How do you lead well through seemingly sequential crises—when the stakes are high\, the demands urgent\, and the issues and solutions complex and multilayered? \nBringing 35 years of crisis-honed experience to Upper House\, Steve Preston\, currently president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International\, is intimately familiar with such pressures. He served as the Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in the wake of Hurricane Katrina\, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) during the 2008 U.S. housing crisis\, and Chief Financial Officer of a Fortune 500 company during the Arthur Andersen accounting debacle. Through these and other crises\, Steve has had to negotiate strategies to achieve goals within an operational landscape experiencing intense pressure.   \nBoth Steve’s strategic acumen and long-held Christian faith inform his leadership. At this breakfast presentation\, he will reflect on how he has worked to help organizations navigate stress to advance their mission. Having served thousands of people and businesses in need of critical services\, his experience is invaluable for those considering what it means to be a leader during “such a time as this.”     \nThis event is in-person only (no livestream). The presentation will be recorded for public viewing after the event. Breakfast is provided. Optional donations accepted on site.

SUMMARY:After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith Without Losing It
DESCRIPTION:Are you struggling with doubt in your Christian faith? Are you afraid to voice your questions? Are you looking for practical tools to support someone on their journey through doubt? \nPastor\, professor\, and award-winning author A. J. Swoboda has witnessed many people wrestle with their core Christian beliefs and doubt. Too often he has seen people enter a period of legitimate questioning only to end up abandoning their faith altogether\, especially if the church fails to take up its role as a companion in questioning. \nDoubt and questioning present us an opportunity to deconstruct and reconstruct ideas and beliefs—to deepen in understanding about who we are and what we believe about God. The church and Christian companions have positive roles to play in this deconstruction and reconstruction process. The questioner\, too\, has real reason to be encouraged to navigate the terrain of doubt\, equipped with the proper tools and a healthy dose of honesty. \nDrawing on his own experience of deconstruction\, Swoboda will share tools to help people navigate their faith in what might feel like a hostile landscape. He will show us how deconstruction is a legitimate space to encounter the living God. \nWhether you are questioning your own faith\, leading those through a doubt journey\, or care deeply about the church and how we respond to those who question their faith\, Upper House invites you to join the discussion. After Doubt offers a hopeful\, practical vision of spiritual formation for those in the process of faith deconstruction—and those who serve them.
