Day in the life & post election peac
At The Well This Week
Do you ever want a sneak peek at someone else’s day-to-day? Stefanie Tokiyama shares A Day in the Life of a Lab Manager — with bonus photos of her cat and beautiful route to work!
"When I slide into bed and turn off the lights, I listen to the sounds of the night (or cars still zooming by), and thank the Lord for his lovingkindness, his forgiveness, and his overwhelming grace."
On election day we took a listen back to this wise conversation with Carrie Bare on Jesus and Post-Election Politics that took place during the 2020 elections and is still relevant to our present day political landscape.
“If I were going to prayer in order to escape my responsibilities for being human in the world and reflecting Jesus Christ in the world…. I don’t know if that gets counted as prayer. If we’re going to talk to the living God, the living God is going to comfort us, and fill us with peace, and then he’s going to push us out the door to love and care for others.”

InterVarsity's Black Scholars and Professionals have two invitations for you!
Black faculty pursuing tenure or promotion are convening monthly on Zoom to provide prayer support and encouragement. The group will spur each other on to good works as they set and reach goals in the tenure process. From time to time, tenured Black faculty will join to provide tips and insights that helped along the way. Please contact Felicia Anderson for more information and to register.
