A God Who Likes Me? A Young Adults Gathering with Dr. Josh Chatraw

When you imagine what God really thinks of you, perhaps you know that God loves you. But do you imagine that he likes you?

Discover what Jesus has to say to us about the scandal of God’s love, and how it changes everything – how we think about ourselves, about achievement, and ambition. Join young adults from across the Triangle for a conference with theologian, apologist, and Center founder Dr. Josh Chatraw.

Serving God While Serving Money? Looking Redemptively at Modern Finance

Jesus famously taught that “you cannot serve both God and money.” He also called his followers to steward and invest the resources he entrusted to them to produce a return for him and for his kingdom (Matthew 26). How can followers of Jesus relate to and invest money without serving it, but in ways that serve God and reflect the values of his kingdom?

Financial professionals – and those interested in how Christian faith speaks to dealing with material wealth – are invited to a morning of looking redemptively at modern finance.
