Facilitated by Dean of the Chapel Steve Thomason, we will read the text for the day and then practice in silence for 15 minutes. Afterward, you are welcome to sit in fellowship or go about your day. Share your prayer requests.

Introduced in person during fall RFS in September, the new webinar ‘The Alchemy of Faith-Informed Entrepreneurism: From Imagination to Innovation’ is a multi-episode guide for spiritual entrepreneurs that walks us through the core creative energies that fuel our work: imagination, ideation, ignition, and innovation. Each episode explores in depth one of these stages, weaving together practical exercises, reflective dialogue, and real-world application. The journey is nonlinear—participants are invited to see these forces not as steps but as a dynamic, interwoven process. Join us Tuesdays online—October 7, 28, November 18—from 6:00-7:30 pm CT for each new episode. Email Jody Nyenhuis, jnyenhuis001@luthersem.edu, for more information and join us on Zoom tonight (link in email).
