About Courage + Faith
In a rapidly changing world, what new ways of worship and community might reignite a sense of spiritual relevance for those searching for meaning? How can we reflect God’s love in a culture that often seems disconnected from faith? How do we unite with compassion in an era marked by deep divisions and global unrest?
Courage + Faith is a dynamic speaker series designed to explore these questions. In partnership, Rev. Justin Crisp from St. Barnabas and Rev. Marek Zabriskie from Christ Church Greenwich, along with John Ford, provide thought-provoking lectures, artistic performances, and immersive spiritual experiences to inspire, challenge, and equip individuals to live out their faith with courage and purpose in today’s complex world. Together, we hope to spark meaningful dialogue about what it looks like to follow Jesus with authenticity and boldness in our daily lives.
