For my friends who are pastors (in particular).

I read recently where Thomas Merton is telling a story about someone of high esteem and societal “worth” writing to him and said, “You are wasting your life!”
Merton’s reply: “I am here because God has called me to be here.”

@tweetraychang Absolutely 100%. I wrote a book about this very thing, Raymond. Formation primarily happens within a community sharing a way of life together.

I had an incredible experience with Praxis this past year. Highly recommend it!

It is one of the best things I’ve ever been a part of.

An Opportunity for Redemptive Imagination is a call to work on a major issue of our time.

In the Praxis Accelerators, we are interested in finding, resourcing, and supporting founders who are building at the earliest stage in any of these opportunities around the globe.

Today’s ORI focus: Reversing the Mental Health Crisis

Society has made strides in destigmatizing mental health, but the journey is far from over. More people are speaking openly about their struggles, seeking therapy, and accepting support. Yet, we're facing a crisis, especially among youth, caught between achievement pressures and comparison culture. Constant news exacerbates fears, fueling unprecedented levels of anxiety and depression.

We're interested in organizations taking both a personal and systems-level view of these challenges. This will require both “relief and development”: not only more creative, effective, and accessible forms of traditional mental health support, but different kinds of schools, media companies, and technology firms that can address the root causes of these alarming trends.

In the 2024 Praxis Community Letter, Dave Blanchard, Praxis Co-Founder & CEO, proposes that in times of crisis, "our response as redemptive entrepreneurs is to build with hope and meaningful risk." Read more at the Praxis Journal: https://t.co/fDwd7k00kC

@davidswanson Mine took 4, 3- hour sessions. I found it to be challenging but happy I did it.
