One of our deepest needs as followers of Christ is fellowship with other believers. GFM hosts events which explore the unique calling of following Christ in academia and other spheres of influence. These events equip faculty and grad students to explore the intersection of faith and work alongside other Christ-followers in the academy and professions.

January 16, 2024 | Virtual Meeting

Anxiety leads us to succumb to fear and fight peace. Anxious living is a distortion of good motives, blocking the clarity of stillness and rest. Alan Fadling has also felt mastered by worry, but he brings counsel on how to learn a better way and who to look to for it: Jesus, “the ultimate non-anxious presence.” He constructs a posture from which we can rest more deeply, live more fully, and lead better.

As you begin this new year, take time to join Alan Fadling, president and founder of Unhurried Living, Inc. and ESN Director Bob Trube for a conversation about his new book, A Non-Anxious Life: Experiencing the Peace of God's Presence, on January 16, 2024 at 3pm ET. Click here to register.
