The Gathering 2026 Conference Highlights

The Gathering 2026 Annual Conference was held in Carlsbad, CA. The Gathering is a community of givers who seek to grow in our effectiveness as philanthropists, in the leadership of our families, and in the maturity of our Christian faith. We hope to steward wisely all the resources that God has entrusted to our care, from our donations and investments to our families and our influence. We are a sounding board of trusted peers, and we relish inviting thinkers and practitioners to help stretch our imaginations for how we might join God’s work. Here is a video that shares a little more as well. Video credit: Shorman Creative

Being Faithful in the Political Arena

With the nation’s attention focused on the presidential pageantry taking place in Washington, DC, half the country is giddy at the prospect of four years of populist disruption, while the other half is despairing of a dire and dangerous future. The bitter tensions on this Inauguration Day feel inexorable, the culmination of the calendar preceded by rival conventions, contentious debates, and endless campaign ads. It’s worth asking, What drives our corrosive politics, and how might Christians act in this charged atmosphere?
