  1. Why Being Late to Church Mat\u00adters<\/a> (Joe Carter, The Gospel Coali\u00adtion): \u201cIf we believe the ser\u00advice is pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly about what we can get out of it\u2014uplifting music, an encour\u00adag\u00ading ser\u00admon, fel\u00adlow\u00adship with friends\u2014then arriv\u00ading late makes sense. After all, we can still catch most of the \u2018good stuff.\u2019 But if you under\u00adstand cor\u00adpo\u00adrate wor\u00adship as some\u00adthing we do togeth\u00ader as the body of Christ\u2014if you see it as our col\u00adlec\u00adtive offer\u00ading of praise to our Creator\u2014then show\u00ading up late takes on a dif\u00adfer\u00adent mean\u00ading entire\u00adly. We\u2019re not just show\u00ading up late; we\u2019re miss\u00ading the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to ful\u00adly par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpate in some\u00adthing the Lord has designed to form us as his peo\u00adple.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. My expe\u00adri\u00adence at the Stan\u00adford Ver\u00adi\u00adtas Forum: Hen\u00adnessy and Gelsinger on lead\u00ader\u00adship, ethics and AI<\/a> (Pedro David Espinoza, Stan\u00adford Dai\u00adly): \u201cThe forum was mod\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded by Elli Schulz \u201925, pres\u00adi\u00addent of Chi Alpha Chris\u00adt\u00adian Fel\u00adlow\u00adship and vice pres\u00adi\u00addent of Vox Clara, a stu\u00addent-run mag\u00ada\u00adzine part\u00adnered with Ver\u00adi\u00adtas. It offered a unique oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to con\u00adnect with lead\u00aders who have shaped the tech world while reflect\u00ading on iden\u00adti\u00adty, pur\u00adpose, ethics, and faith. Elli, whom I\u2019ve known since 2022 through Chi Alpha \u2014 one of Stanford\u2019s most diverse and largest Chris\u00adt\u00adian orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions \u2014 brought calm con\u00adfi\u00addence, light\u00adheart\u00aded humor and sharp ques\u00adtions to guide the hour-long con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion. She was the ide\u00adal mod\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtor, giv\u00aden her pas\u00adsion for apolo\u00adget\u00adics and ded\u00adi\u00adca\u00adtion to faith and work.\u201d\n
