All the Herberts in 2024
JERRY S. HERBERT has for over forty years helped followers of Jesus connect biblical faith with their vocational vision. He most recently served as an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University’s Washington DC Program where he taught classes in political science, religion & politics, American government, public policy, and work & vocation.
These are areas of specialty he developed over the course of three decades with the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities in Washington, DC. There he directed the American Studies Program, an off-campus program which challenged hundreds of collegians to integrate their faith with the realities of the marketplace and public life through experiential learning in the nation’s capital.
Trained in political science (Duke University, Ph.D.), Dr. Herbert has written and taught in the areas of American national politics & public policy, religion & politics, American civil religion, Evangelical political engagement, global leadership, worldview studies, and American civic education.
He serves as an elder at Washington Community Fellowship on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC and was a founding trustee of Rivendell School, a Christ-centered school in Arlington, Virginia. He lives with his wife, Jeannie, in Arlington, Virginia. They have three adult sons and five grandchildren.

We started this monthly event to have a place to talk about things. Stuff. Issues. We focused at first on relationships: friends, romance, family, work and after that we went anywhere the Spirit took us: churches, denominations, the Bible, the meaning of life. Ha! Come and join us. There are food outlets nearby, so grab something on the way. We might have snacks.

Money has a unique power in our lives. The topic itself can feel taboo or shameful. On one hand, we don’t feel like we have enough. On the other, it feels like we don’t steward what we do have well at all. We need wisdom and places to talk about money.

Unintentional singleness within Christian circles has been a difficult topic for some years, especially in a large, diverse city like DC. What’s God’s take on our dating lives?

This is the story of my friendship with my transgender neighbor and what God did in that person’s life. It’s a glimpse behind the curtain of how our Creator gives us assignments and then weaves together the plan He has in mind.and all we have to do is show up for the privilege of watching Him move. It’s a testimony of how He generously equips the body of believers to participate in His work through listening, prayer and praise. It’s also the legacy of a brave soul who wrestled with questions of faith and identity and emerged triumphant on the other side.
Canceled! We’re sorry to miss our brunch with Joel Woodruff, but he’s agreed to come in May.
