Brunch with Jerry Herbert!

Herbert family 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.

Hope you can come for this helpful discussion! Don’t miss it—- recording cannot be guaranteed.

Grace and Danny Lee for our Monthly Brunch!

When Grace Jan and Danny Lee headed to opposite coasts for college, they never imagined the future that God had in store for them. One of reuniting old friends and putting them in a new community where they, their faith, and soon - their family - could thrive.

You probably know or have seen Grace and Danny around: at brunch in the before-times, at Restoration (often in yellow t-shirts shepherding the littles). But now is your chance to hear their story:

  • How their faith has sustained them and how relationships have shaped them.

  • The commitments - to each other and their community - that have helped them grow as a family and as children of God.

Emily Snyder - Integrating Faith and Work

Emily is from Pennsylvania and spent six years in corporate America working as a mechanical engineer, five years with Rolls-Royce. Her strong work ethic and drive to succeed quickly identified her as a high potential employee. However, without an understanding of boundaries and a healthy work-life balance, these qualities led to burnout while she was on a one-year international assignment in Bristol, England. She resigned from the engineering job. Soon afterward, she was introduced to The Navigators and met Al Miyashita, the Mission Director of NavWorkplace, based in NYC. She became excited about workplace ministry because of her own experiences and hopes that the lessons she’s learned can help others avoid the same. Her energy is now focused on helping Christians flourish both professionally and spiritually in their workplaces.

Today Emily lives in Manhattan and attends Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

Nav20s Second Saturday Brunch - Dec 9, 2017

Dr. Jerry Herbert will join us again for another rich discussion of Citizenship as Discipleship: the Politics of Embrace. The hope is that it will prepare us to go home for the Christmas holidays, unafraid to reflect on the political situation (whatever we might think of it) with family and friends who might not eat, drink and breathe this stuff as much as we do.
