SUMMARY:Faith in Business
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Faith in Business breakfast! \nArtificial Intelligence. Authentic Faith.\n\nAI is here — writing emails\, generating strategy\, screening resumes\, analyzing data\, and making decisions faster than most teams ever could. The question isn’t whether artificial intelligence will shape the future of work. It already is. \n\n\nThe real question is: how will your faith shape the way you use it? \n\n\nAt this month’s Faith in Business breakfast\, we’ll explore what Christian conviction looks like in an age of automation. Is AI simply a tool for efficiency and profit — or does it raise deeper questions about ethics\, human dignity\, relationships\, and dependence on God? \n\n\nAs technology advances toward increasingly autonomous systems — from machine learning to robotics — many are asking bigger questions: \n\nWill super-intelligent systems become godlike in power?\nIs AI the mark of the beast?\nCould it harm our mental and spiritual health?\nOr is this one of the most significant tools humanity has ever been entrusted to steward?\n\nJoin us for a candid conversation about artificial intelligence and Christian faith — and what it means to lead responsibly in a world shaped by both. \n\nFree breakfast. Bold questions. No artificial answers. \nRegistration is required.More about the Faith in Business series can be found at faithinbusinessseries.com \n\nMeet the Panel\nCorey White\nSecurity Analyst\, Future Point of View \nCorey Patrick White is a certified cyber intelligence investigator (CCII) and a security analyst at Future Point of View. He frequently speaks and educates audiences about the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence for industries\, organizations\, and individuals. Among other stages\, he has spoken at TEDx Oklahoma City on the topic of bias in artificial intelligence systems. He is a former journalist and a graduate of Salt and Light Leadership Training (SALLT). \n  \nDavid Miller\nOwner\, Tide Dry Cleaning | Seminary Professor \nDavid Miller integrates business leadership and gospel mission as a unified calling. With a Doctorate of Ministry in missions and church planting\, David has planted and pastored churches while also leading Tide Dry Cleaning franchises in Oklahoma City and Dallas. An AI enthusiast and practitioner\, he views technology as both opportunity and responsibility — asking how innovation can serve human flourishing while keeping Christ at the center of workplace influence. \n  \nThomas Hill\, III\nCEO\, Kimray \nAs CEO of Kimray\, Thomas carries forward a third-generation legacy rooted in biblical values while transparently sharing his own journey of addiction\, recovery\, and renewed purpose. Through Recovering Leadership\, Monday Musings\, and the Kimmell Foundation\, he champions healthy\, values-driven workplace culture and deeper spiritual lives. Thomas’s mentoring\, advocacy for mental health\, and support of recovery ministries reflect his commitment to Christ-centered leadership in our city.

SUMMARY:Men's Prayer Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Get away.\nGet un-busy.\nGet uninterrupted.\nAnd renew your spirit.\nCome join us for this un-distracted retreat experience\, where hearts are stirred\, souls are refreshed\, and bonds are forged in the presence of the Divine. \nOver the course of this overnight event\, men from across the Metro will gather for an un-hurried time of prayer\, worship\, and meaningful conversations with other men on the same journey of faith. \nWhether you choose to pray with others\, wander through the woods\, find solace by the lake\, or retreat to a secluded prayer space\, you’ll have the freedom to commune intimately with God and seek His guidance. \n  \nAgenda\nFriday evening \n\n5:30P – Check-in\n6:30P – Dinner\, fellowship\n7:30P – Worship\n7:45P – Message from Tim Hast\n8:30P – Fellowship\, beds\n\nSaturday morning \n\n7:00A – Worship\n7:30A – Devotional from Tim Hast\n7:45A – Breakfast\n8:30A – Personal prayer time\n11:45A – Lunch\n12:15P – Debrief\n1:00P – Dismiss\n\n  \nIn our devotional time together\, we will explore the transforming power of prayer through the lens of Psalm 139. \nMore than a poetic reflection\, this psalm reveals the heart of prayer as an intimate response to God’s deep knowledge of us (his omniscience)\,  His constant presence with us (his omnipresence)\, and His loving invitation to grow and be transformed (his omnipotence). \nWe will walk through six sections of the psalm—from being known and seen by God to surrendering and being led by Him. Through teaching\, discussion\, and reflection\, we’ll learn how to approach prayer not as a chore or something on our check-list\, but as a sacred relationship with the God who created us\, understands us\, and desires to shape us and ultimately make us more like Jesus. \nWhether you’re new to prayer or seeking to deepen your spiritual life\, this will offer a refreshing and honest encounter with God who is closer than you think

SUMMARY:Faith in Business
DESCRIPTION:Why “Who You Are” Matters More Than “What You Do”\nIn a culture obsessed with achievement\, titles\, productivity\, and constant comparison\, it’s easy to build our identity around performance. Success becomes our scoreboard. Failure feels personal. And even high-capacity leaders quietly wonder if they’re ever doing enough. \nBut what if your worth was never meant to come from what you produce? \nAt this month’s Faith in Business breakfast\, Dr. Jessica Rimmer will lead an honest and practical conversation about leading and living from a place of identity rather than pressure\, performance\, or approval. Drawing from biblical wisdom\, leadership experience\, and years of helping organizations and leaders thrive\, Jessica will explore how deeply rooted identity changes the way we lead\, work\, relate\, and make decisions. \nThis conversation is especially relevant for driven professionals\, entrepreneurs\, executives\, and leaders who feel the tension between ambition and peace\, accomplishment and purpose. \nYou’ll leave encouraged\, challenged\, and equipped with a healthier framework for leadership — one rooted in who God says you are\, not merely what you achieve. \n––––––––– \nFaith in Business is designed for busy professionals who want thoughtful conversations about faith\, leadership\, purpose\, and everyday work — without pressure or pretense. Bring a friend\, invite a colleague\, and join leaders from across the city for a meaningful morning of connection and conversation. \nRegistration is required.More about the Faith in Business series can be found at faithinbusinessseries.com \n\nAbout Dr. Jessica Rimmer\nJessica Rimmer\, PhD\, is CEO of Solomon Strategic Advisors with over 20 years of executive experience in leadership development\, strategic growth\, and culture transformation. A former higher education leader\, she holds a doctorate from the University of Oklahoma. Jessica is a sought-after speaker on leadership\, cultural diversity\, and personal success. A citizen of the Cherokee Nation\, she is passionate about helping leaders create meaningful impact in their organizations and communities. \nLearn more about Dr. Jessica Rimmer at JessicaRimmer.com and Solomon Strategic Advisors.
