As usual, our monthly update comes to you with lots of good news in a world where good news is hard to come by. Society is shifting as we speak; the legal rulings of this week will have far reaching consequences that will require people of faith to innovate in ways we perhaps have not done before.

Press Release: Invested Faith Announces Fourth Class of Fellows. Washington, DC: Invested Faith is excited to announce the names of their fourth class of Invested Faith Fellows. These faith-rooted social innovators are working to address systemic issues of justice in their communities while building a sustainable financial model.

Our monthly news arrives in your inbox in the middle of such terrible news assaulting us from all corners. Our world is not okay, and death seems to be the only narrative by which we’re living these days.  Read on to hear some words and good news of hope for the future.

"Death and resurrection” is the foundational story of our faith. It’s a conviction on which Invested Faith is built and it’s what keeps us going.

It’s a story where everyone wins. In January of 2022, Invested Faith awarded teacher Managerrie Winston a $5000 unrestricted grant as an Invested Faith Fellow. Winston, a high school teacher in Houston, TX with seven years of experience in Title I Schools, had noticed a lack of diversity and cultural relevance in the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum offered to students.

I wouldn’t characterize Lent as a wildly popular season. There are so many other things I know I’d prefer to do than to engage in the work of change. Laundry, anyone? Keep reading to find out more about the hard work of Lent and changing the world.

We are so proud to share our first Invested Faith Impact Report. It’s hard to believe we now have 13 Fellows, in 9 different states, doing the hard work of healing the world. This inaugural Impact Report offers a glimpse into the progress Invested Faith has made in the past year and offers a generous helping of hope, not only for our Fellows and the positive impact they are making on the world, but for the future and mission of our churches and institutions - who now have a progressive option for sending their witness forward.

The world changes when people act believing that hope is around the corner and that it is our holy work to usher it in.

Listen as Invested Faith founder, Rev. Dr. Amy Butler talks about Invested Faith and this new model of healing the world.

As it turns out, God is feeling the need for making things right just as much, if not more, than we are. The prophet says that our perpetual disregard of God’s way is wearying to the Divine. In other words, God is getting sick of us, and frankly I don’t blame her. “But listen and look!”, the prophet tells us. Even with the despair of the situation, God has not given up on making things right; God is sending a sign, an invitation to turn again to the work of hope and wholeness.

Meet our new class of Invested Faith Fellows and listen in as founder Amy Butler and new Fellow, Alisha Gordon, chat.
