Core Convictions

Faith and Reason

Faith and reason are not enemies. They are complementary paths to truth:

  • Reason discovers truths accessible to natural investigation

  • Faith receives truths beyond natural discovery

  • Integration produces wisdom deeper than either alone

Excellence as Worship

Technical excellence is a form of worship:

  • Craftsmanship honors the Creator of order

  • Integrity reflects divine truthfulness

  • Service embodies love of neighbor

  • Stewardship exercises responsible dominion

Intellectual Humility

True wisdom begins with recognizing limits:

  • Finite knowledge — we see through a glass darkly

  • Fallibility — we can be wrong

  • Mystery — some things exceed comprehension

  • Growth — learning never ends

The Examined Life

"The unexamined life is not worth living."

— Socrates

Philosophy isn’t ivory tower speculation. It’s the practical discipline of:

  • Thinking clearly — logic and analysis

  • Living well — ethics and virtue

  • Understanding reality — metaphysics

  • Knowing truth — epistemology
