UPDATE Week of September 27

 FINDING OUR RHYTHM

We have learned over the years to ramp up our programming for the Fellows. Each week in September, we map on one more element until we get to our weekly rhythm. This week, we have finally arrived! All that to say, the Fellows have not been idle. Far from it! Here are a few things we have been up to the last week. 

Boys and Girls Round Tables

Our first three Round Tables have been hosted this year by Fellows Alumns! How cool is that?

Thank you to Hayes and Haley Mabry!


Thank you to the Miller Mansion (Caleb, Owen, Sam and Wil)


Thank you to the Hawthorne House (Bryn, Caroline, Louise and Michelle)


What a gift you all are!


Jayson Sloan for the Win

We had to make a quick substitute for our Leader Lunch two weeks ago. Fortunately, we have an incredible bull pen. 

Jayson Sloan, one of our newest Board Members, stepped up and brought the heat! 

I had the privilege of going to hear him twice that week as I visited St. Peters World Outreach


Dr. Anthony Atala blows our Minds

We had the honor of spending a couple hours over at WFIRM (Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine) with Dr. Anthony Atala. 

Dr. Atala shared his story as well as insights on how his faith has impacted his work and how his work has impacted his faith. It was mind-blowing!

Afterward, we were able to get a tour of the facilities. What a cool experience to see Real Life Science NON-Fiction!

Thank you Tony!


Hanging Out at Hanging Rock

We were in Emi's element two Fridays ago as we took class on the road to spend the morning learning from God's Creation.

The crew.

Meg does not want me to tell you who won

What an awesome day! We are so blessed in the Piedmont to be so near so many state parks and other beautiful places. 



Center For Creative Leadership

Thursday and Friday, we spent in Greensboro with the Greensboro Fellows, no less, at the center for Creative Leadership. 

We spent two days thinking and learning about Self-Awareness, Communication, Learning Agility, and Influence. 

Thank you Creative Team for your facilitation. 

We ended our time together sharing Vision Statements and speaking truth over each other. POWERFUL!


Mattie's Wedding!

To no one's surprise Mattie was a beautiful bride!

And threw a party for the ages. So happy for them (Mattie and Trad). May the Lord rest his favor on you, your marriage, your family, and the community where you live.

Rahel's Engagement!

We also celebrate first year Fellow Rahel's engagement. 

You are one lucky ducky Zach!


Congrats to you both!


September Birthdays!

September is definitely loaded with birthdays. This ain't all of them, but last week we celebrated Sydney's, Louise's and Caleb's back to back to back!

Thomas Laws is coming up this Thursday. 

Even the Co-Director had one!

September 2025

  September 2025 It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the tenth class of Winston-Salem Fellows! We can’t wait for you to meet them. The first month has already been full and exciting, and we can’t wait to share some highlights with you. Plus, if you read all the way to the end, you’ll get a special update on what the very first class of Winston-Salem Fellows is up to today! Video Loading    For the past year, we’ve been dreaming about creating a new video to share the Fellows’ stories and highlight the impact of this program. Thanks to Jed’s help, that dream is becoming a reality and we can’t wait to share the finished product with you! Annual Alumni Labor Day Cookout  We kicked off the year with our annual Alumni Labor Day Cookout and it may have been the best weather we’ve ever had for this event!

October 2025

October 2025 The Carolina Classic Fair seems to usher in fall here in Winston-Salem. We are now in the full swing of our Fellow's schedule. We've celebrated birthdays, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and more!  Happy Birthday Alana! Sweet Alana is so easy to celebrate! Dharma and Gracie, from the class of '24, threw Alana a party and planned an early morning hike for our girl that loves the great outdoors! Round Table We've continued to be hosted by some incredible alumni and have done a terrible job of taking pictures. Above, Kevin was leading us in worship and Jed (dressed as a pirate) was capturing footage for our video. Thank you to all our hosts this month: Ava, Ellie, Eliza, and Hardy; Molly and Lucy; Drew, Kevin, and Jed; Steve and Christy!  Leader Lunch We are so honored and humbled by the men and women who take the time to invest in the Fellows year after year and share their stories.

May 2026

The Winston-Salem Fellows class of 2025–2026 has officially graduated! We had a wonderful end to the year celebrating all that this class and our year together.  As we close out another incredible year, be sure to check out an update on the Fellows class of 2023–2024 below. We’re excited to share what they’ve been doing since graduation and how they continue to make an impact in Winston-Salem and beyond. Happy Birthday, William! William’s birthday is actually in August, but summer birthdays are always a surprise celebration around here. Although, since we celebrated at the last Round Table, I’m not sure it was much of a surprise after all.  For the guy who can’t have peanuts and doesn’t like most chocolate, birthday cake ice cream saved the day!   Leader Lunch Our last Leader Lunch of the year was with Charlie Barham at Cassia Capital. While Charlie has an  impressive résumé, much of our conversation centered on his passion for Jesus and his leadership with Bible Stu...
