Self-care for renewal and navigating identities
A blog post Women Scholars and Professionals
At The Well This Week
We have a new podcast episode for you that explores sustaining practices for a full and rich life with Janice McWilliams, author of Restore My Soul: Reimagining Self-Care for a Sustainable Life. It includes practical ideas for better breaks, the difference between renewal and recovery, and a great prayer to borrow.
"The best place for anything in our inner world to be experienced is with Jesus."
We also have a piece from journalist Liuan Huska thinking about how she pivots between writing for Christian and non-Christian audiences. If you sometimes exist in Christian space, and sometimes exist in non-Christian space, this piece is for you!
“You may not be a journalist. But whether you are a Christian graduate student with an advisor who doesn’t share your faith, a Christian professor at a secular college, or a professional who wants to bring your faith to bear in your work, perennial questions arise: How much do I reveal about myself? What is important for others to know about me? How do I maintain a sense of integrity as I navigate different audiences?”

InterVarsity's Black Scholars and Professionals have two invitations for you!
Black faculty pursuing tenure or promotion are convening monthly on Zoom to provide prayer support and encouragement. The group will spur each other on to good works as they set and reach goals in the tenure process. From time to time, tenured Black faculty will join to provide tips and insights that helped along the way. Please contact Felicia Anderson for more information and to register.
