SUMMARY:The Cost of Ambition with Miroslav Volf
DESCRIPTION:What if your ambition is quietly making you a worse person?\n\n
 It is one of the most uncomfortable questions of our time — and one of th
 e most important.\n\nWe live in a world that celebrates striving\, achievem
 ent\, competition\, and getting ahead. But what if the relentless drive to 
 be better than others is shaping us in ways we barely notice? What if it is
  eroding our character\, straining our relationships\, and pulling us away 
 from the life we were actually made for?\n\nThis September\, world-renowned
  theologian and Yale professor Miroslav Volf comes to Calgary for a weekend
  of lectures\, workshops\, and worship exploring the spiritual cost of ambi
 tion — and what it means to follow Christ in a competitive world. This ev
 ent is presented in partnership with the Chair of Christian Thought at the 
 University of Calgary.\n\nWhether you come for the free Friday presentation
  or spend Saturday in deeper conversation\, this weekend will help you exam
 ine how ambition shapes your faith\, work\, relationships\, and inner life.
