Welcome to Two-Handed Warriors! A humorous name for a friendly conversation exploring the (false) dichotomies that often divide us: faith vs. science, social justice vs. witness, business vs. ministry, art vs. STEM, culture-making vs. church planting, spiritual formation vs. theology, Hollywood vs. higher education, professional studies vs. the liberal arts.

We dream of helping foster a movement of friends helping one another lead lives of other-centered service supported by both the life of the mind and the life of the Spirit. Anyone aspiring to become as ambidextrous in their life and leadership as Inigo Montoya was with his sword.

En-garde!

-Gary & Sue
