Story Night | FaithTech PHX
Overview
The tech industry is great at telling you what success looks like and what our stories should sound like. But God has crafted your story in a way that’s unique, fascinating, challenging, and worth unpacking in community.
Story Night is a dinner where a tech executive shares what has shaped their life — not their latest launch, but the deeper stuff. Purpose. Doubt. Faith.
This Story Night, you'll hear from Joe Hurst, CEO of VEROOT, who will talk openly about how his faith has shaped the way he works, leads, and thinks about what technology is actually for (we can tweak this)
After his story, we'll create a space to share your own story and room to reflect on what you're hearing.
This isn't a church service, and it's not a time to pitch either.
It's a room full of people in tech and business (or interested in technology and/or business) having the kind of conversation that rarely happens — about meaning, about Jesus, about what it looks like to do honest work in a world that glamorizes the wrong things.
Whether you follow Jesus, you're curious about faith, or you want to explore what infusing more meaning in your work could look like — we're hosting this night for you.
Bring a friend. Bring your questions, your story. It will be a great evening together.
Hosted by FaithTech PHX, part of a global community of technologists exploring faith.
What to Expect
Dinner Together — A meal with others in tech who are thinking about more than their next sprint.
A Brief Thought Piece from FaithTech's Founder — We put enormous faith in technology to improve our lives. But what if what we're actually searching for isn't something we can build?
Joe Hurst's Story — How a founder's faith changed the way he thinks about his work, his ambition, and his life.
Space to Reflect & Share — Time to process, share your own experiences, and ask real questions. No one will put you on the spot.
