A Season of Hope
Christmas reminds us that God entered a world marked by injustice, fear, and oppression, not with power as the world understands it, but with the vulnerable strength of a child.

A Marian Homecoming
Our theme this year, “In the One, we are one,” after Pope Leo XIV’s own motto, invites us to bring our whole selves, our professional lives and relationships, into this mission.
The Hour Nears
The mission entrusted to us is both simple and demanding. It calls for leaders who are humble, ethical, and unafraid to serve.
Christ in the Heart of the City
As part of the TLI family, you are living this mission every day. Your witness, prayer, and professional engagement help form a culture in which Christ’s presence is not theoretical but tangible.

Called to Lead, Reflections from Charlie Kirk’s Memorial
Grief is real. Loss is sharp. But what we saw on Sunday, what we felt, is that hope is real too. We belong to a story bigger than any one of us. Charlie lived boldly, believing America’s promise, believing youth could be formed, believing that truth was worth defending at any cost.
