✨ Residents Retreat Recap ✨

This past weekend we had a moment to rest and reset as a group Vocation House at Spencewood , having the chance to get away from the hustle of Austin and UT before the start of the semester.

It was wonderful, and relaxing, and the hospitality we experienced as a group was precisely what was needed.

We casted vision for the year ahead. We quieted our minds and encountered God through prayer. We frolicked in the nearby fields. We sat by the pool, consumed lots of coffee, and experienced the best chocolate chip cookies known to man.

We are blessed at Hill House to have such a wonderful residency program, and look forward to this year ahead with these beloved students. 🌙🍪☕️

Life in the university is a unique season for exploring who we are, what we believe, and where our lives are headed. Yet in a world of uncertainty—and pressure to succeed—how do we navigate the tension between building a secure future and pursuing what is true, good, and beautiful?

Join us for a dialogue between two experts from different worldviews. They will speak on these questions and more during a moderated conversation, followed by time for audience Q&A. Food from Union Catering will be provided. RSVP link in bio!

Join us for a lunch and interview conversation with Dr. Malcolm Guite on Friday, January 23rd at 2104 Nueces St from 11:30-1:30! We’ll eat around 11:45 and hear from Dr. Guite at 12:15. Non-students, please email [email protected] if you’re coming.

Dr. Guite is an English poet, singer-songwriter, Anglican priest and academic. Born in Nigeria to British expatriate parents, Guite earned degrees from the University of Cambridge and Durham University. His research interests include the intersection of religion and the arts, and the examination of the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis and Owen Barfield, and British poets such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was a Bye-Fellow and chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge, and an associate chaplain of St Edward King and Martyr, Cambridge. On several occasions, he has taught as visiting faculty at several colleges and universities in England and North America.

Guite is the author of five books of poetry, including two chapbooks and three full-length collections, as well as several books on Christian faith and theology. Guite has a decisively simple, formalist style in his poems, many of which are sonnets, and he stated that his aim is to “be profound without ceasing to be beautiful.” Guite performs as a singer and guitarist fronting the Cambridgeshire-based blues, rhythm and blues, and rock band Mystery Train. He also has a YouTube page, where he shares his passions and musings with his viewers.
