VISION AND MISSION

ALL DREAMS SEEM AUDACIOUS AT FIRST.

Whether explicitly or implicitly, every company and organization operates with a worldview from which their particular vision and mission derive—from which their identity is formed and their imagination is given limitation and possibility. Rooted in the clearest of philosophical convictions, therefore, while also surrendering to the creative process, it is out of the totality of our worldview that our imagination is enlivened and our vision and mission is derived.

The means by which we will fulfill this mission includes publishing written and recorded words, on-line courses, live trainings, consulting services, and, as we grow, global cross-cultural immersion experiences, dialogue campaigns, and many other amazing ideas to be yet imagined.

VISION

Flume sees an increasingly dignified world teeming with the good, true, and beautiful; and a flourishing human race with the capacity, clarity, and creativity to enjoy it forever.

MISSION

Flume exists to enliven a vibrant and dignified understanding of human nature in the public square; to cultivate the redemption of past and present injustices and suffering throughout the world; and to foster the good, true, and beautiful in and through every area of every society, culture, and subculture.

OUR MISSION, EXTRAPOLATED…

Today's biggest challenges are not cultural decay, political corruption, crashed economies, global poverty, racism, or human trafficking. While these realities are disheartening and disastrous they remain mere symptoms of deeper rooted problems. Whereby, to resolve the social, cultural, and global challenges of our day (while also preventing them from popping up somewhere else) we must attended to their roots.

Seeing the magnitude of this task many say the future of humanity is dire. We say, however, that can be true only if people choose to believe it. In contrast, the degree to which we seek truth, affirm our human dignity, develop our unique talents, maximize our creativity, and empower others to do the same is the degree to which there is extraordinary hope to foster vibrant and humane cultures and subcultures. And Flume is being developed to ensure that hope is realized.

Flume works to help the West and the broader world navigate their many challenges, and not merely away from those challenges, but instead, through them toward redemption and flourishing.

Cultivated in and through this intellectually deep and creative mode of being, therefore, Flume is coming into existence to:

  1. Foster flourishing and humane cultures and subcultures that embody and enliven our felt humanity, the unity of human diversity, and the good, true, and beautiful—not limited to within institutions, industries, nations, states, cities, communities, families, companies, and organizations.

  2. Help thought leaders and those who serve others foster their moral imagination to find clear, comprehensive, humane, and redemptive ways to interpret, diagnose, and resolve the many personal, family, and social issues that deter our health and excellence.

  3. Foster redemption by helping resolve, remedy, and restore the vast stories of injustices and dehumanization throughout human history.

  4. Help hurting individuals, families, and communities find meaning, healing, redemption, and flourishing in and through their suffering.

  5. Foster a humane love for leaning, reading, writing, storytelling, the arts, and cross-cultural experiences.

  6. Advocate for a highly positive, dignified, and holistic view of the human person in the public square and every human institution.

  7. Establish a healthy, humane, and ontologically coherent view of human diversity.

  8. Foster humane discourse in the public square that both honors human variation and seeks truth above all else.

  9. Help the West and world heal its many divisions by fostering the natural fusing of the many false dichotomies that have fractured it.

  10. Foster insightful, organic, and bottoms-up solutions to personal, social, and global challenges.

  11. Foster the capacity in leadership to connect the humane qualitative, quantitative, and communicative components into their identity and services.

  12. Counter the narratives of narcissism and nihilism with a vision of clarity, meaning, truth, optimism, and hope.
