Peace is one of the great themes of the Bible and occurs 651 times in Scripture (more than other key themes such as hope, grace, and even faith); and yet many Bible readers and seekers cannot access the immediate next steps to find and live in God’s peace today. Peace is present in the beginning of Genesis when God fellowships with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Shalom of God is a personification of the New Heaven and New Earth at the culmination of Revelation when God renews the broken creation and cosmos, and His people take up their residence in His physical realm. When God reigns over a place and a people, it is a kingdom of peace and tranquility.

Drawing from campus ministry leadership, Christian formation, and intellectual engagement, this talk explores how Christian leaders can hold deep conviction together with genuine compassion through lives of service and mission. Elli reflects on forming leaders—especially young adults—who pursue holiness, seek justice, and lead with humility and courage in a divided and rapidly changing world.

Intensifying competition among major powers is reshaping global influence and regional stability, while societies are increasingly polarized in many countries. This new era is defined by contested norms, shifting alliances, and the erosion of trust. As volatility and compounding risks intensify, organizations of all types must now continuously adapt to a highly complex set of dynamics. Geoeconomics is increasingly at the heart of corporate decision-making, as companies look to develop greater geopolitical intelligence to address this highly fluid environment where long-held assumptions about security, sovereignty and impact are being challenged in real time.

In this context, it’s crucial for businesses, governments, and civil society to work together to find common solutions and take decisive action. Through its Centres, the World Economic Forum integrates public-private efforts to achieve greater impact.

This session examines how human dignity, understood through the lens of Imago Dei, can reshape leadership, economic systems, and social responsibility in an increasingly transactional world. It proposes a relational framework that places people at the center of decision making while maintaining excellence, innovation, and accountability. Drawing on the wisdom embodied in the life of Jesus Christ, the discussion highlights leadership grounded in service, stewardship, and responsibility to others. When success is defined not only by outputs but by human flourishing, institutions gain greater resilience, trust, and long term impact. Such an approach offers a compelling pathway toward more inclusive, sustainable, and humane systems.

In a world of injustice and division, maintain Christian values and be a witness through justice, diplomacy, and faith.

What does it look like to share the gospel effectively in 2026, especially in seemingly secular spaces (e.g. Silicon Valley)? How can leaders with great resources utilize their worldly blessings towards opening up essential dialogues about meaning and death? What is the cultural environment and some of the unique patterns that we observe, especially when interacting with millennials / gen-z / gen-alpha leaders in the context of faith? What is the relationship between faith and work in 2026?

Drawing from experiences as a Korean-American Gen-Z leader who is an active apologist as a Stanford ministry advisor, a Meta software engineer, and a tech/mentorship entrepreneur, Enok explores such questions in depth through testimonies and intellectual reflections rooted in Christian worldview. 
He provides these reflections with an emphasis on the importance of genuine love and wisdom rooted in the self-sacrificial love and grace of Jesus; a posture of grace is bold and humble, confident and gentle, wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

During the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026, numerous Christians and Christian initiatives were actively engaged. This panel will look back, reflect, and process these experiences, exploring how Christian values and principles can meaningfully influence the spheres of business and politics within the context of the WEF.
