Here’s what Bryan’s recommender had to say:
Chef Bryan offers so much of his time and expertise to the Division of Calling & Spiritual Life. A Certified Master Chef (who also had his own long-running TV cooking segment in Salt Lake City!), Bryan has generously helped our student cooks learn to prepare delicious meals for a large group of people. He’s taught them how to keep things healthy, consider dietary restrictions, and — of course — make it all flavorful. He even coached the CSL staff through preparing a Japanese meal for our Christmas party. Bryan is a vibrant, joyful, and encouraging presence, and we are so thankful that he is part of our community.

What is the Mustard Seed Moments Initiative?
In Matthew 13 Jesus tells the parable of the kingdom of heaven being like a mustard seed (the smallest seed) and when it is planted, it grows into one of the largest plants that can be a shelter for the birds.
At Valpo we live together in community, and all over campus people are not only surviving but thriving because of the mustard seed moments that create community and collaboration among us. Sometimes in the busyness of each day we can miss the chance to celebrate and acknowledge the gift that these seeds are for our community. Therefore, we wanted to create a space to lift these up and celebrate the joy it is to be in a place of community and collaboration and the small seeds that make it possible.
Please use the form below to lift up someone in the campus community who is creating these “mustard seed moments.” All those who are recommended will be acknowledged in the Calling & Spiritual Life newsletter and be featured in our Mustard Seed Moments stories.
