Faith, Tech, and the Emotional Bank Account — Carlus Henry
🎙️ Faith & Tech with Mike Sudyk — new episodes every other Tuesday. This week Mike sits down with Carlus Henry, Grand Rapids-based technologist and speaker. Carlus has spent 25 years in software, currently as Principal Consultant at SageTech, but what really shapes how he shows up is a deep curiosity about people: how teams actually work together, how ego gets in the way of good decisions, and how the messy human parts of building things usually matter more than whatever methodology is trending. Off the clock, Carlus is a proud husband of 25 years and a dad to seven kids — four boys and three girls — plus a granddaughter now in the mix. That's a full house, a full calendar, and a grounding force that seems to inform everything he does. Talk to him for ten minutes and you'll pick up on what people keep saying about him: he's thoughtful, genuinely driven to make things better, and cares about the humans behind the code at least as much as the code itself.

Dan Churchwell is a speaker, writer, and educator at the intersection of faith, technology, and culture. Unlike most commentators on technology and society, he has operated in the worlds he writes and speaks about: as a university lecturer and administrator, executive director of an international medical nonprofit, and work in Fortune 100 companies, a commercial real estate firm, and nonprofit boards. He brings that cross-sector perspective to every stage and page. As Director of Programs & Education at the Acton Institute, he addresses social ethics, AI, and the future of work through conferences, podcasts, and educational programs. For nearly a decade, he has designed and executed more than 200 events, from collegiate seminars to Acton University, the Institute's flagship annual conference. Churchwell draws on classical economics, Christian theology, and media theory to examine how technology shapes communities and moral life, equipping audiences to navigate technological change with wisdom and virtue. He speaks in churches, Christian colleges, and professional settings, and his academic background spans biblical studies, philosophy of religion, ethics, and nonprofit management.

Nate is a nursing professional turned entrepreneur who’s made it his mission to rethink how healthcare is delivered.

Out of that experience, Nate founded HealthBar and Stor(ie) — businesses that seek to bring transparency, care delivery innovation, and payor-model disruption to the healthcare system. Through his healthcare companies, Nate is challenging the traditional hospital-centric, insurance-driven model and empowering nurses to lead in the shift toward decentralized, proactive care. His journey is one of faith, purpose, and innovation.
