Healthcare touches every one of us — yet the system we rely on is often confusing, expensive, and uneven in the way it serves our communities. As Christians, we’re called to care for the vulnerable, seek justice, and pursue the common good. But what does faithful engagement look like when the issues involve complex insurance markets, opaque hospital pricing, federal regulations, and socio-demographic barriers many Americans face?
This month at Taproom Theology, we’re exploring how compassion and policy meet — and how followers of Jesus can think wisely, act justly, and advocate for a healthcare system that reflects dignity and fairness.Guest Speaker: Shawn Gremminger
Shawn Gremminger is the President &amp; CEO of the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions (NAHCP), a national organization representing employers and public purchasers working to improve healthcare quality, affordability, and equity. 
Shawn is also a member of Christ-Crossman UMC in Falls Church.

Hands-On Home Improvement Workshops - Fair Oaks Mall

TradeWorx Academy

TradeWorx Academy is Northern Virginia’s hands-on home improvement training center, located inside Fair Oaks Mall. We help homeowners, DIYers, and beginners build the skills and confidence to take on real projects—not just watch someone else do them online.

From tile work and drywall repair to backsplash installation, power tools, plumbing basics, and minor electrical, each class is designed to help you understand the process, use the right tools, ask better questions, and feel more capable in your own home. With small class sizes, every participant receives hands-on instruction, direct access to the instructor, and the opportunity to practice skills in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment. At TradeWorx Academy, our mission is simple: empower people with practical knowledge, help them save money on home projects, and give them the confidence that comes from learning how to do it the right way. Visit [www.TradeWorxAcademy.com](http://www.TradeWorxAcademy.com) to explore upcoming workshops, reserve your spot, and see why TradeWorx Academy is changing the way Northern Virginia learns DIY.
