We empower people of any background to pursue their purpose through community, exploration, and service.

Our group from Lexington Christian Academy is having a blast in sunny Siglufjörður this week! From serving in the local forest on conservation projects to enjoying lunch beside waterfalls, we’ve been soaking in every moment and every laugh along the way.

There’s something special about immersing ourselves in both community and creation. We get to witness the beauty of this magnificent world, build meaningful connections, and play a small part in making it a little brighter.

The best guides are still willing to be travelers. 🌍

This week, we’re hosting the first of two cohorts from the Lilly Youth Theology Network as they embark on a journey of purpose, reflection, and service in Iceland.

These leaders have spent their careers helping young people explore vocation, discernment, faith, and calling. Now, for the next week, they’ll step into the experience themselves. Together, we’ll serve alongside the Salvation Army, share best practices, wrestle with big questions, and create space to reflect on our own journeys.

One of the things we love most about this work is that none of us ever graduate from the process of becoming. The work of purpose isn’t something we teach from a distance. It’s something we continue to practice ourselves.

A huge thank you to the Forum for Theological Exploration () for making this partnership possible.

Stay tuned for stories from the road, reflections from the group, and perhaps the most important question of all:

What will be this cohort’s favorite collab? 👀☕️🍦

4 things we love about the Azores 🌊🌿

1️⃣ The landscapes don’t make sense.

Volcanic craters. Black sand beaches. Hot springs. Waterfalls. Hydrangea-lined roads. Cows standing on cliffs above the Atlantic. Every five minutes you find yourself saying, “Wait... stop the car.”

2️⃣ The culture moves at human speed.

Long conversations. Long meals. Small communities. People who still seem to know their neighbors. The Azores feels like a place that quietly refuses to participate in the race the rest of us are running.

3️⃣ The islands reward curiosity.

You can spend the morning hiking to a crater lake, the afternoon helping a local community organization, and the evening eating seafood while watching the sun disappear into the Atlantic. Exploration isn’t something you schedule here. It just happens.

4️⃣ Compass goes there now. 👀

Which means we’re bringing the same blend of service, reflection, adventure, deep community, and purpose-focused experiences that we’ve spent years building in Iceland to a new corner of the world.

But hey, if you doubt us, let’s bet on it. Come and see for yourself and if you don’t like it then we’ll buy you a collab next time we’re in Iceland together.

Jkjkjk you’re going to love it here. Also, we never give away Collab.

It’s the final day for our team in Iceland! 🇮🇸
Over the past week, students engaged in environmental stewardship and forestry work while integrating their experiences with honors-level academic reflection and coursework. From conversations around sustainability and community development to exploring Reykjavík as a living example of urbanization and cultural identity, the classroom looked a little different this week.

Hard to beat walking Rainbow Road as part of a case study in urban planning and social change, right?

Tomorrow the team begins the journey home to New York City and Grenada!

And we are here! 🇮🇸☀️ team is in the house. Nothing like a walk down Rainbow Road to kick the jet lag.

Our early arrival even got to preview some of the sights with our fabulous instructor Jenny!

Sunshine, sightseeing, good vibes… and now some sleep ✌🏾

The sun is still shining on us even though our 2026 Purpose Expedition has come to a close ☀️

We wrapped up the week with a day around the Golden Circle, one final Table Talk, bonfires, wandering Reykjavík, and honestly… just a lot of joy.

Somewhere between the volcanic landscapes of Krýsuvík, late night conversations, service projects, and the specific kind of exhausted delirium that kicks in halfway through the week, this group became something really meaningful. Not just over the last seven days, but over the months we’ve spent journeying together since November.

Grateful for the memories, the laughter, the depth, the growth, and all the weird little moments that somehow become the ones you remember most. Turns out volcanic landscapes and homemade bread will do something to a group of people.

We’re SO grateful for all our partners (👀 !) who made this possible and to EACH OF YOU who were a part of this special cohort.

Special thanks to for funding this incredible journey!

Our Purpose Expedition program is nearing the end of their week in Iceland 🌋

Did you know Iceland sits in the path of major North Atlantic Ocean currents? This means that trash and marine debris from across the Atlantic can wash up on its shores. Which is both fascinating and also a little horrifying when you’re standing on a black sand beach holding a water bottle that definitely did not begin its life in Iceland.

That’s where Compass groups come in! We didn’t put the trash there but someone’s got to pick it up. Especially before our seal friends do (whom we get to meet, quite often).

Of course, when you’re not picking trash up off the beach and communing with the seals you meet, you’re OBVIOUSLY hiking up a volcano. Right? RIGHT?

And if you hike up a volcano you must come down it. And if you must come down it, then why not slide...

So between volcano hikes, learning to make bread, Compass Time overlooking lupine fields JUST about ready to burst purple, and some good old fashioned Table Talk, we’d say the week has been pretty decent.

When the sun shines in Iceland, it SHINES ☀️

Our Purpose Expedition crew has officially landed and is settling in at Krýsuvík with .

Jet lag doesn’t stand a chance against smiles like these and views like this.
Hike a volcano? Yes please.
Sulfuric hot springs? Questionable smell, undeniable 10/10.

Strong first day out here… might nod off during Table Talk but þetta reddast ✌🏾

We talk a lot about modeling healthy social media use… so we’re going to actually do it.

After a full (and very good) March, we’re stepping away for a short social media sabbatical.

We’ll be celebrating Easter, leaning into the start of spring, and getting ready for a full stretch of trips in May and June.

We love sharing stories from the journey with you. That’s not going anywhere.

We’ll just be living them off screen for a bit.

brb — even the elves need a break 🧝‍♂️

See you later this month.
