Every startup begins with a spark. First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta is now accepting applications for the 2026 cohort of its Epiphany program, a faith-based social entrepreneurship incubator supporting startups tackling today’s most pressing challenges. The deadline to apply is January 6! You may apply via the link here firstpresatl.org/epiphany. Epiphany is an evergreen initiative that equips entrepreneurs developing innovative solutions to social issues with funding, mentorship, and strategic guidance. If you are an emerging founder with a vision to address societal challenges often overlooked by traditional markets, Epiphany offers the resources needed to help your venture grow. Examples of qualifying ventures include businesses that employ formerly incarcerated individuals or adults with developmental challenges, as well as enterprises offering services such as coding training for refugees or mechanical skills development in low-income communities. Since its launch, Epiphany has awarded nearly half a million dollars in grants and supported multiple successful ventures, including Refuge Coffee Co., PadSplit, and Purposeful Gourmet Foods. Modeled in part after the format of Shark Tank, the program provides early-stage entrepreneurs with capital, mentorship, and access to a network focused on impact areas such as hunger, homelessness, housing, refugee resettlement, racial equity, poverty, healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability.

CANDLER PARK — Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q has made the list of <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=19226327" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Foursquare's 10 most popular barbecue places</a>. <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=19226327" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ABC News</a> recently posted the list on its website, which includes joints in Texas, North Carolina, New York City, San Diego and Kansas City. The post about Fox Bros. reads: <blockquote> When a restaurant tells you up front to "loosen your belt," you know you're in for serious eating. While the barbecue at Fox Bros is often referred to as "Texas-style," the restaurant prefers to call itself southern-style. But the mix-up in understandable: Fox Bros was born when its owner couldn't find barbecue in Atlanta that reminded him of what he ate growing up in Texas. </blockquote>
