I hear the words evolution and faith used like antonyms and can't help but wonder if there may be a way they can both be true... (?)

Absolutely,
Whilst they are two completely different articles, there is nothing in either of them that precludes the other. Where some people get caught up is either not fully understanding one or not wanting to accept the other. An open mind generally yields to some degree of acceptance of both. I could postulate all day as to why some people think one (indeed even BB theory/literal genesis theology) precludes the other, but I have yet to meet someone who can argue a scientific/logical case against the bible without misconstruing the scripture. Or indeed why some religions can't displace evolution theory without mis-representing science.
I think it comes down to our personal disposition as to what we are
a) comfortable believing,
b) understand to be the more logical reallity or
c) have repeated personal experiences that cannot be explained using current scientific understanding.
And sometimes you just need to go with your gut feeling
