While I thought I was done flapping my gums for the year, one more opportunity has presented itself.
Thanks to some Board Members from Zephyr Point Conference Center, I am headed to Southern California on December 6th to share some thoughts and engage in some conversation about the current state of the church and the political season in which we find ourselves. I hope we will not only commiserate, vent, and challenge one another about the state of our culture and country, but we will also find ways to faithfully respond with courage, compassion, and a vision of hope.
Not all of my speaking invitations are open to the public, so if you are in the area, I would love to see you. This is also pretty last-minute, so any help in spreading the word in your networks or to your SoCal friends would be much appreciated.
Details, text, and a flyer are below.
Peace,
