Summer Reading Group

This group will be led by Garwood (Gar) Anderson, a Distinguished Fellow in Biblical Studies at the Lumen Center and a Professor of New Testament at Nashotah House.

Featuring pastor, author, speaker, and apologist - Gavin Ortlund
Tuesday, August 5 | 7:00 - 8:30 PM
FREE

Join us for this evening of thoughtful conversation with Gavin Ortlund, Christian apologist and YouTube commentator, will diagnose our current cultural moment and then offer specific strategies for how Christians can respond with the hope of the gospel in ways that speak to our disenchanted age. Christians in the 21st century may particularly benefit from considering (1) how the doctrine of God serves as an antidote to modern despair and (2) how the beauty of the gospel can strike modern hearts with renewed power.
