Faith & Culture Speaker Series September Presentation
Walking Humbly and Confidently with Not-Yet Christians
While hope is a universal trait that can bridge the gap between Christians and the "spiritual but not religious," two conflicting assumptions—that Christian hope is either entirely unique or completely identical to others'—can hinder meaningful connection. By moving past these assumptions, Christians can shed false certainty and learn to walk both humbly and confidently alongside others. Join Rev. Dr. Mike Zeigler, Rev. Matt Peeples, Pastor Dave McGinley, and Rev. Geordie Denholm for a panel discussion on this topic.
