An Afternoon with John Pavlovitz

The greatest border crisis we face is the one separating Church and State. There’s nothing more dangerous than professed Christians who have no real interest in Jesus. They’re rather easy to spot if you’re paying attention. They’re usually the ones most loudly preaching religious liberty while methodically swallowing up the personal freedoms and elemental rights of other people. Most telling, however, is that their theology is built on an idea that Jesus fully rejected: compulsion. Christian Nationalism isn’t coming to America; it’s here. Now, the question is, “What can we do to stop it?” Join us for an honest conversation about avoiding theocracy.
John Pavlovitz is a writer, pastor, activist, and storyteller from Wake Forest, North Carolina. Over the past decade, his thought-provoking blog, Stuff That Needs to Be Said, has reached a diverse worldwide audience of millions. A twenty-five-year veteran in the trenches of local church ministry, Pavlovitz is committed to equality, diversity, and justice—both inside and outside faith communities.
Tickets are $11/per person (to offset the cost to the Church) and can be purchased online or at the door.
