LIFE TALKS

October 9, 2024 @ 6:30 pm – 7:15 pm
A Closer Look at Christian Nationalism
REV. DR. SAMUEL GIERE
Current political polarization compounded by the nation’s journey to the 2024 presidential election is pinching people of faith on both sides of the divide. With attention to manifestations of Christian Nationalism, Dr. Giere will talk about how faith in Christ forms us to navigate our life together as communities of diverse political commitments.
Our premiere adult education ministry includes inspiring weekly LIFE Talks and small group connections through LIFE Groups. The goal of LIFEU is to inspire you to “Live In Faith Everyday” (LIFE) rooted in the words of Jesus from John 10:10: “I came that they may have LIFE, and have it abundantly.” This year we seek to “Flourish Together,” wrestling with timely and relevant issues with those who know what it takes to flourish together in our relationships and communities.
