Speakers

We invite a stellar group of doers and thinkers to help us understand new ideas and current events; place current events in historical context; examine the Scriptures and hold complex ideas in tension. Our guests come to share their expertise from a diversity of fields: entrepreneurs and investors, disrupters and institutionalists, theologians and pastors, artists and craftsmen, policymakers and pundits.
