What is and isn’t Scripture meant to do? What’s its role in the Christian life? Why are some of the stories in the Bible so weird?

Join us for an evening with theologian, writer, and professor Brad East as he helps us think deeply and practically about the Bible—what it is, how it works, and why it matters. Whether you're new to reading Scripture or have grown up with it your whole life, this is a night to ask big questions and hear fresh insights.

We’ll have free dinner beforehand at 6:30 pm for those who RSVP in advance. Feel free to invite a friend! Community members are welcome.
