Strangely Warmed

Are you tired of watching your beloved cat prance around the house?

Have you found the end of the internet?

Are you tired of NETFLIX asking if you’re still watching whatever show you’re binging for the up-tinth time?

Join Crackers & Grape Juice on Thursday, May 21 at 7:30 PM (eastern) for a live pubcast – think of it as a pub theology in the cloud - as the Jack Nicholson of Christianity joins us to help keep you grounded while you’re grounded.

David Fitch is a professor of Evangelical Theology at Northern Seminary Chicago, IL. He writes on the issues the local church must face in Mission including cultural engagement, leadership, and theology. His theology combines Neo-Anabaptist streams of thought, his commitments to evangelicalism, and his love for political theory. He has lectured and presented on these topics at many seminaries, graduate schools, denominational gatherings, and conferences.

The event is free but we do ask that you register ahead of time. For more information head over to crackersandgrapejuice.com/pubcast.

Register now and we’ll save you a seat on Thursday night.
