Intersect: The Wisdom Forum – This Friday!
This Friday is Intersect: The Wisdom Forum in Binkley Chapel from 6:30-9:30 pm. This is a partnership between the Kern Family Foundations and SEBTS. Our speakers will be giving brief, compelling talks on questions like, “How does our faith intersect with our work? Is work good? Why don’t we love our jobs? How should Christians address poverty? Did the early church practice socialism?”
Below is a list of speakers and the titles of their topics. The first 300 people to register will receive three free books (see below). There’s also free Jubala coffee and waffles, but you must register in advance here.
