Did you miss out on last week’s “Pursuit”? Don’t live near Milwaukee? Here’s the audio so you can listen in!
This presentation featured Mel Lawrenz speaking on “How Many Ways are There to God?” with special live video guest Mark Mittelberg, author of Becoming a Contagious Christian and The Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask.
This “Pursuit” was the first of two this spring, but we’re hoping to do more presentations in the future. Do you have a moment to tell us what topics and questions you’d like to see tackled in the future?
This was excellent. Thanks for offering the Pursuit sessions. I hope you have more of them.
