I would be thrilled to come and be with your church, college/university, or conference. Preaching, teaching, workshop facilitation – whatever you need. If you would like to invite me to be with you, use the contact form on this website.

Sample Presentations:

What is the Open Source Church?: In this 1-3 hour keynote series or interactive workshop, I would lead your group through the themes of my book, Open Source Church: Making Room for the Wisdom of All, and help you uncover what steps you would need to take to create an open atmosphere in your church setting.

Theology is Art: In this 1-2 hour keynote series or interactive workshop, I would draw on the themes of my monograph, Theology Is Art, and lead your group in exploring a new way to think about theology and it’s impact on the life of the church.

Don’t Let Them Look Down on You Because You are Young: This 1-5 hour keynote series or interactive workshop explores the biblical texts of 1 & 2 Timothy, and helps youth and young adults realize that God has made them for a special, unique, and powerful purpose.

Remix Reformation: In the current world of digital culture, this 1-4 hour keynote series or interactive workshop explores how the artistic practice of “remixing” can help guide the church to a fresh expression of theology, spirituality, and church life for the 21st century.

In addition to these, I would be more than happy to work with you on addressing whatever topic you have established for your gathering.
