Our Next Online Young Adult Event
November 15th - 6:30PM CDT - ZOOM ONLINE
Author and Campus Pastor Luke Thompson is our featured speaker for our November online gathering. Here is the big idea we'll be exploring that night!
If you were to read just one chapter from the middle of a book, would you be able to tell the main character what to do next? Could you even tell who the main character is? Could you even tell the good from bad characters, or if that distinction even exists in the story?
Our life can feel a lot like that. Do we know what our goals in life should be? Can we tell all the good forces from the bad? Are there even good and bad forces? What we need to know is the larger story we find ourselves in. Join us as we recover that story, find out what kind of a story it is (Mystery? Tragedy? Epic?), and the heroism we’ve been called to.
About the presenter: Luke Thompson (M.A. Philosophy, M.Div) has taught courses in philosophy and Christian apologetics at Bethany Lutheran College and Wisconsin Lutheran College. He is now a pastor at St. Paul in Ottawa and lectures internationally on pop culture, philosophy, and Christianity, showing university students how to make Walter White, Dexter Morgan, Rick Grimes, and Tyrion Lannister talk philosophy and theology. He has written the recently published Your Life Has Meaning: Discovering your Role in an Epic Story.

SAVE THE DATE: January 10th 2021 with Awake and Alive keynote favorite Pastor Jon Enter joining us once again!
This past January, we gathered with 70 people in our third annual Awake and Alive conference. What happened was everything that we prayed might happen. That young adults could find a safe place to share some of their story. That older adults could be humble enough to share the deeper realities of theirs. What transpired was life giving in so many ways. God was honored, Jesus was shared, hurt hearts breathed again and the joy of the Lord truly was our strength. We are grateful for the time, talents and ministries of so many people and to see younger and older generations come together and find a common ground and hope in Christ!
