Rob Bell in Conversation with the band Joseph
September 17, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
FreeIn his profound and deeply personal new book, New York Times bestselling author Rob Bell explores the endless dynamic questions and connections that have shaped his life to provide powerful insight into understanding your purpose and place in the world. Our home is a universe of endless dynamic connections that never stop inviting us to participate in the great mysterious love at the heart of it all. Everything Is Spiritual (St. Martin’s Essentials) is a brief history of how these ideas about creation, love, and connection shaped the author — and can shape every one of us. In his new book, Bell explores the concept that what people really want, more than anything, is to understand their purpose here — so much so that it gives them an abiding sense of awe and wonder. And when you embrace where and who you come from and your wounds and pains and regrets, you will discover that there’s an invitation lurking there in the mess of life: an invitation to expand just like the universe has been doing for 13 billion years. Bell will be joined in conversation by Meegan Closner, Allison Closner, and Natalie Schepman of the band Joseph.
