Guest Lecturer Chris Nye: Fools for Christ with the Mind of Christ: A Global + Historical Theology of Christian Political Life

Recorded live (with audience Q&R) on Sunday night, Jan 26, 2025. Author and pastor Chris Nye provides a solid vision of what it looks like for Christians to be a confounding presence. He paints the picture through an journey across time and space, bringing in examples from the global church and the historic church. In this lecture, Nye offers inspiration for the American church to live in a way that witnesses to the cross of Christ amidst political, cultural, and sociological challenges. Our current political moment may be new to the American church, but it’s a common experience for the people of God across time and space. Let's learn together towards this end.
