Lipscomb University

We invite you to join us for the annual 2019 Preaching Workshop at Lipscomb University, February 11th and 12th. The Preaching Workshop is an interactive event focused on the craft of homiletics, bringing together students, guests, and recognized experts in the field for mentored experience and rich dialogue. Traditionally, this has been an invite-only event designed specifically for vocational preachers. This year, however the evening sessions with Dr. Miroslav Volf and the Tokens show are open to any and all who would like to come.

We are proud to feature Dr. Miroslav Volf and Mason Lee as our featured presenters, who will guide our conversation around this year's theme: "Preaching at the Crossroads: Rediscovering Gospel in the New World" We will name why preaching matters, explore what it looks like to live and speak prophetically and pastorally in our given sociopolitical context, and share powerful examples of the gospel at work in our community and beyond. Also presenting at this year's workshop are Dr. Kate Watkins, Dr. Richard Goode, Rabbis Flip and Laurie Rice, Darren Hagood, and Josh Jackson.

This year's workshop will also feature The Tokens Show, hosted by Lee Camp.

The workshop runs from 2:00 pm on Monday, February 11 until after the tokens show on Tuesday, February 12. The cost is $125, which includes four meals (dinner on Monday, and all meals Tuesday, plus admission to the Tokens show). If financial assistance is needed, please contact Mallory Wyckoff at mallory.wyckoff [at] gmail.com (mallory[dot]wyckoff[at]gmail[dot]com).

We hope you will make plans to join us for this timely and important two-day event, where together we explore our call to preach and live prophetically in an age of social turmoil.
