The novelist Marilynne Robinson said, “Fear is not a Christian habit of mind.” It’s a convicting thought, especially as we try to navigate the aftermath of a global pandemic, deep-seated social unrest, warfare, and economic turmoil. What does steadfast faith look like in fearful times, and to whom might we look for realistic insight? C.S. Lewis Institute Atlanta invites you to join us for a day-long conference featuring: Bill Smith – Speaker, Author, C.S. Lewis Institute Atlanta City Director Stuart McAllister – International Speaker & Author, Reflections Ministries, Thinking Out Loud Director of Ministry Cameron McAllister – Author, Podcast Host, Thinking Out Loud Co-Founder As they discuss these questions, speakers will focus on the life of Abraham, taking into account his triumphs and his failings.
