About this event

Arts • Other

Presented by The Local Church: A United Methodist Congregation and Holy Trinity Lutheran Church

Join Brian Recker—former evangelical pastor and author of Hell Bent: How the Fear of Hell Holds Christians Back from a Spirituality of Love—for a raw, unfiltered conversation about how the fear of hell has shaped us, hurt us, and maybe even kept us from the kind of faith that actually sets us free. With honesty, humor, and hope, Brian offers a fresh perspective on God, the church, and ourselves.

If you’ve ever been burned by religion, curious about what you still believe, or ready for something real, you’re in the right place.
