Speaking Engagements
I am happy to create either an in-person or online Zoom class or conversation for your church group, your book club, or for any group of friends who want something different to discuss over a beer/glass of wine. My interests include but are not limited to:
- My book, “True Awakening: The Highs, the Lows, and the Mess of Spiritual Transformation”
- Themes include curiosity, spiritual journey, being religious and deconstructing religion, letting go, following a calling, meeting Mystery (See me talk with Robert Ellsberg about my book Kerra Becker English, One On One Interview | Orbis Books)
- Practical Ministry
- Enthusiastic Support of Small Churches – I can be your small church cheerleader!
- Vibrant Worship – When entertainment isn’t the goal, what happens in worship?
- Mentoring Spiritual Leaders – Supervising seminarians, nurturing colleague groups
- Spiritual Interests
- Mysticism – Knowledge of God that can be experienced, but not necessarily proven
- Theodicy – Seeking to comprehend suffering in the world through the eyes of faith
- Creating Community – Developing intentional interpersonal relationships in an age of disconnect, distrust, and disillusionment
- Interfaith Dialogue – Deepening my faith by listening for common truths about God in other traditions
