About this event:
What does evangelism look like in a world where despair often feels more present than hope? Join us for a powerful day of learning and reflection with renowned theologian and author Andrew Root, as we explore Evangelism in an Age of Despair—a vision for outreach shaped not by strategies, but by authentic presence and consolation.

Root, the Carrie Olson Baalson Professor of Youth and Family Ministry at Luther Seminary, invites us to reimagine evangelism through a theological lens, one that speaks to our deep need for connection and meaning in today’s world. With over 25 books to his name and cohost of the When Church Stops Working podcast, Root brings both depth and practicality to this vital conversation.

Keynote Speaker:
Andrew Root, PhD (Princeton Theological Seminary)
