An update and an invitation!

This past Thursday, we hosted a free midday gathering for Chicago pastors and leaders on Christian nationalism with pastor and author Caleb Campbell. The conversation was timely and poignant, and we were grateful to welcome attendees from over 35 different churches and organizations. Caleb did a skillful job breaking down the nuances and helping us make sense of the current church and political landscape with kindness, humor, and a clear gospel hope. The table discussions that followed led to a rich Q&A, with people leaning into some really tough and important questions. Each attendee walked away with a copy of Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor, along with a few next steps for continuing to learn and lead in their ministries and communities. We’re grateful to New Life Covenant Church for their generous hospitality and for serving pastors and ministry leaders across Chicago so well! We’re looking forward to our final Lead the City Conversations event of the season on May 21 at 11am, "Are We Leading from Wholeness?", a conversation on emotionally healthy leadership with guest Drew Hyun. This final gathering is hosted by TCP and sponsored by Chicagoland Collective, Exponential, and Crossway and hosted at Chicago West Bible Church. You’ll want to save your seat soon! RSVP at join-tcp.org/events.

"At the height of Nazi power in his home country, when the church was being co-opted, when many Christian leaders were blessing the regime, when the future looked impossibly dark, Bonhoeffer was imagining what would come after." shorturl.at/5ISrM

"Though they live in the West, many are shaped less by guilt/innocence and more by fear/power. It’s subtle in some places and deafening in others. But listen closely: people are often less concerned with whether something is right or wrong—and more concerned with whether it gives their tribe more power." disarmingleviathan.substack.com/p/sharing-the-…
