A Night with Brian McLaren
2023-09-07 19:00 - 20:30 | Bethel Lutheran Church, 312 Wisconsin Avenue, Madison, WI, 53703, United States
Brian McLaren joins Bethel Lutheran Church on September 7 at 7:00 pm for an evening of straight talk about Christianity and genuine inspiration. McLaren is a Christian thinker, author, and activist. In 2015, he was recognized by Time magazine as one of the 25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America. Since that recognition, he has left the evangelical church and is no longer a pastor. His journey mirrors that of millions of Christians who have left the religion they were handed to become a different kind of Christian. He writes about this transformation in his more than dozen books. As a former pastor, Brian D. McLaren is a champion for a more loving, inclusive, and contemplative Christianity. His newest book Do I Stay Christian? (May 2022) shows how people of faith benefit from religious doubts and how by confronting the ugly realities of Christian history, people are shaped by the grace and life of Christ.

Pressing Issues for the Global Church
2023-06-14 17:00 - 18:30 | Upper|House, 365 East Campus Mall, Suite 200, Madison, 53715, United States
The Christian church is a multinational, multicultural, multilingual body that spans every society on the globe. In the twenty-first century, the vast majority of Christians live in the “Global South”—Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Yet in many conversations about “the Church,” Americans tend to focus on themselves.
In this summer series of conversations Upper House will host five talks to explore some of the dominant social issues in the global church—issues that affect all Christians, albeit in different ways depending on location. We’ll seek to learn from people in our community who have experience and expertise in other parts of the world, hopefully challenging and enriching our understanding of the church here in Madison, too.
There will be six sessions in all, meeting every other Wednesday evening.

This seminar will challenge Christians working in any business or social enterprise at any level of leadership. This seminar proposes an innovative framework to integrate today’s best business practices with Christian faith in all aspects of business operations.

§ How can biblical faith improve the performance of “best-inclass” sales and marketing, finance, organizational design, human resources, management, engineering, product design, manufacturing, legal, and
mergers and acquisitions?
§ How can employees and mid-level managers authentically live out their faith and create
life-changing impact amid prevailing currents that often push against it?
§ How can visionary leaders reflect God’s grace and love for stakeholders while achieving
industry-leading performance and operational excellence?
§ What does success look like for a Christian business leader? What are the key
performance and eternal ROI indicators?
§ How does a company align the expectations and values of its customers, vendors, and
employees with the values of God’s Kingdom?
The half-day seminar will take place on Saturday, February 11, 2023. Seminar resources,
coffee/bakery, and lunch will be included at a cost of $35.00. This seminar will take place from
8:30 AM to 2:30 PM at Dottie’s Ranch, located at 4136 Rutland Dunn Townline Road, Oregon,
Wisconsin.
The primary audiences for this event are Christian business leaders and mid-level managers of
corporations and non-profit social enterprises. The seminar will best serve people who have
vision, influence, and responsibility and earnestly want to know how to influence their
organization, and strategically and practically apply God’s word in daily operations. Regardless
of their current organizational culture, this seminar will best serve leaders who want to inspire
outstanding performance, make a difference in the world, and create eternal impact.

traditional institutions fail to grant security, where can we turn? David the Psalmist stated long ago: “He alone is our rock, our salvation and our fortress”. Jesus is the solid ground.

There will be group worship, compelling messages from leading pastors and teachers, testimonies of how other men have done it and seminars on the topics of most interest to you. Take advantage of this day to avoid the distractions of life and renew your dependence on Christ, the solid rock on which we stand.
