Equipping Conversation:
What is the Good Life?

Friday, 3.14 | 6:30 - 8:15 PM | Midtown
Saturday, 3.15 | 8:30 - 11:30 AM | Midtown

Nebraska’s Department of Economic Development wants you to know that the “Good Life” is found in Nebraska. Nebraska offers us good jobs, good friends, good food, good housing, good teachers, good churches, and (most of all) good people. As they say, “The Good Life is calling.”

But who gets to say what "The Good Life" is? If you've ever wondered how ordinary Christians should live in the world, this event is for you. Jonathan Pennington helps us rediscover wisdom from Jesus about what it is to flourish as a human being.
