2:00 PM – Presentation, “Dying Out Loud” by Dave Warnock
Dave Warnock is bringing his “Dying Out Loud” tour to the Twin Cities! Join us in person to hear him speak, and even get a signed copy of his memoir, “Childish Things.” We will provide a hybrid option to attend as well.
Dave Warnock was caught up in the Jesus movement of the 70s and lived the bulk of his life as a Charismatic Evangelical, serving as a pastor on three different church staffs. Following several years of internal struggle, Dave came to the conclusion in 2011 that he no longer believed in a personal God.
In 2019 he was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), a progressive neurodegenerative disease with an average 3-5 year life expectancy. Dave is spending the days he has left speaking out about the dangers and harm of fundamental religions, with a focus on Evangelical Christianity. He also seeks to provide a safe haven to those questioning their faith, recovering from religious trauma or navigating life’s tribulations as he shares his own perspective as a former ex-evangelical, but now an atheist, facing a terminal diagnosis.
