SUMMARY:Lakelight Talk: Jesus In the Public Square
DESCRIPTION:In a time when public life often feels captive to partisan loyalties\, Dr. Rusty Reno\, editor of First Things magazine\, invites us to consider a deeper vision of Christian engagement in the public square. \n‍Drawing from the life and teaching of Jesus\, Dr. Reno will explore how faith offers wisdom for navigating today’s political and cultural challenges without being defined by party lines. \nThis gathering is designed especially for lay Christian leaders who long to think biblically about current events and the common good. Together\, we will reflect on how the church can speak with clarity\, conviction\, and hope in a fractured age. \n‍Join us for an evening of thoughtful teaching and conversation that points to a distinctly Christian way of engaging the world. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Lakelight Talk: Crawford Loritts
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 15th from 7:00–8:30 p.m. for an evening with renowned author and speaker Crawford Loritts as he explores Leadership: What It Takes To Wield Lasting Influence.\n‍\nIn a world that often equates leadership with charisma\, credentials\, and communication skills\, Dr. Loritts invites us to consider a deeper foundation. Drawing from decades of ministry and leadership experience\, he will present a compelling vision rooted in four essential qualities: brokenness\, communion\, servanthood\, and obedience. These aren’t quick leadership hacks. They’re the marks of a life formed by God.\n‍\nWhether you’re leading in the church\, the marketplace\, or your own home\, this talk will challenge and encourage you to lead from a place of spiritual depth. \nREGISTER HERE
