If you live anywhere near Seattle or can easily get here for whatever reason, you might want to grab a

ticket to the inaugural mini conference in person Saturday, March 25th here in Seattle.

There are only about 20 tickets left right now.

The theme of the day is what's next?

And I can now announce that we will have the entirety of the

sarcastically named Big Five group that is Tri, Sarah, and Myron here in attendance as well as

Tom Ord, Tony Jones, producer Josh, will be doing a live Generation Gap Culture Hour episode. We'll be doing a live

Big Five panel of some sort. And it's going to be a really, really great time. Lunch is provided,

as well as coffee and snacks. And we will all go out in some kind of maybe organized fashion into

the various breweries of the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle

after the event. There is a link to the event in the show notes. Grab a ticket now because it's

going to sell out and pretty quickly, but I'd love to see you there. My name is Dan Koch.

Like many of you, I've been on a complicated faith journey for a number of years now.

And while I tend to find myself on the progressive side of Christianity, my goal is not to make liberal converts.

I want this show to be a resource for Christians to my right and to my left, as well as

former Christians and non-religious folks, anyone who finds themselves asking difficult questions

about God, science, prayer, fate, suffering, evangelism, and more. So many of us have been given bad answers to those good questions,

often by people with pure intentions. I want to say that you have permission to take both Christianity

and the modern world very seriously. And I hope to facilitate that by introducing you to people seeking God across the

Christian spectrum, engaging hard questions in a multitude of ways. Thanks for listening.

Trip Fuller, Diana Butler Bass, thank you guys for joining me so much on You Have Permission.

Woo! I'm glad I finally get back on the real feed, Dan. Not just the patron feed. Yeah.
