Hesston College is excited to host Greg Boyd, senior pastor at Woodland Hills Church, for its annual Melva Kauffman Lecture Series where he will present a three part series on “What’s So Bad About Being a Christian Nation?” on January 26 and 27 at Hesston Mennonite Church. The community is invited to attend and explore critical questions about faith, politics and the role of Christianity in governance.

• Sunday, January 26, 7 to 8:30 p.m.
• Monday, January 27, 11 to 11:30 a.m.
• Monday, January 27, 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Boyd will challenge long-held assumptions, such as whether the United States should be considered a “Christian nation” and what happens when the church becomes entangled with political power. Drawing from the life and teachings of Jesus, Boyd’s thought-provoking insights offer a fresh perspective on how Christians can remain true to their faith while navigating societal structures.

This series is free and open to the public. Don’t miss this opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities of living out faith in today’s complex world.
