March God Talk & Book Club
Paid Perk: Mere Christianity Book Club and God Talk zoom calls
Happy March!!!
This month’s two calls will be:
Monday March 11th, 8 pm EST - God Talk (general discussion)
Monday March 25th, 8 pm EST - Book Club discussion
If you haven’t been to a call, you are SO encouraged to join us! You can also watch the replay of the past or future calls (linked behind paywall.)
We are finishing our reading of Mere Christianity by CS Lewis this month!
I feel like Goldilocks and the 3 book reading plans. The Bible study in the fall was too fast paced, and this has felt too slow! So we are going to finish the rest of the book this month, starting with “Book 3” “Christian Behavior.”
Who is this for?
This is geared towards anyone who is God or Jesus ‘curious,’ or anyone who wants to connect with other people who are exploring or deepening their faith, and asking big questions. Mere Christianity in particular is very “introductory,” and does not assume you believe any of it at all, which is why I chose it!
You are allowed to ask big questions. You’re allowed to be confused. You’re allowed to not know what you believe!
(I know that not everyone has read everything I’ve been posting this past year, so if you’re new around here, start by reading New Age Demons.)
How to Join us
It’s all happening behind the $7/month paywall. The comments on the book club posts aren’t able to be seen by the general public or by free subscribers — only other paid subscribers can read and participate.
This gives us some privacy as we work through our big questions about God, and all that comes with it. And it’s also become one of the big perks and “thank yous” of being a paid subscriber here (besides the audios of posts and ability to comment.)
The Reading Assignment
We will be discussing the reading at our second call of the month, on March 25th. So, you have plenty of time to read it, or catch up.
Mere Christianity is broken up into 4 smaller “books.”
For, our second month of reading, we will be finishing the book, by reading the last two books, books 3 and 4. This is a longer reading assignment than the previous two months, but we can do it!
Call Schedule
We have 2 calls a month, Monday nights at 8 pm EST. The first of each month is focused on general God Talk, second will be more focused on the book reading. Replays will always available if you can’t attend live, and they will be uploaded back to this post, and to a replay playlist that I will also link.
I want to emphasize: this is all very casual. I want to set this up so that anyone, at any time, in any month, can join in on the God Talk zooms calls. And if you don’t do the readings at all, you can still join the God Talk zooms in particular, because the conversation will be more general.
There is an open door. I also want you to know that if you miss some, or the first many calls, you are still welcome to join. I’m setting this up monthly so that any new paid subscriber, can jump in and join us.
You also do not have to attend both calls each month, but you may enjoy both, as they will be focusing on slightly different things.
Our first call this month will be 8 pm EST on March 11th. No need to prepare anything! We will just be chatting, and meeting anyone new if they want to introduce themselves.
Second call will be on the 25th, where we will discuss the final reading from Mere Christianity, and we will go from there.
Please feel free to also connect, chat, and discuss in the comments of each monthly post below. Again, it’s all going to be happening behind the $7/month paywall. I really hope you’ll join!
