Beignets, Po-Boys, & a Youth Gathering

Join Ken in NOLA for the LCMS NYG!

Too many acronyms? Let's break it down. Ken will be speaking in New Orleans (NOLA) for the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod's (LCMS) National Youth Gathering (NYG) from July 17-19, 2016. 

Having been a part of the last few NYGs as a participant, volunteer, and speaker Ken is excited to return for the 2016 edition to speak on two topics close to his heart: faith and popular culture and Islam! 

Here are the sessions Ken will be leading. Both will be interactive sessions that will invite participants to engage with questions, comments, and reactions to the topic. If you're in town for the gathering, be sure to come and check them out:

Stripper Spirituality

Ever wondered what spirituality is like for a stripper? Maybe, maybe not. But I am still willing to bet you'd be interested in the ins and outs of "stripper theology." 

In my newest post at #FaithGoesPop, I explore what theology and lived religion looks like for strippers. Drawing from both public comments, and an interview, with three strippers, past and present, who reflected on their work in New Orleans and Orange County, CA I relate stripper theology, as such, to a wider trend in American religion.
