Art House Dallas is honored to welcome James K.A. Smith for a conversation around his new book: How to Inhabit Time: Understanding the Past, Facing the Future, Living Faithfully Now as part of our 2022 ORIGIN series, On Patience.
Many Christians are disconnected from the past or imagine they are “above” history, immune to it, as if self-starters from clean slates in every generation. They suffer from a lack of awareness of time and the effects of history.
Popular speaker and award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that awakening to the spiritual significance of time is crucial for orienting faith in the 21st century. He encourages us to “cultivate the spiritual discipline of memento tempori, a temporal awareness of the Spirit’s presence—indebted to a past, oriented toward the future, and faithful in the present. To gain spiritual appreciation for our mortality. To synchronize our heart-clocks with the tempo of the Spirit, which changes in the different seasons of life.”
Join us for this inspiring evening. Beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
Facilitated Q&A to follow the presentation.
