Fall Semester Study Groups
On the Road with St Augustine by James K.A. Smith
Join us for a journey this semester through James K. A. Smith’s On the Road with Saint Augustine. Smith introduces us to one of history’s greatest thinkers (Augustine) — a reliable guide for the questions that often shape college life: identity, ambition, friendship, love, and restlessness. Augustine’s story speaks directly to the search for meaning in a world full of pressure and distraction. We’ll explore how his wisdom can help us navigate our own desires and discover a deeper, more purposeful life. If you’ve ever wondered what truly leads to happiness, come journey with us.
Date & Time TBD, starting September 8
The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis
Ever feel like everyone's afraid to just say something is right or wrong anymore? C.S. Lewis saw that coming decades ago, and in The Abolition of Man — a short, punchy read — he explains why, and what we lose when we stop trusting our gut sense of good and evil. In under 100 pages, Lewis makes the case that modern thought has quietly severed us from any real basis for value judgments — and then shows exactly what's lost when reason has no heart left to guide it. Come for the sharp, prophetic argument; stay for how eerily it predicts the world you're living in now.
Date & Time TBD, starting September 30
