Tomorrow morning I will be flying out to Nashville for a couple of days to attend the Sapere Artist Retreat. This should be a pretty enjoyable few days and I will fill you in on all the stories as they happen. I have been told that the format will include panel discussion, Q&A, conversation about art and faith, and music. Here is an abbreviated list of speakers/panelists (and chef...sweet!)

Guest speakers include:

•  David Kinnaman, author of the best-selling book, unChristian: What
a New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity
•  Anna Broadway, popular blogger and author of Sexless In The City:
A Memoir of Reluctant Chastity
•  David Dark, author of Everyday Apocalypse: The Sacred Revealed in
Radiohead, the Simpsons, and Other Pop Culture Icons
•  Mark Scandrette, poet and author of Soul Graffiti: Making A Life
in the Way of Jesus
•  Charlie Peacock, author of New Way To Be Human

A Special Surprise Guest is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon!

Amazing food will be prepared by California guest chef Kathi Riley-
Smith, including a light breakfast at registration on Tuesday morning
at 9AM, so come hungry!  Kathi's food-cred is on stun (Chez Panisse,
Zuni Cafe).  She was nominated by “Food and Wine Magazine” as one of
the 25 Hot New American Chefs.
