I am planning a speaking trip in the UK and will be giving talks in churches in several places, from the Midlands to the West coast, to the South coast and then on to Scotland in the north. Friends in the UK, I hope that one of these venues is close and that you can join me!
Here is where I’ll be:
Friday – Sun, July 3-5 – CMJ UK Conference at Yarnfield Park Center, Stone, Staffordshire, ST15 0NL.
I’ll be giving three talks in a series on my newest writing, called, “Reading the Bible as an Insider.” See this post for details and to watch my latest video about my upcoming talks. Make sure to register soon!
Monday July 6, 7:30 PM – Sedley Community Church, Bilston Street, Dudley. DY3 1JB.
Wednesday July 8, 7-9PM – St Nicholas with St Barnabas Old Church Road. Uphill. Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, BS23 4XH.

I’ll be giving three of my favorite talks in a day seminar called “Astonished by the Words of Jesus.” Here is the flyer. Register via CMJ-UK at this link. Cost is £20 to pay for the venue.
Monday, July 13, 1-5 PM South Beach Hotel, Troon, Scotland KA10 6EG.
Once again I’ll be sharing three of my favorite talks in a day seminar called “Astonished by the Words of Jesus.” Here is the flyer. Register via CMJ-UK at this link. Cost is £20 to pay for venue.
Here is the description of the day seminars in Bournemouth and Troon, Scotland:
Astonished by the Words of Jesus
The Gospels say that Jesus’ first listeners were “astonished” and “amazed” at his teaching. They never left the same. As first-century Jews they lived within the same cultural context, and the things that puzzle us made complete sense to them. What can we learn about Rabbi Jesus that will newly empower his words to transform our lives?
1. Jesus, Rabbi and Lord
How Understanding Jesus’ Jewishness Saved My Faith
2: Unlocking Jesus’ Puzzling Teachings
How his Jewish Context Sheds Light on his Words
3: A Look at the Bible’s Wise Hebrew Words
Hebraic Tools for Better Bible Study

Of course you’ll want to come to the CMJ-UK Conference, where there will be others speaking and lots of interesting activities. Make sure to register soon!
But maybe you’ll also want to take a bit of a holiday, either in Bournemouth on England’s south coast, or in Troon-Ayrshire, on Scotland’s southwest coast?? I can’t wait to see these places myself, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all there!
