This summer I will be touring with my book A Christianity Worth Believing.

I call these events Live Occurrences:

Live Occurrences: Doug Pagitt and Erik Johnson are spreading the Hope-filled, Open-armed, Alive and Well faith in churches, bars and public meeting spaces around the country.

Live Occurrences are part one-man show (but there are two of us), part revival, part book reading, part hootenanny, and part communal gathering.

The 2-hour Live Occurrences include readings from the book, music – original and covers, video, spoken-word poetry, impassioned invitations to be part of the common good.

Live Occurrences are specially formulated for the Left-out, Left-behind and Let-down, and will be suitable for one and all regardless of background.

Here is a set of clips from the show.
