In 2021, Ardmore Baptist Church began hosting a series of conversations, led by Pastor Tyler Tankersley, with authors on important topics. This will be our opportunity to engage in dialogue about issues that might be difficult, controversial, or confusing. Rather than a traditional “book club” we want to focus on learning new things, hearing different perspectives, and ending each conversation with some tangible action steps for us all to challenge ourselves in new ways. These conversations will take place via Zoom Webinar, but will also be available to be streamed on our Facebook and YouTube pages.
