SUMMARY:Communism to Catholicism
DESCRIPTION:Price: $20 \nDescription: Join us for an evening with Sohrab Ahmari as he shares the remarkable story of his intellectual and spiritual journey in a talk titled From Marxism to Catholicism. Raised in a secular home in Tehran\, Ahmari came of age amid political upheaval before embracing atheism and later becoming a Marxist journalist in the West. In this candid and compelling lecture\, he traces the philosophical cracks he discovered within Marxism and Communism—systems that promise liberation but often deliver spiritual and political bondage. With clarity and conviction\, Ahmari recounts how his search for truth ultimately led him to the Catholic faith. This is a powerful exploration of ideology\, disillusionment\, and the surprising path to belief. Speaker: Sohrab Ahmari is the US editor of UnHerd. Before that\, he co-founded Compact magazine\, and spent nearly a decade at News Corp.\, as the op-ed editor of the New York Post and a columnist and editor with The Wall Street Journal opinion pages in New York and London. In addition to those publications\, his writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, The New Statesman\, The Spectator\, The New Republic\, First things\, Commonweal\, and Dissent\, among many others. His books include Tyranny\, Inc.: How Private Power Crushed American Liberty—and What To Do About It and The Unbroken Thread: Discovering the Wisdom of Tradition in an Age of Chaos\, both published by Penguin Random House. His next book\, on The Triumph of Normal\, is forthcoming from HarperCollins. \nRegistration: Registration not required at this time.

SUMMARY:Men and Fatherhood
DESCRIPTION:Price: $15 \nDescription: Come to this talk if your family has any problems! There is no such thing as a “perfect family”\, or a perfect upbringing.

Come to Exile Brewing Company to beer\, fellowship\, and instruction on how to stop letting your past hold you back! \nSpeaker: Men’s speaker\, comedian\, and therapist Paul Kim talk about changing your family tree. Paul has spoken in 48 states and 16 countries. His presentations are insightful\, practical\, and hilarious. Utilizing examples and stories from Scripture\, world-class authors and relationship experts\, and his own counseling experience with families and couples in real-life situations\, Paul offers a perspective that has left countless people inspired and one that you won’t want to miss. \nRegistration: Registration not required. To offset speaker and travel costs\, this event is $15/person at the door. \nDate: Wednesday\, December 10th. Doors open and Drinks served: 7PM.
