About the Speaker: Nadia Bolz-Weber
Nadia Bolz-Weber is a New York Times bestselling author and ordained Lutheran pastor. Bolz-Weber is the creator and host of The
Confessional podcast; author of The Corners on Substack; and has written three bestselling memoirs: Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith Of A Sinner & Saint (2013 and re-released in 2021), Accidental

Bolz-Weber’s visit is co-sponsored by the Compelling Preaching Initiative (CPI), which is funded by a grant from Lilly Endowment and administered by the Methodist Foundation for Arkansas. CPI seeks to build the capacity for bold, innovative preaching
within Arkansas United Methodist clergy to transform churches and communities. It is co-sponsored by the Hendrix College Office of Religious Life and its John and Marjem Gill Preaching Workshop, which since 1984 has aimed to strengthen the United
Methodist Church by enhancing clergy’s ability to proclaim the gospel in ways that are relevant to the needs of our time, and to enhance dialogue and fellowship among clergy colleagues.
