Some events are sermons. Some are conversations. Some are lectures, panels, retreats, bookstore gatherings, podcasts, or mid-week church nights where people are trying to make sense of what is happening to faith, culture, and the church.

Rev. Dr. Rob Zahn is available for preaching, speaking, teaching, and public conversations at the intersection of faith, culture, and the future of the church.

His work asks where God may be showing up in places the church has often ignored, feared, or misunderstood — from the psychedelic counterculture and the Jesus Movement to music, media, doubt, decline, and renewal.

Event Possibilities

Events may include:

Sunday Preaching
Sermons and worship leadership for congregations, conferences, and special services.

Keynotes and Breakout Sessions
Conference presentations, retreats, leadership events, and gatherings focused on church, culture, and change.

Panel Discussions and Public Conversations

Bookstore, Podcast, and Media Events
Live interviews, author conversations, book events, and discussions connected to LSD to Galilee.

Common Topics

The Future of the Church
Church decline, renewal, imagination, and what the past can teach us about what may be coming next.

Psychedelics, Spirituality, and Faith
The surprising connections between the psychedelic counterculture, the Jesus Movement, Contemporary Christian Music, and questions of incarnation, grace, and transformation.

Theological Semiotics
How signs, symbols, stories, music, media, and cultural movements reveal what people are really longing for — and where God may be showing up in unexpected places.

American Church History and Pop Culture
Especially the 1960s and 1970s: hippies, Jesus People, Time magazine, rock and roll, counterculture, revival, decline, and the strange spiritual energy of an era still shaping us today.

Faith, Doubt, and Public Theology
Conversations for seekers, skeptics, church leaders, and communities wondering what it means to speak faithfully in a rapidly changing world.
