A Fall Series in the South Bay
One night. One guest voice. One honest conversation about the Bible and a faith with room for everyone.
What is a pop-up service?
A pop-up service is exactly what it sounds like — one evening, one guest speaker, one message, and an honest conversation afterward. No membership, no pressure, no insider language. Just a warm room and a Bible-forward, inclusive faith worth talking about.
Each night gathers people around deeper questions of inclusivity and Scripture — and helps Dwell put down roots in the South Bay. Whether you're curious, de-churched, or somewhere in between, you're invited from night one.
The Lineup
Each speaker brings one message and stays for the conversation. All three nights are free — registering unlocks book giveaways and full event details.
Pastor, Restore Austin · author of Better Ways to Read the Bible
Zach planted Restore Austin in 2016 and grew it into a community of more than a thousand people built on radical inclusion. His book Better Ways to Read the Bible (Brazos Press) reframes Scripture from a weapon of harm into a tool for healing, and he writes the widely-read Public Theology Substack for people rethinking the faith they grew up with.
Author of Conversion Therapy Dropout · co-founder of Church Clarity
Tim spent years working behind the scenes at some of America's largest evangelical churches while quietly enduring conversion therapy. His memoir Conversion Therapy Dropout: A Queer Story of Faith and Belonging (Broadleaf Books) traces the road from religious harm to a faith that welcomes his whole self. His writing has appeared in TIME, The Advocate, and Religion News Service. Books will be available at the event.
Public theologian, speaker & writer
Brian went from Marine officer and evangelical pastor to one of the most-followed voices reimagining Christian faith around love instead of fear. He speaks and writes on a Bible-forward, wholehearted spirituality that leaves no one on the outside, publishes the Beloved Substack, and is the author of Hell Bent.
