Join us in the chapel on Friday, April 11, for a special Resonate concert featuring singer-songwriter and recording artist Jon Guerra. The doors will open at 6 p.m., and the concert will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Jon’s debut album, Little Songs, was released in 2015. He also composed music for Terrence Malick’s 2019 film, A Hidden Life. His first album of devotional music is Keeper of Days, which was followed by Ordinary Ways in 2023.
One review concluded, “as timely as it is, Guerra’s Ordinary Ways is also absolutely timeless. It’s basic Christianity, basic trust, basic worship, humbly set to song. It’s a slice of one bard’s devotional life, yet it joins a chorus of awestruck praise that has been unceasing for centuries and will echo on in the heavenly throngs, world without end.” Jon Guerra’s new EP, American Gospel, is out now.
The Resonate banner flies over monthly seminars, ad hoc concerts, and biennial conferences organized by the George Fox Apologetics Initiative to showcase the goodness, truth, and beauty of Christianity. Join the Resonate mailing list here.
