Point Loma Nazarene University's Writer’s Symposium by the Sea returns as an in-person festival starting Tuesday Feb. 22, featuring an interview with author and Lutheran minister Nadia Bolz-Weber.
Known for her bold take on religion and radical honesty, Bolz-Weber is the founder of the House for All Sinners and Saints congregation in Denver, Colorado. She's also a best selling author. Her books include, "Shameless: A Sexual Reformation," "Accidental Saints: Finding God in all the Wrong People," and "Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint."
Bolz-Weber joined Midday Edition on Tuesday to talk about how she thinks the COVID-19 pandemic has changed how Americans think about religion, as well as what she looks for in a sermon.
"I want a sermon that speaks to the truth of the human experience really deeply and then says something about the divine that allows us to live another day, to breathe more deeply," she said.
