Come join us as Chad Bird comes to Illinois for two days of learning and faith development as we learn to see Christ in All the Old Testament as well as the New Testament.

Chad is a Scholar in Residence at 1517. He has served as a pastor, professor, and guest lecturer in Old Testament theology and Hebrew. He holds master’s degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary and Hebrew Union College.

Chad has contributed articles to Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, Modern Reformation, The Federalist, Lutheran Forum, and other journals and websites; as well as author of several books, including Night Driving: Notes from a Prodigal Soul, Your God Is Too Glorious: Finding God in the Most Unexpected Places, Upside-Down Spirituality: The 9 Essential Failures of a Faithful Life, Unveiling Mercy: 365 Daily Devotions Based on Insights from the Old Testament Hebrew, and most recently The Christ Key.

He also co-hosts the popular podcasts: “40 Minutes in the Old Testament”, “Hidden Streams” and “A Field Guide to the Bible.”

Registration is $30 to help cover cost of meals and breaks. There will be books available and plenty of time to meet and talk with Chad and his wife Stacy.
