AHUMC Welcomes Jonathan Foster on August 30

AHUMC is delighted to welcome Dr. Jonathan J. Foster as a guest speaker in all Sunday services on August 30, 2026!

Dr. Foster is a partner of one, a father of three, a former church planter, and someone who's spent years thinking deeply about faith and community. When he's not writing or podcasting, he's the chief advocate for lovehaiti.org, an organization doing healthcare and education in some of the most overlooked and underserved areas of the Western Hemisphere.
 

He holds a doctorate in theology from Northwind Seminary, where he studied under Thomas Jay Oord. His dissertation turned book, is titled Theology of Consent: Mimetic Theory in an Open and Relational Universe. His book indigo: the color of grief has been featured on dozens of podcasts and endorsed by a host of interesting thinkers and authors, including Peter Rollins, Jack Caputo, Rob Bell, Paul Young, Catherine Keller, and Brian McLaren.

Jonathan also helped to found and leads SacraSage Press—the publisher for our own Rev. Dr. Darrell Smith. In fact, Jonathan was the final editor for Spiritual But Not Anxious.

Dr. Foster will offer a message based on Psalm 139 entitled "Jesus is the Question" in the 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sanctuary services and the 9:30 a.m. Modern service. All are welcome!
