Hear John and Jefferson will engage in lively conversation about this grand experiment called the United States of America.

John will talk with Jefferson about who we are, what we’ve become and what Jefferson and his peers had in mind when they decided to revolt and declare independence from England. It is for the sake of goodness, for the hope of being free, fair and good that we ask our leaders to govern. But for goodness’ sake, you can’t be blamed if you were to slap your head and say, ‘What’s going on here?’

For goodness’ sake, it seems we’ve…strayed? Or maybe these tumultuous times are really the engine of democracy, wrapped in a republic – working. And for goodness’ sake, John and Jefferson will spend an hour or so attempting to make sense of it all.  

You won’t want to miss it. Get tickets today.
