Dinner Program
Erick Erickson

Erick Erickson, editor of The Resurgent and conservative commentator, will explore how people of faith navigate the waters of American politics that increasingly call on those of faith to make sacrifices and to compromise their beliefs to advance a political agenda.

Noted a one of the most influential conservatives in America, Erick Erickson is the editor of The Resurgent, a Fox News contributor, and host of his own radio program on the nation's most listened to news/talk station, WSB Radio out of Atlanta. Erickson is also working on his Master of Divinity Degree at Reformed Theology Seminary. He is frequently read and cited by leaders of both political parties.

In his latest book, “Before You Wake”, Erickson leaves politics behind and addresses his near-death experience during the height of the 2016 campaign season. Writing letters to his children, he focuses on what they and others should know about faith, family, and friendship, in addition to all his family's favorite recipes. Erickson regularly travels the world speaking on American politics, faith issues, and the intersection of faith and politics in America today. In addition to speaking, Erickson occasionally preaches drawing on his seminary education. Erickson is also the author of “You Will Be Made to Care,” a book about "rising Christian persecution" in America.

For six years, Erickson practiced law focused on corporate transactions and estates, with side focuses in both election law and indigent criminal defense. For three years Erickson was a political commentator for CNN and was editor of RedState.com for more than a decade prior to starting The Resurgent.
