LoveWell 2024 Resources


Go Deeper after LoveWell!

Join the Four Loves Book Discussion Group.

Young people (roughly 16 to 30 years old) attending LoveWell are invited to a weekly (for 4 weeks in March) book discussion group on C.S. Lewis’s The Four Loves, led by Luke Forister. Lewis’s book is one of the best and most classic Christian works on the topic of love. Luke will guide our discussion, and members of the ThinkWell leadership team will serve as moderators to encourage the group to stay focused on the Lewis material.

The group will meet in person at CrossLife on the following Sundays at 7 p.m.:

  • March 3 - Intro to the study

  • March 10 - Discuss chapters 1 and 2 (introductory material)

  • March 17 - Discuss chapters 3 and 4 (storge and philia)

  • March 24 - Discuss chapters 5 and 6 (eros and agape)

If you’re interested in this group, email us at info@thinkwellconference.org.
