Doug Pagitt is not just on the electoral front-line, he’s defining the electoral front-line of faith voters. Perhaps no one is impacting elections like Vote Common Good under Doug’s leadership. As a long-time pastor, social activist, and author, Doug is putting his history and his hopes to work for us all.

Steven Harris brings his Capitol Hill experience building coalitions to the intersection of religion, justice, and human dignity as the Senior Director of Academic Programs at the Center on Faith and Justice at Georgetown University.

Emily Musolino is a shredder, and that has noting to do with cutting documents into tiny pieces. Emily is a guitar shredder – and a really good songwriter, and a really good singer, and a really good bandleader, and a really big Wild Goose favorite.

Matthew Paul Turner, best-selling author, reminds us (and OUR children), I’m strong and I’m brave; I’m a one-kid parade; I’m gonna be who I am ‘cause I’m wonderfully made. Get to know Matthew Paul Turner at Wild Goose – do yourself a favor, read his books to your children – and to yourself, also.

Randi Driscoll, as a singer/songwriter and actor, has shared the stage with a Who’s Who of artists and performers and her music is featured in film, television, and a commercial. She has performed around the world, including at the Lincoln Center and the Ford Theater, and “What Matters” was named one the top Pride Anthems by Advocate Magazine.

Liz Theoharis, Co-Chair (with Rev. Dr. William Barber) of the Poor People’s Campaign, Director of the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice is a Freedom Award recipient and has been named one of 11 Women Shaping the Church. Politico 50 lists her among “thinkers, doers, and visionaries whose ideas are driving politics.”

Josh Scott is a re-framer, a reclaimer, a re-imagining leader – an innovative, prophetic communicator from the progressive pioneering GracePointe Church.

Melva Sampson, rising from her work as curator of Pink Robe Chronicles and Raising Womanish Girls, this prolific Professor of Preaching and Practical Theology is certain to become an instant Wild Goose favorite.

Neal Stephens is a soul/RnB artist who likes to think of himself as a double soul singer – singing from “his soul to the soul.” Neal’s passionate rich baritone voice will reach out and touch his listeners at Wild Goose.

EleventySeven is high energy and with an insistently danceable vibe. From a rich history that includes multiple albums, EPs, and singles, including recording with Sony Japan, they will light up Wild Goose main stage.

Brian McLaren Wakes the Goose on Wild Goose Friday this year. Some say if the world has a pastor, it’s Brian McLaren; others say if the world has a first-thinker around faith and spirit, it’s Brian McLaren – it’s an incredible gift to think so far ahead, and yet stay so present.

The Heathens are bringing their deeply hopeful “break up” message to Wild Goose and it’s a life changer for thousands of people. Sorry, it sounds like a cliché’ – but don’t miss The Heathens at Wild Goose.

Adam Russell Taylor, president of Sojourners, sets the tone and the tempo for moving forward, together, in this crazy space called right now with his new book, A More Perfect Union: A New Vision for Building the Beloved Community.  

Ken Medema is without parallel, beyond comparison – even when you what he does, when you experience it, it’s hard to believe it just happened. Ken Medema will do Ken Medema and more at Wild Goose.

Paula Stone Williams – her work among an incredibly wide range of leaders from many frames of reference, amplifies her voice for justice like few others. Her vision intoxicates and her leadership engages. Being with Paula will help you hope.
