Bestselling author Goff speaks at Union Auxiliary event

Bob Goff, New York Times bestselling author of Love Does, kept a sold-out crowd of more than 400 people laughing April 17 in the Carl Grant Events Center as part of the Union University Auxiliary’s event, “An Evening with Bob Goff.”

With his witty jokes and engaging personal stories, Goff kept the night lighthearted and entertaining while teaching how to live a life that is defined by love, connection and purpose.

He challenged the crowd to strive for meaningful conversations every day to act as a connection with the “creepy people” in their lives. Through meaningful conversations with those who are hardest to talk to, Goff said, Jesus Christ will be seen.

“The most orthodox faith a person can have is to love everybody, always,” Goff said.

The event raised money for student scholarships. Susie Oliver, president of the Union Auxiliary, described the evening as “magical.”
