The Best Minds...
The Best Ideas.
Welcome to The Culture House Idea Kitchen!
​
Great ideas are at the very heart of The Culture House. In fact, The Culture House is really an experiment in how to apply the best ideas to the arts and culture world so we can benefit the artists and the community with beauty, truth and goodness.
​
The Idea Kitchen is our lecture series where we bring in people who have good things to share. The Culture House is a Christian organization, so we look for speakers who bring excellence of thought and help open up reality in its truest form. The events start with a lecture of some kind, a period of Q&A, followed by a nice dessert reception for all.
​
As far the best minds and the best ideas, you never know whether that comes from the speaker or the audience! So, let’s get cookin’ and find out!

Fall 2025 Event
Heading Home:
A 21st Century Pilgrimage
A documentary and discussion travelling over 4,000 miles and 2000 years to see how artists, architects and theologians worked in parallel for many centuries – from Saint Augustine’s vision of a New Jerusalem to Dante’s admonitions about the Last Judgment. Filmmaker Jody Hassett Sanchez and author/guide, Roberta Ahmanson present for community discussion with a special performance by Spoken Word artist, Street. The film invites viewers to join these pilgrims as they experience many of the world’s most magnificent churches and cathedrals, starting at the 4th century Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, then on to Rome, Pisa, Florence, Bologna, Ravenna, Venice, Torcello, and Aachen before winding up this incredible adventure at the 20th century Temple Church in London.
