Casey Gerald traces the drama of his life back to an East Texas church on the night of December 31, 1999, the night he believed the world was to end. When the rapture didn’t come, he searched for something new to believe in — at Yale, Lehman Brothers, Harvard Business School and his own nonprofit — but found only false saviors. In this moving talk, Gerald urges us all to question our beliefs, to embrace doubt and to find the courage to believe in something new.
