It’s not hard to see how a pastor giving an unexpected flat-Earth sermon could harm a congregation. He believes the leaders discovered his belief when they learned he’d attended the conference. He had planned to broach the topic delicately during an upcoming Church-leadership meeting, making a religious argument for the theory beginning with Genesis 1, but he never had a chance. ![]() Wolfe left the convention with a new group of friends and a new commitment to live publicly as a flat-Earther. By 2018 he’d decided to attend Take On the World, a Christian conference promoting flat-Earth theory, about an hour from his home. Wolfe had been full-on “flat,” as believers refer to themselves, for almost a year, ever since he stumbled across YouTube videos promoting a biblical flat-Earth model when researching a sermon on the Great Flood.
