Last week, Darrin Patrick spoke three times at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and they have no posted the videos of his messages and Q&A. Darrin is a brother whom I have had the privilege of getting to know over the past couple of years, and I encourage those of you who are seeking to cultivate [...]

April 13, 2010Nuts and Bolts of Sojourn Community Church
April 12, 2010I have really enjoyed and been helped by these short videos by Sojourn Community Church wherein their lead pastor Daniel Montgomery shares some of the nuts and bolts of their ministry and community life. I don’t think the series is completed (yet), but do check them out. Also, if you are in Louisville for Together [...]
Mark Dever’s Reservations about Cultural Transformation
April 11, 2010I plan on blogging about this in the near future, but for now I wanted to post a video interview with Ed Stetzer and Mark Dever where they discuss Dever’s 2008 T4G talk about the “largeness” of the gospel. The differences on defining the gospel among conservative (even Reformed) evangelicals is pretty clear and certainly [...]
Fly to Jesus
April 10, 2010As I write this, Michael Spencer’s funeral is taking place in Oneida, KY. Thinking of him this morning, this song came to my mind. And with your final heartbeat Kiss the world goodbye Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory’s side, and Fly to Jesus Fly to Jesus Fly to Jesus and live

April 9, 2010View in Flickr (See it LARGE) View in Flickr (See it LARGE) Aiden had his first shot at the neighborhood swings, and needless to say, he loved it.

The GCM Collective • Gospel • Community • Mission
April 8, 2010Three BIG areas of my thinking, writing, and ministry exist on the axis of gospel, community, and mission. So when I discovered the GCM Collective, I was very eager to get on board and learn from others who, like myself, have given themselves to them. The GCM Collective exists to promote, create and equip Gospel [...]
Gospel Ecosystems and North American Cities by Tim Keller
April 5, 2010A couple of weeks ago, Redeemer City to City held a conference in Miami hosted by Renew South Florida where several speakers, including Tim Keller, addressed an audience of key leaders in strategic urban centers about the work of church planting in the cities. The audio from two of the sessions by Tim Keller have [...]
Resurrection
April 4, 2010O God of my Exodus, Great was the joy of Israel’s sons, when Egypt died upon the shore, Far greater the joy when the Redeemer’s foe lay crushed in the dust. Jesus strides forth as the victor, conqueror of death, hell, and all opposing might; He bursts the bands of death, tramples the powers of [...]
Two Ways to Hope
April 3, 2010The Apostle Paul makes a staggering conclusion about his life when he said, “If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied” (1 Cor. 15:19). I don’t think we can begin to discover all that means. At the very least, for Paul, the resurrection of [...]

A Tribute to Michael Spencer (iMonk) 1956-2010
April 6, 2010I was a first-year seminary student (2004) when I first encountered the Internet Monk (Michael Spencer). I was doing research on decisional regeneration, altar calls, and easy-believism. As I began reading his articles, I quickly realized that this dude was articulating things that resonated with my convictions and provoked me to go deeper into the [...]
