Sacred Endurance Book Launch Event Highlights, Quotes, and more
Thank you to all who were able to come out to the Sacred Endurance book launch event. It was a night I’ll never forget. One surprising gift was the people who drove hours upon hours to attend from Minnesota to Birmingham to Chicago; we were blessed to visit with people from all over the country. I realize that most people would not be able to take the trek to good ole’ Tennessee, so I wanted to provide a few highlights including quotes from speakers and pictures.
An Evening Celebrating God’s Very Good Idea
Last Wednesday evening was a night I’ll never forget and I’m excited to share with you about it.
A Conversation about Fear and Faith
Over the past year, I’ve been anticipating the day when I could share more about a project I was working on called, Fear and Faith. This book is written from the perspective of one who struggles with fear and has consistently been comforted by the One who gives peace. In it, I seek to answer how God’s sovereignty, goodness, love, and wisdom affect the way we respond to our temptations to fear…
An Invitation to Join me at Focus on the Family
In a few weeks, I will be visiting the campuses of Focus on the Family to meet with staff and ministry partners. We’ll talk about the themes of United: about the benefits of diversity in the church and life, and how our adoption into a new family changes how we relate to one another.//
HomeLife Magazine Culture Column
You’ve probably heard the tune and if you’re like me, you only really know one line: “It’s the end of the world as we know it.” I am unaware of the message of the entire song, but I do know that when I look out at the landscape of our culture I can begin to think, it’s the end of the world as we know it. If we set our gaze on the world we will surely be discouraged. But when we look through the lens of the Bible we can begin to understand, if even slightly, why things are this way. We can begin to develop a biblical worldview regarding culture and society.
In 2014 Lifeway’s HomeLife Magazine will begin featuring a culture column written by me. The short column will focus on the issues and topics that face our culture today such as tragedies and our response, racial reconciliation, abortion, sex, marriage, friendship and more. I’m praying that the column would encourage the HomeLife readers and spark new conversations…

TGC and Future Grace
Last week I took a moment to watch Tim Keller explain what he thought would need to happen for The Gospel Coalition to be successful. As I watched I was struck by a few things.
R2K12 Conference: Unity for the Sake of the Gospel
Pastors and ministry leaders of the Presbyterian Church in America will gather in Baltimore this weekend for the Revival 2012 biennial conference. The conference brings together pastors from the Mid-Atlantic to proclaim the gospel and encourage unity and diversity in the Church. The 2012 theme is “The Race Set Before Us: Pursuing Unity for the Sake of the Gospel.”

If you are coming to The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference let me know; I’d love to meet you. If you aren’t sure what I am talking about here are the details for TGC website…
