The Council on Biblical Manhood & Womanhood will be at the Gospel Coalition’s national conference this coming Monday-Wednesday, April 8-10, 2013.

Announcing a Week of Announcements for CBMW: First, the Website!
March 4, 2013 By
Some of you are aware that I’m the Executive Director of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. I’ve been loving my work since I started formally in January 2013, and we’ve been pulling together various threads since then.

Great News: Four Less Abortion Clinics in Wisconsin
February 18, 2013 By
Got two resources on the fight against abortion for you. First, a Huffington Post piece today noted the closure of four Planned Parenthood clinics in Wisconsin (HT: Sarah Pulliam Bailey).

What You Most Need Is God Himself
February 15, 2013 By
I just heard this song this week. I think I’d heard it before, but not as powerfully as in the chapel of Southern Seminary this past Thursday, February 14. John Piper was about to deliver his quiet and moving sermon, which meant that there was an electricity in the air. The chapel itself was full [...]

His co-speaker at the Resolute conference, John Piper, has done a great [...]
How Theology Drives Spirituality (Thinking and Doing Are Inextricable!)

Gender Roles and the Gospel
August 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Here’s a great video on complementarianism (or biblical gender roles) from The Gospel Coalition featuring John Piper, Tim Keller, and D. A. Carson (HT: JT). I found all three panelists’s remarks stimulating (and I enjoyed Carson’s anti-Zwinglian militarism at around the 9-minute mark!). Piper, as Piper does, got ramped up in the first part of [...]

May 2, 2012 By 8 Comments
Francis Chan offered some surprising thoughts at the Verge 2012 conference recently. Speaking on the church gathering, he said the following at the conference in Austin: If I just read the Scriptures, I wouldn’t even think so much of the gathering. You know–Like, my first thought wouldn’t be, “Let’s have a gathering.” Out of the [...]
