The brand-new CBMW men’s blog, Manual, is pumping out great content. I really appreciated this post by Kyle Worley on men and their hobbies. Here’s a swatch: When I graduated, the hobbies just got bigger and more expensive. With salaries and full time jobs, young men are given the resources to take their hobbies and obsessions to new levels. They often have a hard time being able to enjoy their hobbies in a restful way, without immersing themselves headfirst in a... Read more
I don’t know about you, but the groundswell of social media outrage at the lack of media attention to the trial of Kermit Gosnell is one of the most encouraging developments I’ve ever seen in the Internet 2.0 era. If you missed it, the story is basically this: after months of complete inattention to the barbaric narrative of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, pro-life folks–including journalist Mollie Ziegler Hemingway, Lifesite.com leaders, and Eric Metaxas–decided to do their part to raise a ruckus....

If you haven’t read up on the Kermit Gosnell infanticide trials, today is the day to do so. The Gospel Coalition has nine facts to know about Gosnell. World magazine has posted numerous stories on the abortionist, even as NBC, CBS, and ABC have essentially ignored the story. Here’s a documentary on Gosnell’s abominable work that I’ve posted before (graphic images). If you haven’t taken note of this before, let me encourage you to do so today. Folks from across the pro-life... Read more
The new CBMW website has just launched. We at CBMW are thrilled with this new resource. Over the next several days, I’ll be introducing you to the various features of the site. Today, though, I want to point your attention to the site itself and invite you to check out our new design. Here’s a bit from the official welcome I wrote for the new site: We are so glad you’ve stopped by. We think you’ll find here a rich... Read more
The Council on Biblical Manhood & Womanhood will be at the Gospel Coalition’s national conference this coming Monday-Wednesday, April 8-10, 2013. We’re very excited about this conference, because we love the gospel and count it as the core of all our work and ministry. It is a signal mark of health in evangelicalism that so many folks are eager to delve into a biblical theology of salvation. We at CBMW are grateful for the work of outfits like TGC, and... Read more
I understand something keenly about President Barack Obama: he loves basketball. He plays all over DC, apparently. This resonates with me. When I was in DC a while back, I too played wherever I could in the city. The energy of DC fits well with a passion for basketball, which is the most kinetic (and absorbing) of games. My favorite part of this humorous video: Obama walking off after he hits his final basket. Apparently, even being American President doesn’t... Read more
Over at the CBMW blog–the new site is jusssstttt about to debut–we just published a terrific piece from Candice Watters, cofounder of Boundless.org and one of the most gifted commentators around on issues related to womanhood and biblical maturity. Candice interacts with the recent best-seller by Hanna Rosin, The End of Men. Rosin suggests in the book that men and women are essentially interchangeable in terms of the roles they fill in the home. Candice suggests otherwise, as you can see in... Read more
This essay from Dissent, “Feminism’s Tipping Point: Who Wins from Leaning In?” by Kate Losse, is a must-read. Losse is a former speechwriter for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Her piece gives a fascinating look into Facebook corporate culture. Her piece engages the new book Leaning In by Sheryl Sandberg. Sandberg argues that women should work more and harder in order to advance themselves and the broader feminist cause. Losse makes a potentially salient point in this essay: that feminism according to Sandberg seems... Read more
Have you heard of the just-launched pro-marriage initiative called Marriage Generation? A group of friends just launched it: Chris Marlink , Eric Teetsel, Andrew Walker, and yours very truly. Just this past week we met in Washington, D. C. to strategize about its promotion. While in town, I also attended the Marriage March, which went off with a bang. The diversity and youthfulness of the crowd encouraged me. It was a joy to represent CBMW during this momentous week and... Read more
CBMW just featured a really helpful piece on ten ways for women to serve the church in weekly worship. It’s a joint post for CBMW by Boyce College professor Scott Connell and his wife, Mary. I encourage you to read it, chew on it, and think it over in your own church. Toward that end, here are three of the Connell’s points: Read: Any text can be read, but some texts of the Word of God have a unique weight when... Read more
