This generation needs courageous pastors. Every generation does. Shepherds are charged with guarding and protecting the flock of God from harm, and there’s plenty of that out there, whether in the form of wolves or thieves—predators within or bullies without. Faced with threats to the church and with an Enemy who always seeks to kill and destroy, pastors need to lead clearly and bravely. We need courageous shepherds. This generation has suffered under overbearing leaders.

When the restaurant staff saw the four young men walk in wearing masks, they knew it was a robbery. They took off running—all except the cook in the back. He was wearing earbuds and didn’t hear them come in. The cook—Tony Smith—wasn’t even supposed to be working that night. He was planning to watch the Giants play the Rangers in the 2010 World Series with his grandma. But someone asked him to cover the shift, and he said he would.

My bride-to-be daughter rushed past the white lace and sequins, the high necklines and capped sleeves, reaching for a sleeveless dress. Excited women crowded around us. We had only one hour to find the perfect dress at the 50-percent-off sellout sample sale. It was wedding season in Utah. This was war. “Do you have a modesty requirement?” our stylist asked.

I’ve never been a fan of big Christian conferences. I’d prefer just to watch the content afterward. For me, conferences mean crowds of people, frenzied activity, lots of strangers, and a flood of information I’ll never remember. When I lived in the United States, I never made it to The Gospel Coalition National Conference because, well, I’d rather read the website!So how does someone like me become the founder and a council member of TGC Norden? Because of our big God.

Do you think of biblical or Christian counseling mainly as something to pursue when you’re in a personal crisis? Do you think of it primarily as designed to help with emotional, mental health, or relational struggles? While those can all be benefits, counseling can also be an unexpected resource for discipleship and for strengthening your faith. Our faith can be tested by many everyday questions and challenges.

Imagine watching the final play of a football game from several different camera angles. Angle one from the pylon cam: a player scores a rushing touchdown. Advertise on TGCAngle two from behind the goalposts: he scores the touchdown and spikes the ball. Angle three from the blimp: he scores a touchdown, spikes the ball, and the crowd rushes the field and fills the stadium. Our understanding of this one event grows in intensity and meaning as it’s shown from multiple angles.
