Off to Chicago

April 20, 2009

I’m off to Chicago for a few days for The Gospel Coalition Conference. I’m excited for a few reasons:

I’m going to get to hang out with our Executive Staff which is always meaningful since these men are my pastoral band of brothers.
There will be some talks given by guys I really admire (Tim Keller, John Piper, Mark Driscoll, C.J. Mahaney, Don Carson, etc.).
Reconnect with some friends I haven’t seen in awhile.
Hitting Wrigley Field to catch a Cubs game.
Spend some concentrated time with other pastors and leaders focusing on the Gospel and ministry

Did I say I was excited? I pray for God’s grace in such a sweet time.
