Free Stuff Fridays (Coram Deo Pastors Conference)

This week, the blog and this giveaway are sponsored by Coram Deo Pastors Conference.

They are looking forward to once again filling the sanctuary with 1800 pastors and church leaders at Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, North Carolina, on March 17-19, 2026. The aim remains the same: they want to strengthen pastors and church leaders (and their wives, if that would benefit some couples). Their prayer—and they really have people praying—is that everyone who attends the conference will leave feeling encouraged, edified, inspired, equipped, and recharged for faithfulness in ministry.
They continue to believe there is much to be gained by hosting the conference at a local church (even if that means their space is limited). They still have a great bookstore, exhibitors, sponsors, and the “feel” of a conference. But they also hope for the “feel” of the church. The music will once again be led by Nathan Clark George, the pastor of worship at Christ Covenant, as he collaborates with other musicians from inside and outside our church.

Enter to win 2 registrations (FOR YOU AND/OR YOUR PASTOR) to join 1800 pastors and attendees from March 17-19, 2026, in Matthews, NC, for the Coram Deo Pastors Conference.

ENTER TO WIN

Hear from John Piper, H.B. Charles Jr., Kevin DeYoung and others.

Sing, fellowship and be encouraged in your ministry.

Winners will be announced on February 27.

They have been taught that they must choose between science and…

  • 12 General Market Books I Have Enjoyed Recently

    While I am committed to reading and reviewing Christian books, I also enjoy reading a steady diet of books published for the general market. I suppose my interests lean toward history, but I do read other books as well. Here are a few of the titles I’ve enjoyed over the past couple of months.

  • Performative Grief

    Performative Grief

    We all know what it is to perform grief—to ensure that others are aware of our sadness by forcing them to see our sorrow. We may do this to gain their attention or compel their sympathy. We may do this because we make grief an idol and are only validated when others feel sorry for…
