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 March 6th.

    I Regret to Inform You That Heaven Tourism Is Back

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.

  • A Daring Suggestion for Netflix

    A Daring Suggestion for Netflix

    Netflix appears to have fallen on hard times and I have some suggestions that I’d like to think would help it: cut the sex, nudity, and profanity, and gain back the viewers it’s long been alienating.
