I am pleased to share the platform with a remarkable lineup of presenters at a free workshop at Kildonan Community Church this coming Saturday entitled, “Story, Sketch, Sermon, and Song.”
The workshop aims to encourage and equip preachers and attentive listeners in the use of story, song and art-making as integral aspects of proclaiming and engaging the Word. Presenters include award-winning storyteller Brad Woods, Winnipeg songwriter and musician Rachel Colman, and art-therapist Joye Platford. For more information and to register, visit:

Upcoming Public Lecture
My colleague Joshua Coutts will be sharing some of his recent work in the upcoming Fall Seminary Symposium at Providence. The title of his presentation is “The Absence of Jesus: John’s Gospel for a Secular Age.” The lecture is open to the public and includes a free lunch for those who attend in person. The event will also be live-streamed. You can register to attend in person or remotely here.
The Devil, the Spirit, and the In-Between
I came across a fascinating quote from Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI in an essay entitled, “Farewell to the Devil?” It also reminded me that I had intended to draw attention to Phil Ziegler’s recent Warfield Lectures at Princeton, entitled, “God’s Adversary and Ours: A Brief Theology of the Devil.” The whole series of lectures can be viewed here:

Video Lecture: “Imagining a Better Way”
The video recording of my recent BTS Symposium presentation, “Imagining a Better Way: Towards a Theology of Transformative Preaching,” is now available on the Providence YouTube channel. There was a great turnout for the event with a capacity crowd in the room and a good group joining online. There were some insightful questions from both the in-person and online attenders.
