    August 7, 2026

    I had a great conversation with Becket Cook about Mere Complementarianism on his podcast “The Becket Cook Show.” He was really interested in how egalitarian interpretation of the Bible relates to LGBTQ+ affirmation. You can watch the YouTube version or listen to the Spotify podcast linked below. You can buy the book at Amazon here. Thanks, Becket!

    August 1, 2026

    I really appreciate Fred Zaspel’s work at the website Books at a Glance, which publishes loads of reviews of important books on theology and Bible. Fred also sometimes interviews authors, and I recently sat with him for such an interview. It’s in two parts below. Part one is about complementarianism more generally, and part two is about my new book Mere Complementarianism specifically. I put part two first since it’s about the book. Thanks for the interviews, Fred! Part 2 Part 1

    TGC’s review of 𝑀𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑠𝑚

    July 30, 2026

    Nadya Williams has written a positive review of Mere Complementarianism for TGC. She writes: “This book is a helpful and readable resource for those who want to understand why complementarianism is important both theologically and practically—because… this matters for the body of Christ that is the church. Mere Complementarianism delivers as promised: an overview of God’s vision for men and women in the church and beyond that’s straightforward and helpful.” Read the rest of her review here. You can order the book from Amazon below:

    The Hour Has Come – John 12:1-26

    July 12, 2026

    Time and again, Jesus stirs things up and then withdraws from ultimate public confrontation that might lead to His arrest. Why? Over and over, the explanation is because “His hour had not yet come” (John 2:4; 7:30; 8:20). That is, until we get to John 12:23, where Jesus totally reverses course and says: “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified” (v. 23).

    Are We Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of a Sin? – Romans 13:1-7

    July 5, 2026

    Some of you may have heard that Mark Dever almost died about two months ago. Even after his life was spared, it wasn’t clear whether he would ever speak or preach again. I haven’t talked about it much and won’t even now because he and the church haven’t been talking about it much–at least not that I have seen publicly (it was mentioned here). Today, however, is his first Sunday back in the pulpit at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, and it was glorious. He launched right into the sermon without even acknowledging his absence. In other words, Mark preached like he wasn’t the point. Not until the last three minutes…
