Landed in Tirana, Albania. In 1976, the communists declared this the world’s first constitutionally "atheist state" in 1976. (Ironically, considering the enforced atheism, the most famous person from Tirana is probably Mother Teresa.) Now, we are gathering to talk about

Our latest U.S. growth numbers are in! Awana ministry U.S. will grow by 81,450 children & youth this year! We've not experienced this sort of U.S. growth in over a decade. In an age of biblical illiteracy, digital addiction & aggressive secularism, God sees American children.

So, meet Jakie. She works on our #LeadTheWayTour team, is a grad of @TalbotTheology, and has a cool YouTube channel that is worth following. Do me a favor and go subscribe here: buff.ly/6vgzd5T

Worship here in Albania. I love to be with pastors and churches focused on God's mission. However... ....those chords on the screen are distracting me... and making me want to get out my guitar! :-)

Grateful to join Enela Lamnica on Albania’s TV7 to talk about church planting and mission in Albania. TV7 is working on a documentary featuring our gathering and the growing ministry happening across the country.

What are we missing in Scripture? My friend and colleague Dr. Gary Manning Jr. joined Bill Arnold’s show to explore that question with wisdom and clarity. Gary, who directs the M.Div. program at Talbot and teaches New Testament, helps us reflect more deeply on how we read God’s

Charge: "Trinity of persons isn't in the Bible; they made that up at Nicaea." Reply: "The Nicene Creed never uses the words Trinity nor person." Charge: "Yeah, but without saying it, that's what they meant." Reply: "That is my view of the New Testament teaching on the Trinity."

“They’re trusting and following Christ—and that gives them a foundation unlike anything the world can offer.” I had the chance to join NewsNation to talk about the rise of faith among Gen Z, especially young men. A lot of it comes down to growing skepticism about where culture

In Albania, the pastors wanted me to talk about how a church that has RECEIVED missionaries and church planters for the last 30 years can becoming a SENDER and PLANTING movement from their own churches. I shared about three self missiology: self-governance, self-support, and

First day at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. Follow this week for updates. And come study at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University!

Today at Wycliffe Hall we looked at the mission of God in the Old Testament-- up TO Jerusalem. Then, the shift to centrifugal mission in the New Testament-- out FROM Jerusalem. Come study with us at Wycliffe or @TalbotTheology, every May (2 weeks) or December (one week).

Don’t under appreciate the English market sandwich. Egg and Watercress is the best, but note the boldness of the labeling. “Freshly prepared!” It says. And, “Pull here to release the freshness.” Yes, please, England. It’s good to be back.

Ed Stetzer Pastor stetzer, sir, we love you. But you have clearly fallen to false ideologies if you rank egg and watercress above our delicious coronation chicken

Love starting each morning in chapel worship at Wycliffe Hall around the Book of Common Prayer. Great rhythm before class.

Here’s the kind of unsolicited email I get about @TalbotTheology professors — this one about Rob Price, who I pulled out of line for this pic. Come study with us — in SoCal, online, and soon in modular locations from Seattle to Houston.

Here is a fun story about my father. When we did his funeral, serveral of his friends mentioned my role at Oxford, obviously because my father told them about it. More than once. :-) My father loved to tell people that my brother is a judge, and that I was a professor-- two
