Your occasional reminder that the Queen of England, Supreme Governor of the Church of England and America's favorite monarch, went to be with the Lord as a Presbyterian.
Look it up.
Don't @ me.
You're welcome.

People often assume that if God wanted to sort out the world, he would use raw power. But in my interview with N.T. Wright, he points out that God's agenda for the kingdom looks like the Sermon on the Mount—sending in the meek, the brokenhearted, and the peacemakers.

Looking forward to being at Cornerstone Gilmerton Sunday morning.
It's a Free Church of Scotland Presbyterian congregation and I can't wait to meet them, share the message, and give some @Logos swag.
Fun fact: they preach from the @CSBible.
It was predestined for me to preach here!
Let's go.

Hey, small church pastor in Edinburgh (or nearby),
If you're a pastor of a small church—under 100 in weekly attendance—and you'd like a Sunday morning off, I'm offering to preach this Sunday.
You can't pay me anything, but I come bearing gifts. I'll provide a full year of Logos Pro from Logos Bible Software, who are partnering with me to serve and encourage small churches. I'll also bring a swag bag with some books.
The median size of a Church of England congregation is 37 people, according to the 2022 Statistics for Mission report. (In the U.S., the median church is around 60–65 people.) I don't have separate numbers for Scotland, though I know it's a separate—and wonderful—country.
The point is this: a small church is actually a normal church.
It's important to remember that small churches are being used by God in big ways. That's exactly what we'd expect when Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to yeast working through the dough.
Small things often lead to big change.
I love opportunities like this because they remind me of that truth. And afterward, I enjoy telling the story of another faithful church making a kingdom impact in its community.
I'm in Edinburgh on holiday, and I don't have a car, so I'm hoping for something within a reasonable distance of the city center.
If you'd like a guest preacher this Sunday, send me a DM on X/Twitter. (Sorry—I need to keep this organized through one inbox, and my DMs are open.)
Grace and peace,
Ed Stetzer

It took Elon 54 years to become a trillionaire.
So, you have time.
Don't give up.

I mean, I guess Cambridge is perhaps slightly prettier than Oxford.
But...............
Oxford is still #1.
And, did you know that you can come train at @WycliffeHall on a one-year or multi-year plan? Check it out.
And, I'd love to teach you either as a Wycliffe or @TalbotTheology student, either in May or December.
But, OK, I have now see Cambridge-- or as they call it at Oxford, "that other place"-- and it's nice.

When a grieving person asks where their loved soul is right now, how do you answer?
In our most recent podcast, from the @WycliffeHall chapel, I asked N.T. Wright about the interim state between death and resurrection-- and what it means to be with Christ in a temporary home while we wait for the final day.
Watch the clip and listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.

Headed from London to Cambridge.
I now understand why so much British literature involves weather, tea, and mild disappointment.

Pastor Jocelyn from Georgia was a student of mine 25 years ago, and Pastor Crawford from South Carolina and they got the last of our free books by @TalbotTheology faculty at #SBC26. We love pastors at Talbot, where you can study with the authors who write the books!

Making the first delivery of free books from some of our @TalbotTheology faculty soon!
We have more books to give away at #SBC26, so find the van, take a selfie, post it, and tag @TalbotTheology.

The most effective pastors I know aren't chasing trends. They're consistently preaching Scripture, loving people, and pointing others to Jesus.

Excited to welcome Dr. Jennifer Lee Shin to @TalbotTheology / @BiolaU to teach in our undergraduate Old Testament department.
Dr. Shin grew up in Daejeon and Seoul, South Korea.
She earned bachelor’s degrees in English and French from Yonsei University. After moving to the United States for graduate studies, she completed an M.Div., an M.A. in Biblical Languages, and a Th.M. in Old Testament at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
She subsequently earned a Ph.D. in Old Testament from Wheaton College, where she also served as an adjunct professor.
Dr. Shin's research interests include wisdom in the Old Testament, biblical theology, and literary criticism, with interdisciplinary engagement in the themes of food and drink, vocation, and the good life.
Her current book project, Enjoying the Fruit of Your Labor: An Intertextual Reading of the Joy Texts in Ecclesiastes, explores what it means to live well amid human limitations in light of the Old Testament portrayals of work, joy, wisdom, and wealth.
Welcome, Dr. Shin, to Talbot!

Excited to welcome Dr. David Rathel to Talbot Seminary.
David Rathel received his PhD from the University of St Andrews in Scotland and his ThM and MDiv degrees from Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest, NC.
He is the author of a monograph with T&T Clark, several contributed chapters in volumes released by such publishers as Mercer University Press, and peer-reviewed journal articles that have appeared in such journals as Journal of Reformed Theology, American Baptist Quarterly, Baptist Quarterly, and Southeastern Theological Review.
For the past seven years, he has served at Gateway Seminary in Ontario, California, most recently as Professor of Christian Theology and Director of the PhD and ThM Program.
Dr. Rathel desires to connect the academic study of theology with the needs and concerns of local church life. This desire emerged from more than years of service as a minister for churches of various denominations in the US and Scotland.
Welcome to @TalbotTheology, David!
