Driscoll, Chan, and Harris “Chop It Up”; or, Why I Participate in The Gospel Coalition
I’ve been surprised at the number of times I’ve been asked “Why do you participate in The Gospel Coalition?” Honestly, I thought it would be self-evident. But for some folks it’s not. Sometimes the question has to do with a more fundamental question: “What is The Gospel Coalition?” That’s a fair question. Sometimes the concern is “Is this a good use of a pastor’s time? Why this rather than something else?” Also a fair question.
Maybe the best way to illustrate why I think The Gospel Coalition is both good and effective use of time is to point you to this conversation between Francis Chan, Mark Driscoll, and Joshua Harris. The iron-sharpening in this conversation is, for me at least, representative of what happens in so much of our time together and our discussions. This is a fabulous example of brothers and fellow laborers in the harvest pressing in on each other in love, accountability, and joy.
