Puritan Board Progression
Hey friends, I’ve been on PB for about a year now and I have been thankful for all of your thoughts, suggestions etc. One thing I noticed off the bat is that people have different titles I.e. Freshman, Doctor, Graduate. Maybe I just missed this but I’m trying to figure out how the system works. Is it based on how many posts and replies you have, how long you’ve been on here, or something else? Just curious thanks.
Tyndale’s Works - what to read?
Brothers, For Reformation Sunday (Oct 25), I am preaching on William Tyndale's life and how he gave his life for the Word of God, anchoring my sermon in Psalm 119:161-168. I've read most of Tyndale's biography by Daniel Dennett, but little of his actual works. Those here who are familiar with his writings, where should I begin if I want to better understand Tyndale the theologian? I have the Banner set of his works. Thanks & blessings, Adam
The Impact of Influencers on the Church
Church ministry has dramatically changed in the last 20 years with the rise of social media, YouTube, and podcasts. Christians might listen to their own pastor for 30 minutes a week but watch their favorite podcaster for 30 minutes or more each day. How should church leaders navigate this outside influence? And how can Christians engage with and deploy this media for discipleship and the spread of the gospel? In this panel discussion from TGC2025, Collin Hansen talks with Ruth Chou Simons, Kyle Worley, and Laura Wifler about how we should think about the relationship of influencers to our churches. 📝ON THIS VIDEO: 0:00 – The impact of social media 8:05 – Navigating digital influence and accountability 21:51 – Why podcasters gain rapid trust 22:20 – Principles for creating content 24:24 – Identifying unhealthy digital habits 32:33 – Advice for digital ministry leaders 🔗MENTIONED: _Alone Together_ by Sherry Turkle https://www.amazon.com/Alone-Together-Expect-Technology-Other/dp/0465010210/?tag=thegospcoal-20 ——— 🎁 Help The Gospel Coalition build up a renewed church for tomorrow.

Languages or dialects in Acts 2
This is an off-the-wall question, but I was reading Acts 2 tonight (this year’s Bible read-through is the NASB 95), I noticed a footnote that the word for “languages” in vv. 6 and 8 could also mean “dialects”. I’d be pressed to see any serious weight in this view, but I’m nonetheless curious

How do we help the next generation regain their footing on the timeless truths about reality? By reconnecting them to the One who created it. Join Dr. Frank Turek this fall for the ‘Jesus vs. The War on Reality’ college tour as he travels across America to examine the evidence behind Christianity and answer the biggest questions this generation is asking about truth, morality, politics, and reality itself.

Are Christians Supposed to Ignore Politics?
Is it biblical to just "preach the gospel" and ignore the political realm? Frank Turek explains that politics directly impacts our ability to preach the gospel and live freely. By ignoring politics, we fail in our command to love our neighbors and protect them from evil. We are not being Christlike when we cower in the corner just to appear "winsome". 👉 Share this reel to spread the word about this shift in thinking. #FrankTurek #ChristianWorldview #TheologyMatters #Apologetics #FaithInAction #WarOnReality
Atheists, Muslims, & Socialists Are Voting. Why Not YOU?
Politics directly impacts our freedom to preach and live out the Gospel, and it shapes the laws that protect our neighbors and communities. But half of Christians won’t vote in the midterms! Atheists, Muslims and socialists are voting. Why not you? Don't let your voice go unheard this election season.

How Can Erika Kirk Say "Count It All Joy?"
How do you "count it all joy" when the love of your life was brutally murdered in public for the whole world to see? Erika Kirk understands that God's mission for us is holiness, not happiness. Even in the face of terrible hardships, knowing that we're doing the Lord's work and looking forward to our eternal reward is what keeps us content, not temporary pleasure. If you haven't already, be sure to read Erika's thoughtful foreword in Frank's new book 'The War on Reality' co-authored with Phoenix Hayes.
