Any fellow bloggers attending the Gospel Coalition NatCon?

If so, I invite you to the 2009 Band of Bloggers gathering (April 22 in Chicago). Seven of the most influential reformed bloggers will be in the house—tbrister, jtaylor, manderson, tchallies, ejohnson, ttchividjian, smccoy—addressing how we can better serve the church through our blogging efforts.

And there will be free books.

I will have the honor of addressing the topic: How can bloggers steward the teaching of the young, old, and the dead? I hope to encourage other average bloggers (like myself) to consider using their blogging skills to steward the wisdom of others, working alongside their pastors and church to blog locally, how to identify men who should have broader influence within the Church and how serve alongside them (C.J. Mahaney), and how to use blogs to spread the influence of the timeless men who are no longer with us (Herman Bavinck). These are topics near my heart, but thoughts I have never developed and articulated for presentation. So please pray for me.

Registration opens soon. More BoB’09 conference details here.

See you there.
