A Week in Chicago

I'm in Chicago this week for The Gospel Coalition 2011 National Conference. It has been amazing to watch The Gospel Coalition grow and develop in a short span of time. I attended the first TGC conference in 2007 when they first unveiled their vision. There were about 400 of us at that gathering four years ago. I don't know the actual numbers, but I've heard that there are more than 5,000 people in attendance for this week's conference.It's going to be a great week of learning and enjoying friendships old and new. I've never seen a more jam-packed conference schedule. If you couldn't make it to Chicago, you can watch the main sessions here. If you are here, I'll see you at Band of Bloggers and at the Christ + City church planting breakout.I love how God is using The Gospel Coalition. If you aren't familiar with TGC, go here to learn more. While there take time to read The Gospel Coalition Confessional Statement, a wonderfully crafted statement which we are using as our Statement of Faith at Garden City Church.
