Videos from the THINK Conference on the Future of Complementarity
A couple of months ago, I spoke at the THINK Conference on the Future of Complementarity, along with Andrew Wilson and Hannah Anderson. It was a wonderful few days of Christian fellowship, stimulating conversation, and shared worship. I thoroughly appreciated the change to meet both Andrew and Hannah for the second times; they have been such great friends and interlocutors (and in Andrew’s case a co-author!) for me online and it is always great to bring such friendships into the concreteness of the physical world. I also enjoyed the chance to make many new friends over the course of the conference.
All of the videos of the main sessions have been published now. We all prepared our talks independently and didn’t hear what each other had to say until the day itself. In my talks I am sharing my own judgment of matters, not necessarily viewpoints that are shared by the other participants. The same is true of Hannah and Andrew’s talks. Also, either Hannah’s or my talks can be taken by themselves, or alongside the other’s. The videos of the talks are posted in order below. I delivered the third, fifth, and seventh.
Enjoy!

How Should Christians Think About Social Media?
A few months ago, Brad Littlejohn and I recorded ourselves having a conversation on the subject of social media for the Davenant Institute. The recording was made available on Facebook, but has just been uploaded on Youtube. You can watch it below.
How Can Peter Describe False Teachers as Having Been ‘Bought’ By Christ?
Why does Peter say that the Lord “bought” false teachers in 2 Peter 2:1? How can Christ be said to have “purchased” or “bought” those who are unsaved?

What Does Jesus Mean When He Speaks About Being Born Again?
What’s your reading of the Nicodemus story in John 3? Why does Jesus tell him that he must be born again, and what does that mean?

Understanding the Sign Gifts
What is your view of the miraculous gifts (like prophecy and the gifts of tongues) in the New Testament period? Did these discontinue with the closing of the Scriptural Canon or, maybe, they took on a new form after this? And how did the Scriptures relate to the work of the prophets in the New Testament?
Priest, King, Prophet
While it is very far from the most articulate or well-ordered treatment of the subject (like the rest of my videos it is done without any notes or preparation, off the top of my head), the following is a brief introduction to the priest-king-prophet paradigm for understanding Scripture. Hopefully some of you will find it helpful.
