At the inaugural Coram Deo Pastors Conference, held at Christ Covenant Church in Matthew, NC (March 12–14, 2024), I led a panel with Kevin DeYoung and Jonathan Leeman.
I thought it was a very fruitful conversation. One of the questions I asked them was something like this: “Is it a good idea for a pastor to teach a Sunday School class or to preach a sermon on Christianity and politics? If you were to do so, what are the two Bible texts you would expound (and one of them can’t be Romans 13)?”
I also ask them how they would respond to someone in their congregation who had more Anabaptist or more theonomic inclinations.
DeYoung (a Presbyterian) and Leeman (a Baptist) disagree to some degree on some issues, but also model how to listen with the aim of understanding and to talk through them constructively.
