God-centered resources from the ministry of John Piper

This afternoon about 1,500 men will join us at the Minneapolis Convention Center for our pastors conference. The theme is "The Pastor as Father and Son," and the speakers are John Piper, D. A. Carson, Crawford Loritts, and Greg Livingstone.

We intend to post a summary and the audio from every session within an hour of it being finished. And we will try to add the video for each day by the following morning.

We also hope to post on other parts of the conference that you may find helpful or interesting.

In order to give you an organized place to find our conference blog posts over the next couple days, we will continue to update this entry with links to all the other entries we post. So if you want just one link with everything about the conference, this will be it.
