The theme of this conference addresses issues that I believe are far more serious than most of us imagine. It is vital to our understanding as Christians to be aware of these cornerstone matters.

The topic is crucial, the speaker is excellent – consider attending this conference.

Randy Stinson understands the issues of gender from a deeply Biblical-theological perspective. He also has a profound understanding of culture. I commend the forthcoming Northbrook Conference to everyone who is interested in the health of the evangelical church.

R. Kent Hughes, author, Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church, Wheaton

The theme of manhood and womanhood is not an afterthought on God’s part; nor is it inconsequential. It is a crucial aspect of God’s plan in creation and redemption, woven into the warp and woof of ????ure. Within our lifetime, we have witnessed a massive sea change on this matter within the evangelical sub-culture. That shift has followed hard on the heels of a seismic shift in Western culture as a whole. What was once considered radical and fringe has become mainstream. It is in the air we breathe. Confusion is epidemic and the consequences are costly. This discussion is not just a theoretical exercise. We are talking about real-life implications in our homes and churches and for our witness in the world.

Knowing the enormous potential for blessing if we embrace God’s plan, the enemy has set out to steal the truth from the Church. God’s people need to be biblically informed and grounded, able to articulate and committed to live out God’s design for men and women. This year’s Northbrook Conference provides an important opportunity to do just that. Randy Stinson understands what is at stake and has a strong grasp of the ????ure on this issue.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Author, Revive Our Hearts host

Our views and practice of the Bible’s teaching on manhood and womanhood are a critical index Christian fidelity in this church today, as well as absolutely essential to our Gospel witness – since, according to ????ure, Christian marriage is to be a picture of the Gospel, union with Christ, and the relationship between Christ and the church. Professor Randy Stinson is the perfect pastor-theologian to open up the ????ure’s teaching in this crucial area.

Biblical Manhood/Womanhood is perhaps the most pressing issue of our day. This issue is the foundation upon which marriage, the family, and even the church rest. Our confusion over the issues surrounding manhood and womanhood has wreaked havoc in our homes and in our society at large. There are few pursuits that would be as fruitful as attending a conference that will foster a better understanding of these foundational issues.

In a day when gender confusion runs rampant in the church, the home and the culture, it is imperative for the Church of the Lord Jesus to carefully examine the Word Of God to clearly and correctly understand God's design for men and women. The ministry of CBMW helps men see and rejoice in the masculine creature God designed them to be, and it assist women in grasping and delighting in the feminine creature God created them to be. This is a conference that is vitally important for the time in which we live. I know you will be blessed as you sit under the instruction of Randy Stinson, a wonderful gift to the body of Christ

Danny Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

One of the most important questions facing the church in our day is whether we will allow the Bible to define the roles given to men and women, or whether the culture will lead us away from all distinctions in gender roles. At stake in this discussion is the very glory of God, who himself is Three persons, equal in One nature, yet different in their complementary roles. I can think of no better guide through this maze than Randy Stinson. Do not miss The Northbrook Conference on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood!
Jim Hamilton, Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Every generation faces the question of whether it will be faithful to Christ and His word, or whether it will ignore His word in favor of the prevailing winds of culture. Today, those winds are blowing against what the ????ures teach about God’s creating mankind as both male and female. The current debates over biblical manhood and womanhood, therefore, are not merely a discussions about biology and psychology. They are discussions about the authority of ????ure. I really do believe that the greatest threat to the authority of ????ure today is not coming mainly from those arguing about the nature of ????ure but from those who adopt an interpretive approach that domesticates the Bible’s message at precisely those points at which it should be confronting us and the culture. There’s hardly anyone better on this issue than Dr. Randy Stinson. You won’t want to miss this conference.”
Denny Burk, Assistant Professor of New Testament, Criswell College

In our times, we are witnessing the steady destruction of the most foundational truths concerning marriage and family. And the destruction is coming from inside the church. Randy Stinson is a man who understands the times and knows what the church should do. His solutions are not man-made. He will go to the Book. He will challenge you and disturb you. And the impact of such truth could very well save your family for generations to come."
