I spent the first 25 yrs of my ministry w/ a zealous, coarse disposition similar to a Luther or Zwingli. I pray my last 25 yrs will be characterized by an irenic, gentle spirit, more akin to Bucer, Bullinger, & Melanchthon. #ILoveTheReformation

Kicking it w/ some intergalactic friends at the Durham Bulls Star Wars night this past weekend.

A full day for #MayTheFourthBeWithYou. Made a quick stop at the RDU Airport to welcome many (very surprised) folks to Mos Raleigh, & then had an amazing party w/ some new friends at the Duke Children’s Hospital. #HistorianFett #BadGuysDoingGood

May the 4th be with you...

He is RISEN!!! 🙌🏽

@Erik__Lundeen I’m in. #ILoveTheReformation

Now let’s do the same thing for the Reformation. If any presses or Reformation scholars are interested in a series like that, let me know!

@SBCUnderground I went to school w/Daniel (on the left). He overcame so many challenges in life & has now been faithfully heralding the gospel for yrs. I also teach church history and regularly address the exodus to other traditions outlined in this post, which has nothing to do w/ these pics.

What better way to celebrate Reformation Day than to sign up for the 2026 United Kingdom Study Tour where we’ll visit key sites and hear the powerful stories related to the Reformation in England and Scotland. Enrollment is live and open! sebts.edu/ukstudytour

Join me this summer for an unforgettable excursion to the UK where we’ll step back in time to explore the worlds of CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, John Newton, CH Spurgeon, William Carey, John Knox, & many others. Enrollment starts on Oct 31, 2025. sebts.edu/ukstudytour

@bartbarber @DannyAkin @SEBTS How do Air Jordan kicks situate under your new dress code policy? Asking for a friend.

Congratulations to Dr. @DannyAkin on his faithful service for so long. I have enjoyed interacting with him on every occasion when I have done so. If elected to succeed him, I will institute a suit-and-tie dress code at @SEBTS and thereby bring peace to the SBC.

Explore the worlds of CS Lewis, Charles Spurgeon, John Newton, William Carey, John Knox, Thomas Cranmer & many more on the 2026 UK Study Tour. See the past come alive in a powerful and unforgettable way. Spots are limited. So consider making your plans now!

So much brokenness, sorrow, evil, and death in our world. It’s seemingly everywhere. But there remains a hope… His name is Jesus.

@vikingzfanpage I was at that game too. Remember it well. And prime AD was incredible.

Crazy to think that this was JJ McCarthy’s first NFL game he ever attended in person:

@DrMigEchevarria I beg to differ (posted while sitting on a bench in between sets) 😜

Dear gym goers, you don’t need to check your social media or watch videos in between sets. You will get a better work out and the rest of us will not have to wait for the rack/bench/machine for 10-15 minutes. Thanks for your attention to this important matter. ☠️😎

Honored to provide an endorsement for Michael Haykin’s new book, “Light from the Word,” a brief sketch of four important figures from Reformation England. Grateful for my friend’s many years of wonderful historical work.

Kicked it with an old friend this weekend. He was a bit demanding, as per usual. But always nice to reconnect.

Hope u enjoy the wild ride that was Zwingli’s life and the Swiss Reformation …

For years I dreamed of taking students on a Reformation Study Tour. I led one back in 2017. But to visit Germany, France, & Switzerland w/ the very best of our students in 2025, alongside dear friends & colleagues from sister SBC schools, was simply magic. #ILoveTheReformation

Always big fun to cooperate together w/ sister SBC seminaries to afford students a life-changing stroll thru the past to further strengthen their ministries of tomorrow.

Would you climb to a cave to worship? @MBTS @SEBTS @SWBTS Reformation Study Tour with @Stephen_Eccher

Finally, #ZwingliThePastor has landed at Zurich, the place that serves as the backdrop for Zwingli’s complicated legacy of Reformation. @LexhamPress #ILoveTheReformation
