Josh Harris

Josh Harris has taken on the leadership role of Covenant Life Church which was led for almost thirty years by C. J. Mahaney. I was able to interview him and focused on this relationship. Josh is well known as an author and conference speaker. Meeting C. J. inspired him to stop dating the church and instead give his life to serve it as a lead pastor.

Facebook or Courtbook From the Man Who Kissed Facebook Goodbye

August 26, 2007

So, although Josh Harris has kissed Facebook goodbye, he has this to say to the rest of us, especially singles: Enjoy Facebook. And if you’re a godly single man, receive it as a gift from God to assist you in nonchalantly building a friendship with a godly Christian woman. I’m serious, men! If you’re mature [...]

DG06 – When Josh Harris Was Glad He Wasn’t Mark Driscoll

October 1, 2006

Josh Harris reports from one of the discussion sessions – his whole post is great, but what stuck out for me was what he had to say about Driscoll: “Moment I Was Most Glad Not to Be Mark Driscoll: When John Piper gave warm pastoral adjustment and correction to him while he wasn’t there. I [...]

TRAVEL DIARY – Visiting Covenant Life Church

August 29, 2006

Having visited this church on Sunday, I can see why C.J. frequently describes his home church as “the dearest place on earth.” Somehow I suspect if I, too, had been a part of this church for decades, then I would feel the same way. It was a real joy just to be able to pose [...]

What is C.J. Mahaney?

August 8, 2006

Mark Dever asks over at the T4G Blog, “What is C.J.?” The question, no doubt, relates to C.J. having handed over his senior pastor role to Josh Harris.

Preparing a Sermon (with John Stott and Josh Harris)

December 11, 2005

Josh Harris has a great post on sermon preparation: “Call the congregation to act! Our expectation as the sermon comes to an end, is not merely that people will understand or remember or enjoy our teaching, but that they will do something about it. If there is no summons, there is no sermon! The precise [...]

December 4, 2005
