A Week With Jerry Bridges

One of the many reasons that the Pastor's College is so unique and so amazing, is the group of men that serve as teachers throughout the year. Two weeks ago, Jason had his class on grace and sanctification taught by Jerry Bridges. He came home every day so affected by this man's life, his humility, and his love for the Savior. Jason even had the opportunity to take him out to dinner! Neat huh! Every Thursday, we have gym day and the guys come down and join us for 20 minutes or so. Jerry Bridges came that week and enjoyed the big family atmosphere. I forgot my camera, of course, but a friend took a family picture for me. While he was here, C.J. interviewed Mr. Bridges and the audio link is on the Sov Grace website. Listen in if you get a chance! It is so affecting to see his life, long-lived, as a joyful servant! I want every chance I can get to look alongside his gaze as he draws near to the cross of Christ!
