Dr. David Powlison died on June 7, 2019 at the age of 69. He was a founding member of the Biblical Counseling Coalition. Today’s 15:14 is a repost of Curtis interviewing Dr. Powlison in 2016. David will be greatly missed by our ministry and many others whose lives have been influenced by our dear brother.

Barbara Juliani, Editorial Director at New Growth Press, is our guest on today's episode of 15:14. Listen in as Barbara and Curtis discuss a new series of children's books that apply biblical counseling principles to particular struggles in a way that is accessible and understandable to young children. These beautifully illustrated books can help parents, grandparents, and children's ministry workers address issues like anger, anxiety, and pride in the hearts of the children in their lives. 

This week Curtis is joined by Dr. Rob Plummer, Professor of New Testament Interpretation at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. Plummer discusses the importance of studying the Bible in its original languages and shares some of the resources he has created so that anyone can learn and maintain their knowledge of Greek from anywhere in the world. Be sure to check out these free resources at the Daily Dose of Greek website.
