Stephen Witmer

Stephen Witmer, lead pastor near Boston and TGC council member, gives a keynote on a Christian view of marriage rooted in Ephesians 5. He describes marriage as a window revealing Christ, traces historical shifts in how marriage is valued, and explains male-female complementarity as serving the gospel. He warns against idolizing or dismissing marriage while calling listeners to cherish its role pointing to Christ.

Stephen Witmer, lead pastor, editor, and author, guides listeners through George Herbert’s life and poetry. He explains how to read poems as whole, embodied works. He explores why poetry feels countercultural, Herbert’s pastoral aim, and highlights poems like “Easter Wings,” “Sin,” and “Jesu.” Short, curious, and invitational reflections on form, meaning, and spiritual formation.
