Interactive Bible Studies with Lydia Brownback – Here’s one for the ladies: “Join Crossway and Lydia Brownback for Tuesday Talk, a new interactive Bible Study on Facebook and at the Crossway Blog! Starting June 1st, Lydia will kick off the discussion based on her new book Purity: A Godly Woman’s Adornment. We will be pursuing purity and godly womanhood together for 42 days! Lydia will stop by every Tuesday to host a devotional time via video. Feel free to comment and ask questions throughout the week as well!”

Ikea’s PlayReport – WIRED shares a few results from a recent study from Ikea. Here’s a good conclusion: “Children overwhelmingly prefer playing with their friends and parents over watching TV. When children across the world were asked to choose between watching TV or playing with friends or parents, they overwhelmingly choose to play with friends (89%) and parents (73%) with TV a very poor substitute for social interaction at only 11%.”

Q&A with Paul Tripp – Desiring God recently had a two-hour question and answer session with Paul Tripp. You can watch the video of that at the link provided.

Think – And speaking of Desiring God, they’ve released an impressive video advertising their forthcoming conference on the life of the mind.
