What is the\u00a0CTB\u00a0Cohort<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The CTB Cohort<\/em> is a 10-session (one semester, two hours per session) online cohort (Zoom) designed to equip young men who aspire to significant Christian leadership with a solid understanding of the big-picture of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.<\/p>\n

Why do we need the CTB Cohort<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many young men are passionate about Jesus and want to serve His people with faithfulness and fruitfulness right now<\/em> and for decades to come<\/em>. Yet, many of these same young men, if they are honest, aren’t very familiar with the Bible at all. We need the CTB Cohort<\/em> to go to war with biblical illiteracy among young Christian leaders.<\/p>\n

ED STETZER, Executive Director of the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center:<\/strong> “America can be proud of many things: our innovation, generosity and entrepreneurial spirit are unsurpassed. Yet when it comes to our nation understanding one of the greatest gifts ever given to humanity\u2014the Bible\u2014we’re moving from dumb to dumber … and it’s no laughing matter.”<\/p>\n

MARK DEVER, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church: <\/strong>\u201cBiblical literacy may be higher in some places, but here in the U.S. it\u2019s certainly lower than it used to be, and it\u2019s declining.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALBERT MOHLER, The Southern Baptist Seminary: <\/strong>\u201c\u2026 we ought to give some urgent attention to a problem much closer to home\u2013biblical illiteracy in the church. This scandalous problem is our own, and it\u2019s up to us to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who will be leading the CTB Cohort<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>The leader\/teacher will be Mitch Maher. Mitch serves as the Lead Pastor at\u00a0Redeemer Community Church in Katy, TX and is the author\/presenter of his own resource Clarifying The Bible<\/em>.\u00a0He graduated Plano Senior High in 1991, the University of North Texas in 1995, and Dallas Theological Seminary in 2000. After serving as the Young Singles Pastor on Tom Nelson\u2019s staff at Denton Bible Church (1998 \u2013 2001), Mitch planted Fellowship Bible Church in Jonesboro, AR in 2002. After leading Fellowship for six years he transitioned to Redeemer in 2008, where he\u2019s served as the Lead Pastor for 12 years. In addition to his own Clarifying The Bible<\/em> seminars that he teaches around the country, Mitch is a regular teacher at the Kanakuk Institute in Missouri, a contributor to Downline Ministries in Tennessee, and a recent speaker\/teacher at Pine Cove\u2019s Family Camp and The Forge in Texas.<\/p>\n

Below are some testimonials concerning Mitch\u2019s Clarifying The Bible<\/em> material. He aims to garner the same kinds of responses from participants in the CTB Cohort<\/em>.<\/p>\n

JUSTIN TAYLOR, <\/strong>Crossway and The Gospel Coalition:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThis is the best material I\u2019ve seen at an intro level for explaining what\u2019s in the Bible and how it fits together.\u201d<\/p>\n

TAYLOR TOLLISON,\u00a0<\/b>Area Director, Campus Outreach, University of Tennessee:\u00a0<\/b><\/span>\u201c<\/span>For college students I haven’t found a more clear and concise resource that gives such a solid framework through which to understand the storyline and structure of God’s Word than Clarifying The Bible<\/i>. I’ve had Mitch come teach at our summer training projects, shown his video in countless discipleship groups, taught these principles and lessons several times, and I still want more!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

TEDASHII, <\/strong>Hip Hop Artist, Reach Records:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cClarifying The Bible<\/em>\u00a0is an AMAZING resource! I\u2019ve seen personally, from a small group setting to one-on-one, how this resource can open up your understanding of God\u2019s Word in a way that drives you to want more of Jesus. My wife and I love it!\u201d<\/p>\n

JIM HAMILTON, <\/strong>Professor of Biblical Theology, Southern Seminary:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWe are all aware of the growing phenomenon of biblical illiteracy. Mitch Maher has set out to address this problem. His overview,\u00a0Clarifying The Bible<\/em>, indeed clarifies the whole Bible. He is a clear and likable communicator, and he knows his stuff. May the Lord use Mitch and this project to turn the tide of biblical illiteracy!\u201d<\/p>\n

WILL RAMBO, <\/strong>Senior Pastor, The Orchard, Tupelo, MS:\u00a0<\/strong>“I grew up in church, son of a pastor. I have worked in churches for years and paid quality money for a fantastic seminary education. And yet, no resource has so concisely framed the narrative of Scripture as Mitch’s work in Clarifying The Bible<\/em>. I watch it regularly. I teach it often. I have given this to many leaders and friends. It should be in the hands of every follower of Jesus that they might know, teach, and embody the Gospel more and more.”<\/p>\n

KENNON VAUGHAN, <\/strong>Founder, Downline Ministries, Memphis, TN:\u00a0<\/strong>“Mitch brings incredible clarity\u00a0to the entire Bible in a way that gives\u00a0both new believers and seminary graduates a greater ability to comprehend and appreciate God’s Word.\u00a0I gained more understanding in two hours of\u00a0Clarifying The Bible<\/em>\u00a0with Mitch than in my previous 10 years studying the Word on my own. This\u00a0is a treasure for those who are hungry to know their Bibles.”<\/p>\n

Here’s a sample of Mitch’s teaching of Clarifying The Bible<\/em>. It’s a 29 minute section on Paul’s letters.<\/p>\n\n\n
