Martin Luther notes that the Psalter “should be precious and dear to us if only because it most clearly promises the death and resurrection of Christ\, and describes His kingdom\, and the nature and standing of all Christian people. It could well be called a ‘little Bible’ since it contains\, set out in the briefest and most beautiful form\, all that is to be found in the whole Bible.” Within this seminar we will study how the Psalter teaches us how to do biblical theology\, how to the teach the Psalter as a book\, and the New Testament use of the Psalms. \n \n\n\n\n\n\nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to grow your teaching skills in a relaxed and friendly setting! \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Our Speaker\nJosh Tillman\, Lead Pastor –Westwind Church\, Waukee\n \n Westwind Church Website\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n I was born and raised in Jacksonville\, Florida and came to faith in the Lord when I was 13 years old. My home church partnered with Bob Tebow and his evangelistic association and I began taking annual mission trips with him to the Philippines while in high school before spending a year there after graduation. It was during this time that I sensed God’s call into ministry and met and married Joanna\, my wife of 22 years. We moved to Louisville\, KY where I did my undergraduate at Boyce College and my M.Div at Southern Seminary. While at Southern I had the opportunity to intern with a professor who was in the process of revitalizing a local church. This internship radically changed the directory of my life and ministry. From there my wife and I have been apart of church revitalization work in Kentucky\, Missouri\, and Florida before being called to serve here in Iowa.\nI have continued to have a heart for the nations and have had opportunities to train pastors in the Philippines\, El Salvador\, and Nepal. I earned my PhD in Biblical Theology from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2022 and wrote of the message and theology of Book I of the Psalter. My research interest has focused primarily on biblical theology and ecclesiology. Recently\, I have helped Corban University develop an Old Testament undergraduate course on Poetry and Wisdom Literature and have began serving as an adjunct professor. \nAdditionally\, I have served on local association boards for revitalization training and equipping and I currently am on the board for Waypoint Resources in Waukee\, IA. My wife and I have five children whom we homeschool (ages 10-19) and our oldest is enrolled at Spurgeon College’s Fusion program and is training to spend three months overseas.\n \n REGISTER NOW URL:https://bciowa.org/event/bci-preaching-the-psalms-seminar-april-17th/ LOCATION:Westwind Church\, 1115 Southeast Westbrook Drive\, Waukee\, IA\, 50263\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bciowa.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/2026PSALMS-Title.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Ben Bradley":MAILTO:bbradley@bciowa.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260425T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260425T143000 DTSTAMP:20260502T065916 CREATED:20260330T182005Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260330T204556Z UID:23239-1777104000-1777127400@bciowa.org SUMMARY:Heartland Sioux City – 2026 Women's Conference DESCRIPTION:Heartland Sioux City – 2026 Women’s Conference\n \n \n \n When: Saturday\, April 25th • 8:30am–2:30pmWhere: Heartland Church • 2201 W 19th St. •  Sioux CityCost: $35\n \n \n \n \n \n REGISTER\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Conference Info\nHeartland Church in Sioux City is hosting the 2026 Women’s Conference and invites women from BCI churches across north and west Iowa to join for a meaningful day of encouragement and spiritual growth. \nThis year’s conference will focus on moving beyond head knowledge into an abiding\, life-giving relationship with Christ\, being rooted\, strengthened\, and transformed by the River of Life.
