Don Carson Steps Back from Ministry Due to Advancing Parkinson's Disease
Don Carson, co-founder of The Gospel Coalition, has recently announced the end of his speaking engagements and ministry involvements due to physical and cognitive limitations from Parkinson's disease. This news comes as the organization approaches its 20th anniversary next year.
Carson's decades of biblically faithful writing, teaching, and church leadership have touched countless lives worldwide. Despite facing significant health challenges, he maintains his characteristic faith, often saying, "I am not suffering from anything that a good general resurrection can't fix."
The Carson Center for Theological Renewal continues his legacy by providing theological resources for Bible study leaders, small-group facilitators, and anyone interested in studying Scripture. The Center's resources are designed to be easily accessible, allowing users to find answers to theological questions through quick smartphone searches.
Prayer requests focus on:
- Mercy and comfort for Don and his family
- Strength as they navigate this health challenge
- Continued blessing on his legacy of theological education
Note: The Carson Center welcomes those interested in receiving updates and announcements about their ongoing theological work and resources.
