In this guest editorial, Ed Welch shares personal reflections on David Powlison, longtime senior editor of the JBC who died in 2019. Drawing on four decades of friendship, Welch traces the threads that shaped Powlison’s life and work: his conversion, his daily devotional habits, his view of the JBC as his “canvas,” and his deep contentment in Christ despite a lifelong experience of physical weakness. It’s a warm, personal portrait of the man behind the development of the journal, offered by someone who knew him well.
