At the recent AMBITION Boot Camp sponsored by Sojourn Community Church, I sat down to talk with Ray Ortlund about why he chose to plant with Acts 29, being asked to resign from a previous church and his “one thing” for church planters.
If you don’t yet know Ray, you should get to know him. In addition to being a scholar, A29 Pastor, and blogger at the Gospel Coalition, he and his wife are truly amazing people.
As I mentioned last week, I am going to try to start sharing some of the best of what I read the previous week for your benefit as well. I will post them at the beginning of the week and call it “Best Blogs of Last Week” or something similar. Let me know if this is helpful.
At the recent AMBITION Boot Camp, I talked with Scott Thomas about two things that he has lots of experience with–replanting churches and dealing with criticism.
As expected, Scott offers some sound counsel for both.
At the recent AMBITION Bootcamp sponsored by Sojourn Community Church in Louisville, I sat down with Acts 29 Director Scott Thomas for a greatly helpful conversation.
In this interview, Scott shares some great wisdom on the Top 5 Qualities for a successful church planter, some wisdom for those considering planting, and his “one thing” for church planter.
few weeks ago, I moderated a panel discussion as a joint event between the Sojourn Church Planting Center and my ministry “Church Planting for the Rest of Us.”
This is a great excerpt from my friend and A29 Pastor, Kevin Jamison, sharing what he considers the top 5 church planting mistakes guys often make.
At the recent AMBITION Boot Camp sponsored by Sojourn Community Church in Louisville, KY, I sat down with Dave Harvey, Director of Church Planting and Church Care for Sovereign Grace Ministries to discuss discerning the call to church planting and the role of the church in that process, the balance between ambition and humility, and his ONE THING for church planters.
Dave is a great guy who drips with grace and wisdom and is a great gift to the Kingdom.
Last Fall, at the Houston Boot Camp, Acts 29 interviewed me about my call to church planting and pastoring my family. Hopefully this will encourage you to consider your own calling and pastoring your own family.
To provide an environment for me to share what God has shown me in my own planting journey over the past five years-the good, the bad, and the ugly. I hope to drop at least one bite a week or so through both text and HD video.
To serve as a ‘clearing house’ for the ‘best of the best’ content from other writers that I find along the way in my own research and daily reading. As you will see, I am starting with what has most deeply impacted me from the Resurgence and the Acts 29 blogs, but will branch out from there to other planters I know and from other helpful sources.
To serve as an encouragement to the countless number of pastors who may or may not ever pastor large, rapidly growing churches. Though conferences may lead us to believe otherwise, this experience will not be that of most men. My hope is that this blog can will “speak up for the little guy” and offer equipping, resourcing, and networking for the glory of God and the good of the world.
