Last month, the Acts 29 Network hosted a Boot Camp in Dallas, Texas, and the audio from the messages have been made available. Here they are:
• The Mission and Vision of Acts 29 Network by Mark Driscoll
• Cultivating a Culture of Repentance by Darrin Patrick
• Vivification & Mortification: A Process to Holiness by Matt Chandler
• Going Deep With Sabbath Rest by JR Vassar
• The Role of Social Justice & Poverty in Discipleship by Matt Carter
• Spirit-Led Ecclesiology: Following the Spirit Through Church-Planting by Jonathan Dodson
• Pitfalls of Church Planting by Barry Keldie
The church planting section of the Leadership Network has some helpful articles and resources to browse through. Be sure to check out their resources such as downloads, books, and podcasts. I should mention that I do not agree with some of the methodologies and approaches to church planting offered on LN; nevertheless, this is a good place to see where church planting has been, where it is going, and things we can learn (both how and how not to plant churches). Their four main article are worth downloading (PDF):
Church Planting Overview
Funding New Churches
Improving the Health and Survivability of New Churches
Who Starts New Churches?
Jonathan Dodson is currently planting a church in Austin, Texas, and has an excellent blog dedicated to church planting, called Church Planting Novice. I encourage you to check out his blog which has a nice blend of practical helps, missiological reflection, and good resources. There aren’t many blogs dedicated specifically to missional church planting (at least good ones!), so I wanted to be sure to call Jonathan’s writings to your attention.
Tim Keller is one of the (if not THE) most respected and referenced men of the modern missional movement in North America. Whatever articles, audio, or other resources you can get your hands on by Keller would be of great benefit to you. From December 2003 through April of 2004, Keller wrote a four-part series entitled “Advancing the Gospel into the 21st Century.” For this weeks’ Fuel Friday, I want to draw your attention to them:
1. Church Multiplying
2. Gospel-Centered
3. Context-Sensitive
4. City-Focused Strategy
For more resources of Tim Keller, see Steve McCoy’s great list.
Friday’s are dedicated to fueling the vision by pointing to helpful resources on the internet and elsewhere for your benefit. This Friday, I would like for you to check out the audio from the sessions of the 2008 London Dwell Conference which took place this past July. You can find the audio by clicking on the following links:
* Preaching Jesus (Mark Driscoll)
* The Missional Church (Mark Driscoll)
* Am I a Church Planter? (Scott Thomas)
* Gospel of Grace vs. Religion of Works (Mark Driscoll)
* Be Radical and Plant Radical Churches | Church Planter (Mark Driscoll)
* Be Radical and Plant Radical Churches | Church Leadership (Mark Driscoll)
* Be Radical and Plant Radical Churches | Final Thoughts and Q&A (Mark Driscoll)
* Movements Are Messy: Getting and Staying on Mission (Mark Driscoll)
* Spirit-led Missions: Following the Luke-Acts Paradigm (Mark Driscoll)
I want to commend to you the audio from the Dwell Conference in NYC, co-hosted by Tim Keller (Redeemer Presbyterian Church) and the Acts 29 Network. This was a conference hosted earlier this year that focused on urban church planting, although the messages are applicable for all believers seeking to dwell bothin the text of Scripture and the context of culture. They have made the notes for each message as well. Here’s the links for the audio to download:
1. Dwelling with Non-Christians (Darrin Patrick)
2. Dwelling in the Gospel (Tim Keller)
3. Dwelling thru the Text (Mark Driscoll)
4. Persuasion (Tim Keller)
5. Dwelling in the Text (Mark Driscoll)
6. Dwelling in the Cross (C.J. Mahaney)
7. Dwelling in the Kingdom (Ed Stetzer)
8. Dwelling Incarnationally (Eric Mason)
