Fight Clubs @ Resurgence

Posted on July 30, 2009

Over the next three days, The Resurgence will run three excerpts from my forthcoming book Fight Clubs: Gospel-centered Discipleship. I’m excited to announce that on August 1st the booklet will be available in three forms:

  • eBooklet Download
  • Print on Demand @ LuLu
  • Online Viewing

Check out the first excerpt here. Keep an eye out for the Fight Club website. Also, check out the unrelated but a similar vision of gospel-centered discipleship, which focuses on men at the Fight Club conference, hosted by an Acts 29 Church.

LEAD Conference 09

Posted on July 29, 2009

Here is a description of the LEAD 09 Conference, which I will be speaking at with Tim Chester:

The main theme of “gospel | community | mission” Lead09 is open to people of all ages.  We are excited to see the Church come together for Lead09, with people from high school to retired pastors; college students to pastors; lay leaders to paid staff.  Lead09 strives to not only talk about community, but display it.

If you sign up now, get a free copy of Total Church and entered into a drawing for an ESV Study Bible. I’m looking forward to returning to New England, working with the Josh’s, and speaking alongside Tim. I am just about to send the titles of my talks to LEAD.

Hope to see you there!

Returning from Uganda

Posted on July 27, 2009

This evening we fly out from Kampala, Uganda to Chicago, Il. This two week trip seems like it has been a month and a half, largely because we have done and seen so much, from village to urban African life. Our host, Pastor Gerald, has been very gracious, opening lots of minstry doors for the team. We have learned so much. Pray that the Spirit would help us process these important lessons, both for ourselves and for Austin City Life.

In the next few weeks we will have a Uganda presentation to share photos, videos, and stories of what God is doing in Uganda. I have also started blogging theological insights from the trip here. I can’t wait to see my family and to worship with ACL. Thanks to all who have prayed so dilligently. We escaped any serious sickness or physical hardship, and fought the fight of faith well. Grace has been upon us, underneath us, and before us. With you in the mission, Jonathan.
