Fight Clubs @ Resurgence

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

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!
