New Acts29 Boot Camp Audio

New Acts29 Boot Camp audio (Feb 2006) is now online.  I haven't listened to any of it yet, but I can already highly recommend Driscoll's Reverse Engineering Your Life and Daniel Montgomery's workshop, The Functional Centrality of the Gospel.  I know Daniel (pastor of Sojourn in Louisville, KY) and we talked over lunch at the Dallas Acts29 Boot Camp about the gospel.  I'll go out on a limb and say his talk should rock.

The Reverse Engineering Your Life session that he taught at Dallas has radically changed my entire life. Listen to it over and over again!

Thanks Steve.

[Steve McCoy]

Michael, same with me bro. Very helpful.

I just finished with Daniel Montgomery's seminar and it's as good as I hoped it would be. Check it out.

[Michael Foster]

Daniel's stuff was great. He e-mailed me a copy of the notes he passed out. Would you like a copy?

[Steve McCoy]

He sent it to me too. Thanks for thinking of me Michael.

I actually found the Reverse-Engineering thing rather disappointing. I mean, really, were there no single guys at this thing?

[Michael Foster]

Tim,

Do you plan on staying single?

[Tim Sharpe]

Michael,
Not necessarily, but that's somewhat besides the point. My problem with the segment was that the main "acceptable release valve" that Mark mentions is sex. This strikes me as an amazingly unhealthy and unbiblical view of sex, and entirely unhelpful for single men (like, you know, Paul) that are called to church planting.

[Steve McCoy]

I'm pretty sure that Acts29 will not send out planters who are single. So he assumes his audience is married guys. You may not like where they have placed that boundary, but that's where it is.

Also, in 1 Cor 7 Paul seems to say that married people not having sex opens you up to temptation for lack of self-control, so we should "come together again" to avoid that. Sounds a lot like what Mark said, and I agree with it.

And any guy should know (including single ones) that not having sex adds pressure. It's not the whole of the sexual picture, but it certainly is a part.
