It's the beginning of Day 2 of Acts 29 Boot Camp at Immanuel Church in Nashville, Tennessee.
At this moment, Acts 29 member Martin Scott is sharing from his own life with about 125 boot campers who have returned for training and discussion. Those here today are those who are in the midst of church planting, about to plant, or part of a planting team.
Everyone is at round tables, hosted by Acts 29 members, to listen to 7-minute talks by church planters based on the topics of the Man (church planter's character), Mission, Message and Marriage. Each talk is followed by a table discussion for each participant to share from their own lives, ask questions and receive help as they pursue and clarify their calling.
Here are a few more photos from yesterday's activities:

A New Kind of Boot Camp
The Acts 29 Network helps pastors plant churches that plant churches so more people can know about Jesus. To better help pastors plant those churches, we are offering a new kind of church planter boot camp we are calling Boot Camp 2.0.
Boot Camp 2.0 will take place over three days; the training and audience will get more focused and more specific as the boot camp progresses. Those pastors interested in joining Acts 29 as members will need to attend all three days. The other two days will be open to a larger group of people.

Acts 29 boot camps are a great way to meet real, live church-planters from all over. Some are working in an urban context, some have planted in a rural farm town. Some have multiple meeting sites, and some have added several missional communities this year. Some are many years into their plant and have sent multiple church plants out from their congregation, while some just launched their first service a week ago.
We love making the teaching session audio from boot camps available to you for free online, but there's no way to reproduce the real conversations, connections, care and prayers that happen between brothers at a boot camp.
Attending a boot camp gives you a glimpse at who Acts 29 really is: a network of Jesus-loving men, bonded around the mission of God through church-planting. ...

Tim Challies Reviews Al Mohler's New Book on the 10 Commandments
"We’ve seen a steady stream of books come from Mohler’s pen in the past couple of years. I have read them all and am quite comfortable saying that this one is the best of the bunch. Logically, consistently, biblically, Mohler looks to the Ten Commandments and then calls us to live in light of those laws, not as people burdened by rules, but as a grateful people acting in love toward a great God." By the way, there's a similar, excellent book by an Acts 29 pastor's wife on teaching the 10 Commandments to your children.
