At the recent AMBITION Boot Camp sponsored by Sojourn Community Church, I sat down to talk with Ray Ortlund about why he chose to plant with Acts 29, being asked to resign from a previous church and his "one thing" for church planters. For more information, visit www.churchplanting.sojournchurch.com, www.cp4us.org, www.acts29network.org.
Ray is an awesome man and preacher, and he was asked to resign because the Session of which I was part, realized that reconciliation was not going to happen. We chose to save a small but significant rabble rousing group in the church who were immature, irrational and out of control, instead of defending a good man who had some leadership limitations but was preaching boldly and shaking the foundations of idolatry and mediocrity in a stale church.

Ray was asked to resign from two major churches because he was destroying them from the inside out. Matthew 7:15.
