Russell D. Moore, senior vice president for academic administration and dean of the School of Theology at Southern Seminary, is one of the featured speakers at the Acts 29 Boot Camp at Sojourn Community Church in Louisville, Nov. 10-11.
Gregg Allison, professor of Christian theology at Southern, is one of the speakers for the pastor as resident theologian breakout track.
Moore is presenting the seventh main session, “Preaching & Ambition,” with a characteristically-unique sermon title: “Speaking Past Demons: Christian Preaching as Expository Exorcism.” Moore’s presentation at the sold-out conference is at 3:30 p.m., Nov. 11. Allison’s breakout session on church history, which he will lead with Reid Monaghan, is from 1:30-2:20 p.m., Nov. 11.
Acts 29 Boot Camps are church planting conferences that focus on the vision of church planting, calling of the planter, mandate to multiply churches and the theological foundation for Gospel-centered church planting, according to the Acts 29 website.
In addition to his duties at Southern, Moore serves as a preaching pastor at Highview Baptist Church’s Fegenbush campus. Moore is the author of “The Kingdom of Christ” and “Adopted for Life.”
Allison previously taught theology and church history at Western Seminary in Portland, Ore. He has also served as an adjunct professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Ill., and the Institute of Biblical Studies in Western Europe.
Acts 29 holds multiple Boot Camps each year, with themes that are unique to each event. The Louisville Boot Camp carries the theme, “Ambition,” based on Romans 15:20: “It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation” (NIV).
