The Courage to Lead Through . . . An Example

By sifilings on Sun, 10/19/14

Matt Olson

“Pastor Crowley and I had travelled different paths and yet came to the same place. I ‘got out’ because of my convictions. He ‘stayed in’ and fought for his convictions. Who was right? Who was more courageous? Who was more of a ‘fundamentalist’?”

This was a joy to read. It was interesting to hear Matt state that his model for church planting was what he’d seen in Crowley’s church. I was under the impression that his model was that of the church planting program of his alma mater.

BTW, I am one fundamentalist who rejoices regularly over the fact the the SBC was not “a house built on sand”.
