Mike Anderson from the Resurgence blog highlights Matt Chandler today, providing links to conference video and interviews. According to Mike, “You need to know Matt Chandler.”

Chandler is the pastor of The Village Church in Dallas, TX.

Here’s some background info on Chandler from Mike’s post:

“Before becoming a pastor, Matt was running a non-profit. One of his big donors asked him to interview for a head pastor position at a dying Baptist church. Matt had zero desire to accept the job—but even when he preached election, elder-lead government, and God’s Sovereignty to an old school baptist congregation—they still hired him! God has used Matt in incredible ways. The small church has grown to over 3,000 people in a few short years, planted several churches, and sends out swarms of missionaries.”
