JURISDICTION AND VENUE
5. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action pursuant to Tenn.
Code Ann. § 16-11-102.
6. Venue is proper pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 20-4-101 because Defendant

of conference centers, camps, and the publication of books, on-going curriculum, Bibles, and other
multimedia resources. LifeWay’s ministries have a global presence through millions of Christian
products used in more than 160 countries.
8. As the past President and CEO and current Chief Advisory Officer of LifeWay,

9. In August 2018, Defendant announced his retirement plans to the LifeWay Board
of Trustees.
-

2927062-000002 09/25/2020"
10. Following Defendant’s retirement announcement, the Lifeway Board of Trustees
nominated a search committee to identify, select, and hire a successor for the position of Chief
Executive Officer.
11. Defendant agreed to remain employed as CEO of Lifeway until a successor was
retained and was ready to begin work, at which time Defendant would be named Chief Advisory
Officer for the purpose of assisting with the transition of his successor as CEO.
12. On August 18, 2018, Defendant executed a Transition Agreement with LifeWay
which outlines the parties’ agreement related to Defendant’s retirement as CEO and service as
Chief Advisory Officer. A true and correct copy of this Transition Agreement is attached hereto
as Exhibit A.
13. According to Section 3 of the Transition Agreement, “Executive will be on active
employee status in the role of Chief Advisory Officer through October 31, 2020, unless this
Agreement is terminated earlier by either party as provided for herein.” Exhibit A, Transition
Agreement, §3. (emphasis added.)
14. Section 9 of the Transition Agreement prohibits Defendant from having any
association, either directly or indirectly, with any Competitive Business for a period of twelve
months following the termination of Defendant’s employment with LifeWay. Section 9 states, in
relevant part:
Executive will not, for himself or in conjunction with any other person, firm,
partnership, corporation or other form of business organization or arrangement
(whether as a shareholder, partner, member, principal, agent, lender, director,
officer, manager, trustee, representative, employee or consultant), directly or
indirectly, be employed by, provide services to, in any way be connected,
associated or have any interest of any kind in, or give advice or consultation to
any Competitive Business. For purposes herein, “Competitive Business” means
all entities, persons or businesses that are engaged in, or have taken substantial steps
(more than 50% revenue) to engage in, Christian publishing trade and Christian
retail industries, but shall not include minimal stock ownership in publicly traded
-
4 4812-5231-6620v5
2927062-000002 09/28/2020"
corporations. Competitive Business shall specifically include, but not be limited
to, Harper Collins, Tyndale, and Barnes & Noble.
Exhibit A, Transition Agreement, §9(a) (emphasis added).
15. Defendant agreed in the Transition Agreement that “a violation of this Agreement
will cause irreparable harm to LifeWay and that damages are not an adequate remedy. Executive
agrees therefore, that LifeWay shall be entitled to a permanent injunction, enjoining, prohibiting
and restraining the Executive from the continuance of any such violation and specific
performance.” Exhibit A, Transition Agreement, §13.
16. On April 22, 2019, Defendant executed a Publishing Agreement with B&H
Publishing Group (“B&H”), the publishing division of LifeWay, a true and correct copy of which
is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
17. The Publishing Agreement granted B&H the sole and exclusive right to publish,
exploit, and/or sell, or license the publication and sale of, all or any portion of the work tentatively
titled, The Church Attendance Manifesto. Publishing Agreement, §1(A).
18. On October 28, 2019, the parties terminated the Publishing Agreement by
agreement. A true and correct copy of the parties’ termination letter is attached hereto as Exhibit
C.
19. The termination of the Publishing Agreement did not release Defendant from the
obligations in Section 9 of the Transition Agreement.
20. Tyndale House Publishers (“Tyndale”) is a Christian publishing company founded
in 1962 and headquartered in Carol Stream, Illinois. Tyndale publishes church resources,
including Christian fiction and nonfiction books and Bibles. Tyndale products include the New
Living Translation Bibles and the New York Times best seller series, Left Behind.
-
5 4812-5231-6620v5
2927062-000002 09/25/2020"
21. On August 3, 2020, Tyndale and Church Answers published a press release (the
“Press Release”) announcing a new ministry partnership dedicated to serving and equipping the
local church with resources to assist the church. The partnership includes creating tools of all
kinds to serve the church and new initiatives in development to supply the church leader with tools
and information. A true and correct copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
22. According to the Press Release, in addition to resources and tools, the partnership
between Tyndale and Defendant includes a multi-book, multiyear agreement publishing books
authored by Defendant with accompanying video curriculum, participant’s guides, and other
ancillary products.
23. According to the Press Release, the partnership between Tyndale and Defendant
also includes and will feature a new Church Answers Resource book series edited by Defendant
and co-published by Tyndale and Church Answers.
24. The logo of ChurchAnswers.com reads “Church Answers Featuring Tom Rainer
sponsored by the new living translation[.]” The New Living Translation (“NLT”) is a translation
of the Bible into modern English. The NLT is published by Tyndale.
25. Defendant has published multiple tweets from his Twitter account that link to the
Press Release on Church Answer’s website. One of Defendant’s tweets features a quote contained
in the Press Release from Ron Beers, Tyndale Senior Vice President and Publisher, describing
Tyndale’s relationship with Defendant as follows: “Tyndale is ecstatic about our long-term
partnership with Thom Rainer and Church Answers. Thom is a gifted leader, teacher, and
communicator whose personal mission aligns perfectly with Tyndale’s.” This quote continues:
“[Rainer] is so successful and respected among tens of thousands of churches not only because he
is a thoughtful and talented writer, but also because he knows perhaps better than anyone the needs
-
6 4812-5231-6620v5
2927062-000002 09/25/2020"
and pulse of the church – its leaders and congregants.” Mr. Beers concludes by stating, “[w]orking
together we have no doubt we will create tools to serve the Church in unique and powerful ways
so that we can all participate more fully in the growth of God’s Kingdom for His glory.”
26. Defendant has published dozens of tweets from his Twitter account with the
hashtag #tyndale. A true and correct copy of several of the tweets are collectively attached hereto
as Exhibit E.
COUNT I – BREACH OF CONTRACT
27. LifeWay incorporates by reference all preceding allegations as if fully set forth
herein.
28. The Transition Agreement is an enforceable contract that Defendant entered
voluntarily.
29. Defendant contractually agreed, in writing, that for a period of twelve (12) months
following the termination of his employment with LifeWay, Defendant would not associate, either
directly or indirectly, with any Competitive Business of LifeWay, expressly including Tyndale.
Exhibit A, Transition Agreement, §9(a).
30. Defendant has formed an extensive commercial relationship with Tyndale, a
Competitive Business specifically identified in the Transition Agreement, which is a direct breach
of Section 9 therein.
31. The confidential information to which Defendant had access in his high-level
executive position at LifeWay will provide Tyndale with a significant competitive advantage, and
it is inevitable that he will disclose to Tyndale confidential information about LifeWay’s products,
processes and services.
-
7 4812-5231-6620v5
2927062-000002 09/25/2020"
32. LifeWay has been damaged as a result of Defendant’s breach of the non-
competition provision (Section 9) of the Transition Agreement.
33. LifeWay is entitled to specific performance of the Transition Agreement and
requests that the Court enforce Section 9 of the Transition Agreement by restraining and enjoining
Defendant from working with Tyndale or any other Competitive Business in violation of the
Transition Agreement.
COUNT II – INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
34. LifeWay incorporates by reference all preceding allegations as if fully set forth
herein.
35. Defendant’s association with Tyndale is a breach of his obligations under the
Transition Agreement.
36. Defendant’s unlawful conduct will cause LifeWay to suffer immediate and
irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law.
37. By reason of Defendant’s breach of the Transition Agreement, LifeWay has and
will continue to suffer immediate and irreparable injury in violation of its rights unless this Court
restrains and enjoins Defendant from engaging in activities in violation of the Transition
Agreement. LifeWay has no adequate remedy at law or otherwise to address this injury save in a
court of equity. No previous application for injunctive relief has been refused by any court.
38. As a result, the Court should restrain and enjoin Defendant as follows:
a. Enjoin and restrain Defendant from directly or indirectly being employed by,
providing services to, in any way being connected with, associated with, or having any kind of
interest in, or giving advice or any consultation to any Competitive Business, specifically including
but not limited to Tyndale.
-
8 4812-5231-6620v5
2927062-000002 09/25/2020"
b. Enter a temporary restraining order and a temporary injunction against Defendant
to maintain the status quo under the Transition Agreement pending final resolution of this matter;
and
c. Grant LifeWay further relief as the Court may deem just, proper, and equitable.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that process issue and that this Court accept
jurisdiction of this case and, after all due proceedings, issue a judgment in favor of Plaintiff and
against Defendant:
A. Awarding compensatory damages to Plaintiff in an amount to be determined at trial,
including without limitation, Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and costs;
B. Finding Defendant liable for all damages awarded to Plaintiff;
C. Awarding such further general, legal, or equitable relief to which Plaintiff is
entitled;
D. Awarding injunctive relief to Plaintiff to cause Defendant to cease violating the
Transition Agreement; and
E. Awarding any other relief that this court deems just or appropriate.
THIS IS PLAINTIFF’S FIRST APPLICATION FOR
EXTRAORDINARY RELIEF IN THIS MATTER
