I’m a big fan of “mission”

I think a lot of churches have it backwards by expecting non-christians, non-religious, religious haters, apathetic people, people of other faiths to come to their church to hear a message about Jesus.

What has resulted is an attractional model in the Church today, which instead of being God-pleasers only, we resort to being Man-pleasers and compromise the Grace and Truth of the Gospel.

I love Alan Hirsch’s book “The Forgotten Ways” because he really examines this “seeker sensitive model” well and also shares how Jesus calls us to live out mission in the church.

Go to where non-christians are and reach them on their turf! I know it’s a radical idea, but if only we as the church embodied this more.

Listen to what Alan Hirsch says about this and being “missional”:

Why this video?:
I read Jaeson’s book near the end of my 40 day sabbatical and could not put it down! It was an amazing follow-up book to The Forgotten Ways by Alan Hirsch because it really gives practical ways to live on mission, become a person of prayer, have a passion for the lost and discipling them in the way of Jesus, and how to start planting simple churches without having to go to a bunch of conferences! God is using it to change college campuses for the Kingdom of God, and would be a great asset for any church that wants to reach the unreached people groups in their cities!
