You plant the gospel. You don't plant churches.

But the standard churchy spirituality doesn't require any real action, courage, or sacrifice from its attendees.

A missional theology...appl ies to the whole of life of every believer. Every disciple is to be an agent of the kingdom of God, and every disciple is to carry the mission of God into every sphere of life. We are all missionaries sent into a non-Christian culture.

You cannot sell a Christendom approach to a post-Christian world. They are anti-Christian.

But herein lies the rub: Christianity has been on a long-term trend of decline in every Western cultural context that we can identify.

The quest for heroic adventure then is a quest for the gospel, although it might not be seen that way by everyone.

Worship that is in some way divorced from mission is counterfeit worship
