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

The safety-obsessed church lacks the inner dynamic to foster profound missional impact in our time.

The missional church is not a new trend or the latest new technique for reaching postmodern people.

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.

We have to assume now that all mission is cross-cultural.

At some point preoccupation with safety can get in the way of living full lives.

More data is not always the answer.
