In missional churches, the baby birds have been pushed out of the nest and are learning to fly for themselves.

More data is not always the answer.

Every Christian is a sent one. There is no such thing as an unsent Christian.

Being the church that Jesus intended means that we must participate in God’s eternal purposes for his world. Renewal means more than reinventing ourselves; it means rediscovering the primal power of the Spirit and the gospel already present in the life of the church—reconnecting with this purpose and recovering the forgotten ways. This purpose and potential have always been there, but individuals and communities have largely lost touch with them.

A retreatist spirituality is not a spirituality that can, or will, transform the world in Jesus's name.

When there is no possibility of retreat, we will find the innovation that only the liminal situation can bring. In short, we find the faith of leap.

The fact is that if Jesus's future kingdom is secure, those who trust in its coming will enact it now.
