It is vital to see ourselves as part of an ongoing journey started by our heroes in the Scriptures.

More data is not always the answer.

If we are going to make the change from community to communitas, and not just end up with an unsustainable adrenaline-junkie culture, we must have a sophisticated process to form people into adventurer-disciples.

Interestingly, it's as though the gospel story of Jesus is the archetypal heroic journey, the embodiment of the very adventure that all people in every epoch have desired.

The ultimate solution to the problem of spiritual complacency is to create a systematically embedded culture of holy urgency.

Think of mission like the paddles of a defibrillator applied to the chest of a dying church.

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