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

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

Mission is the practical demonstration, whether by speech or by action, of the glorious lordship of Jesus.

If we can embrace the adventure and risk and equip our churches to lay down their lives and abandon their inherent loss-aversion, who knows what innovation, what freshness, what new insights from the Spirit will emerge.

This submission to the threshold of a cross is at the very root of our following Jesus; it changes the game completely.

The appetite for adventure and risk is not exclusive to young Christians. In face, it seems to be a fundamental yearning, knitted into the fabric of the human soul.

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.
