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

If we could be freed from our aversion to loss, our whole outlook on risk would change.

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

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

Our preferences for stability and security blind us to the opportunities for adventure when they present themselves.

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

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