Building community for its own sake is like attending a cancer support group without having cancer.

The church of Jesus needs to wake up from the exile of passivity and embrace liminality and adventure or continue to remain a religious ghetto for culturally co-opted, fearful, middle-class folk.

Whether we like it or not, we are all on a journey, a Quest if you will, every day of our lives, and the path we must take is full of perils, and our destiny can never be predicted in advance.

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.

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

There's no such thing as an unsent Christian. You have already been SENT.

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