At some point preoccupation with safety can get in the way of living full lives.

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.

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

A missional church is a church that must live the dialectic. It must stay in the journey.

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

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.

A missional theology...appl ies to the whole of life of every believer. Every disciple is to be an agent of the kingdom of God, and every disciple is to carry the mission of God into every sphere of life. We are all missionaries sent into a non-Christian culture.
