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

The kingdom of God is a crash-bang opera: the king is dramatic, demanding, and unavoidable.

Every Christian is a sent one. There is no such thing as an unsent Christian.

Because we believe that somewhere in the nest of paradigms contained in the phrase "missional church" lies nothing less that the future viability of Western Christianity.

Being the church that Jesus intended means that we must participate in God’s eternal purposes for his world. Renewal means more than reinventing ourselves; it means rediscovering the primal power of the Spirit and the gospel already present in the life of the church—reconnecting with this purpose and recovering the forgotten ways. This purpose and potential have always been there, but individuals and communities have largely lost touch with them.

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.

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