Missional

Yeah, crazy word. But I think an understanding of what it means to be missional is an understanding of what it means to plant a church that truly makes a difference. I personally do not like the "if you build it, they will come" mindset that a lot of church planters take. Most aren't really making disciples, they just make a church service.

Anyway, Scot McKnight has started a series about understanding the "missional Jesus". You can read his thoughts so far (here, here, here, and here). He's got some great insights, and I'm looking forward to reading more.

Next week might be a little slow on the blog front, I'm heading to Houston with some of my team for an understanding of what it means to be missional.

Actually, I think a better word is incarnational. I like the idea of pouring into others, teaching them to do the same. But now it's just semantics.
