Many of us are super-busy on mission and with ministry related activities, but may not be focused on the right things that produce the greatest fruit. (more…)
Without discipleship, we are left with a “shadow church”… a lot of religious trappings and tradition without the red hot center of the mission Jesus gave us at its core. Is the church stuck?
This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we’ll address why discipleship is so rare in our churches and we’re calling church leaders to rethink and reframe what we actually mean by discipleship, to begin with.
If you try and treat life and the rhythms in a missional community like a light switch, something you suddenly flip on in your lives, you’ll be disappointed and frustrated. It takes time for any group of people to develop new rhythms and begin to truly feel as if they are part of a family.
This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we’ll teach you how to organize some things right off the bat and create space for the more organic rhythms to develop. And we’ll give you a peek at some sample calendars for a week in the life of a missional community.
We live in a culture oriented entirely toward comfort, and the church is not immune to this allure. Are we just dissatisfied consumers hoping to find our perfectly customized dream job, dream house, dream vacation, and even our dream church and a perfectly comfortable dream life?
This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we’ll help you discover if you are already living too comfortably for the mission that Jesus called us—his Church, his disciples—to live out.
The foundation of living as a ‘family on mission’ is believing you are part of God’s family and seeing others as family members that God is looking to restore and bring close to himself. And all of it must be a natural outgrowth of our family life together on mission.
This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we’ll show you the steps you need to prepare your family to actually be ready for missional living.
We all have hidden idols in our life…big and small. An idol is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, or anything you seek to give you what only God can give.
This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we tackle the four root idols: control, approval, comfort, and power. We’ll get you started and show you how to destroy the idols in your life.
This is powerful!
