Missional communities should be an extension of our own family life patterns and missional rhythms. Like our master, Jesus, we must lead with our lives–not just our words. Our own family on mission is at the center of everything we do and what we build.
In this episode, you’ll hear from a beautiful couple as we talk about how they’ve successfully integrated all of family life, work, and ministry into a natural lifestyle of disciple-making in community. I could not think of anyone better to illustrate the fun, the woes, the joy and the triumphs of living as a family on mission.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- How John and Alison started living this way as a family.
- How their unique gifts both conflict and lead them forward on mission.
- Some of the challenges that come up for them and their kids.
- How normal this lifestyle now feels and the joy they experience.
From this episode:
“Everyone gets to do mission in ways that fit their unique family rhythms. There is not one perfect way to do this, and God is not up in heaven keeping track of your schedule and making sure you’re busy enough. You get to pray for his leading on how to better intentionalize life on mission for your family. I promise if you ask him, “What’s next, Lord?” he will tell you. Then just do that and ask him again.“
