“In order to develop a pioneering missional spirit.”

I found out the hard way that if we don’t disciple people, the culture sure will.

Go among the people. Don’t assume you know what church looks like.

Truth is narrow, but grace is wide.

Our point isn’t to make an examination of popular film but to illustrate that the yearning for a heroic adventure lies just beneath.

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

There’s no such thing as an unsent Christian. You have already been SENT.

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.

Journalism is not a profession, but a mission.
