Has your missional community gotten stuck in a rut or become a “holy huddle” of mostly Christians hanging out once a week? Healthy things always grow… and multiply!
Today on the Lifeschool podcast, we’re gonna talk about bringing intentionality and multiplication into everything you do within your missional community.
“That’s how my parents did things and I turned out just fine…” Today on Lifeschool, we look at a few radically different parenting styles. We’ll reveal that while you might be well-intentioned, your parenting style may not be producing the type of outcomes in your children’s life and heart that you ultimately desire.
Kids are great! But sometimes when it comes to having a bunch of them at all different ages corralled together, things can feel hectic and distracted. One of the most common questions we hear connected to this is, “what do you do with kids in your missional community? How do you handle them, what types of activities do you do for them etc.?” In this episode of Lifeschool we’ll help you solve this and give you a bunch of ideas on how to include your kids on mission.

Here is my suggested Top 20 Missional Books List…right now. By the way…I see everything as mission! I could have listed a lot more in each category, but these will keep you busy for a while. Some are classics; some are newer on my list.
I am not 100% in agreement with every word in every book. But I have found all of these to be informative, challenging and very helpful in causing me to think and consider new ways of “being” and living. These books are not all by Christian authors; don’t let that hinder your mining for gold here.
I have put these books under categories of life and growth that are important to me, and maybe you too. I try to read a new book in each category every year. (more…)
