• Responsibility doesn’t depend on climate change

  
  [PAUL GLAVIC] — Authority: 122
  At some point, for Jesus-followers, the conversation of environmental stewardship ought to move beyond “Do you believe in climate change?” to “What is an appropriate relationship for us to have with all of creation?” I hear a lot of chatter from people who seem excited any time there is a finding that would ...

• A missional question worth asking

  
  [PAUL GLAVIC] — Authority: 122
  Shawn and I are in the process of sketching out a ministry plan for our faith community (which is less about us providing answers and more about offering questions that lead toward community-generated solutions). I finally lassoed our thoughts and discernment into a single question, one that I think is very much worth ...

• Roxburgh and Boren explain being missional for the right reasons

  
  [PAUL GLAVIC] — Authority: 122
  Introducing the Missional Church: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Become One by Alan J. Roxburgh and M. Scott Boren is the most comprehensive book on missionality to-date.  While there is no shortage of new works with “missional” in the title these days, many approach missionality as a growth model or ...

• Join Jesus as a struggling church-planter

• Eddie Gibbs on emergent-missional teaching

  
  [PAUL GLAVIC] — Authority: 122
  Loved this quote from Gibbs’ new book ChurchMorph , who has shown to be very even-handed in his assessment of emergents. Regarding teaching in these faith communities, he says: All the members [of emergent/missional communities] are earnestly seeking to become authentic followers of Christ. This entails, in the ...

• Finding my y-axis

  
  [PAUL GLAVIC] — Authority: 122
  Yesterday’s cross-country flight allowed me a few hours to reflect on what is (and isn’t) happening within Paradigm, and what I’m doing (or not) as a pastor to contribute to our community’s spiritual formation. Anyone who knows me well readily admits that I’m a perfectionist in several areas, and it leads me ...

• Missionality is rooted in a changed gospel — and that’s good news

  
  [PAUL GLAVIC] — Authority: 122
  Via Twitter I found a series of articles the Foursquare Church is doing on “The Missional Church.”  (Take a look at it here .) I like most of the article (and see Foursquare responding to our changing world fairly well, relative to other denominations), but I take slight issue with the article’s implication ...
