Missio Dei —
Authority: 512
I wonder if someone ever said to Isaiah or Jeremiah, “How dare you criticize the what we’re doing!” I’m serious.

Church Planting Novice —
Authority: 467
Despite the preponderance of missional church resources, American Christians are slow to live missionally. Why is this? In our last post, we suggested that one reason is that we are motivating the church with best practices of mission, instead of an identity of mission grounded in the Missio Dei.

Do you ever struggle in motivation for mission? Do you ever see your people lacking in motivation for mission?
