• Cautiously Missional

  
  Already Not Yet — Authority: 430
  I like this from Todd Pruitt : “Missional” is a word that has come along in recent years with great excitement in many cases. Pastors, churches, and even seminaries have been bold to proclaim themselves “missional.” The problem is that it is a frustratingly slippery word. Brian MacLaren defines it one way ...

• Shed Happens

  
  neo-baptist — Authority: 110
  For a while after a spate of John Eldridge books came out I felt like the church cultural landscape may change to accomodate my manliness, and address my discomfort with the more effeminate aspects of church life, worship and culture.

• Missional Mondays: Tony Stiff 2

  
  Jesus Creed — Authority: 628
  Following the situational shift fresh reflection has been given to theology proper (ie the doctrine of God).
