Focus on approaching the work of the church through a missiological lens, reframing and redeploying the ideas of Mission, Discipleship, and Vocation. (Note: A malfunction prevent us from getting quality video/audio recordings of our live sessions. So we’ve cobbled together some video, slides, and ambient audio. Thanks to some post-processing we’ve been able to save something for you to listen to again.)

Teachings

Formation or transformation happens whether we are intentional about it or not. The question is not, how do we change?, rather, how do we change into the kinds of people God created us to be and we long to be?

Reading & Other Resources:

• Video from RightNow Media entitled, I Am Just a Florist.

Teachings

A robust theology of vocation, calling and work helps us connect “formation” (who we are becoming) to “mission” (what God is up to in this world).
