Last week my wife and I had the privilege of gathering with our brethren in the Acts 29 church planting network for a few days of refreshment, renewal, and conversation. When A29 guys and their wives get together, the conversations are always the best part. Lots of bantering about theology, missiology, contextualization, culture, and church planting.
One of the best topics of conversation this year was about the word “missional,” which has been co-opted by everyone as the cool new word in Christianity. Dr. Ed Stetzerhere – it will give you a whole new lens for thinking about what church should (and shouldn’t) be. guided us through a semantic history of the word. That led my friend David Fairchild, pastor of Kaleo Church in San Diego, to post a very insightful blog about the 3 common errors churches fall into by failing to be appropriately nuanced in their understanding of the gospel.
