It's good to hear from you. These ideas are things we struggle with and these desires to live more missional led us to de-centralize many of the ways we express being the church. We see what programs can we remove and move people to living on mission in community to be a gospel hermeneutic to the watching world around. Instead of mercy ministry programs or evangelism programs we try to instill the identity of what it means to be a Christ follower and how this identity leads us to new patterns in life. We still have much to learn in this area. We've been blessed by the Crowded House (and their book Total Church) and Soma (where I'm going to their Soma School next week) as we unpack this more. In August we also will have a conference with these two church communities here in San Diego that will dive into this a great deal. Thanks for your comment David. It’s good to hear from you.

I haven't spoken with you in a while so I wanted to say hello and also thank you for this post and the last one with the quote from Michael Goheen. I'm putting the book on my Amazon wishlist right away. And that quote about the fact that we have to have evangelism programs because people don't ask us about the hope we have in us has me pretty rattled - in a good way. I agree wholeheartedly, what to do about it proves to be quite the practical conundrum. I'm not sure that most of us can think outside of the program mentality. I want to, but even with that being the case, it's still difficult to think of how to deal with it without defaulting back to the programs. Hey Drew – David Wayne, the jollyblogger checking in.
