What is a missional church?

Ryan Bolger, who has written some things with Bert's professor Eddie Gibbs, shares some thoughts on missional church with Alan Roxburgh. He talks about attractional (come to us) vs missional (go and embody/indwell) and mentions Constantinianism, Christendom (a Western cultural expectation of going to church), what Jesus thought about church (Q: What would it look like if your church looked like Jesus's church?) and the early church.

Ryan says, "Students don't know the waters they are swimming in," in reference to both modernism and how they come to Scripture. This is actually a brilliant interview and there's so much good stuff here! The problem is that it's a 119MB download (!) so I'll save it and bring it to our next meeting.

"The church discovers its true identity and its best identity when its working within the Kingdom."
