If the sending process begins with identification, what are we looking for? The Three Cs: character, calling, and competency. These categories are biblical and indispensable for assessing those you would send out into ministry.

We often procrastinate proclaiming the gospel, especially by delaying to out ourselves as Christians. The longer you wait to reveal your identity in Christ, the harder it becomes to pivot to the gospel. Be proactive, not reactive.

You were bought, made alive, drawn near, and collected into a people. You were made a citizen of a new kingdom, but it is a kingdom presently at war. We find ourselves in the time between the times, with a God-given mission in the midst of this war. This is the reality for every church leader.

Paul loved the church that is, not the church that ought to be. Yet, his love for the church that is calls it to be what it ought. He instructs, counsels, and corrects toward the biblical ideal, even while letting the church stand in its imperfections. This is our model.

How many churches are marked by a passion to intentionally fulfill their gospel ministry (especially that of evangelism) precisely where others are not? We often mark off Paul’s desire for doing ministry where Christ is not named as an “over there” thing, but it has something to say about our local mission here. #missiology #churchleadership #Evangelism #Missions

Ministry maps can bring clarity or confusion. More than once, regions and lists have done more to obscure or limit work than enable it. We can develop a self-imposed cage, where previously drawn boundaries conceal what is possible. We must revisit our maps regularly and ask hard questions.

Social media is not a neutral medium; it changes us. Companies intentionally manipulate our emotions for engagement. For Christians, this means uncritical use has unintended consequences. When vitriol is directed at fellow believers, we must ask how Christ's words in Matthew 7:1-5 stack up. We need hard dialogue, surrounded by Christian charity.

"Preaching the gospel to yourself" is a common phrase, often used in small groups. The statement is certainly true, but what does it mean? If we are not careful, it falls into the truism category. The idea, popularized by Jerry Bridges, is that the gospel is as much for believers as it is unbelievers.

The Church of the first Christian generation was a genuinely missionary Church. Alongside special workers, it counted on the anonymous unchronicled witness of all the faithful. Every Christian was a witness; where they were, a living faith and expanding community followed.

Fundraising is hard work, and few enjoy it. But few areas provide a temptation to compromise integrity like fundraising. Often, young church planters become dishonest about their commitment and cooperation to partners in order to receive money. This isn't about theological purity, but a critical integrity issue in practice.

A 1926 Japanese theologian observed: "Americans are great in building cities, railroads, improving breeds, inventing, and democracy. But not in Religion, as they themselves very well know." Does this century-old critique still resonate with how we approach ministry today?

That moment creates a spark and a passion for the Great Commission. But after seeing missionaries endure severe hardship, I’m convinced it takes more than passion to ground true perseverance. What truly lasts when the fire comes?
