"Missional Misstep: Emphasizing the big gospel can make it hard to communicate any gospel"
David Fitch

http://www.christiani...

I thought it was good, and a topic we regularly get to, so bring it up if you want. I especially like the last paragraph:

"We at Life on the Vine have yet to arrive at this elusive evangelistic tool. We continue to navigate Guder's 'challenge of reductionism' for our context. It is still as busy as ever here, and the gospel should not be minimized to fit the suburbs' maddening pace. Yet loving our neighbors will mean a constant journey back and forth between big and small: from the bigness of God's work to translating it for our neighbors to bringing them back into this grand mission all over again. Call it missional commuting: a daily journey between worlds. Fortunately, unlike so many single-driver car trips, it's a journey our whole church—this unlikely family that's being grafted into God's mission—can take together."

See you all soon!

Pax,
