Was the whole “missional” thing just a passing church fad, or is there really something more to it? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll define it for you–what it is and is not–and why it still scares a lot of pastors today. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

Where the term missional comes from, and a true definition (from the Bible).
Is being a missional church a new or old thing?
Why this scares A LOT of pastors and elders to death!
Steps to take to begin to move your church or community toward an abundant missional life and ministry.

From this episode: "Discipleship is the process of moving from unbelief to belief in every area of life. So guess what? That would mean that we would have to be engaging people in every area of their lives. There's no way to do that sitting in rows. and hearing a 30 45 minute message. We can speak about certain things, but we can't engage and help people necessarily move from unbelief to belief in every area of their life if we're not seeing and touching and getting a pulse on engaging every area of life."
