Oct 2, 2017

Has your missional community gotten stuck in a rut or become a “holy huddle” of mostly Christians hanging out once a week? Healthy things always grow… and multiply!
Today on the Lifeschool podcast, we’re gonna talk about bringing intentionality and multiplication into everything you do within your missional community.
Growth brings change. Everything God created has the seed of multiplication built into it: plants, animals, humans, families, communities, and even the Church. This in many ways is the storyline of the Bible. And it’s still happening today…
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
Get started here... We need to expect growth and multiplication to happen in our communities while letting everyone involved know that this is normal and good. And just like when our children leave home and become adults who start families of their own, there is a grieving process that rightfully occurs when we send “family members” off on mission to start new works.Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.
- The biblical pattern of growth and multiplication.
- How Jesus’ discipleship commands fulfill this same biblical pattern.
- The difference between “splitting” your community and multiplication.
- Ways to prepare your community for growth and sending off.
- How to talk about the change and grief associated with growth.
