1. Instilling Missional Habits in a Congregation - As You Walk Among Your Community
- reject doing outreach events; instead direct imagination towards ways of connecting with people where they are
- reject evangelism as a one time hit on a target with a preconceived outcome; instead kindle imagination toward seeing mission as part of regular rhythms of life with others
- reject building multiple use buildings; instead go into gyms (and such) already in neighborhoods
- reject one-on-one evangelism; instead inhabit more in two's or three's
- reject the Sunday morning gathering as an evangelistic event; instead seek formation that comes from a communal encounter with God
- reject coercive persuasion and argument in our witness; instead seek "one person of peace" among the lost
- reject presumptuous postures of power among those who do not know Christ; instead enter in humility
- reject surveying the neighborhood; instead exegete the neighborhood
- reject problem solving; instead direct the imagination towards "appreciative inquiry"
- Faith
- Discernment
- Presence
- Patience
- Resourcefulness
- Humility
- Love
