What Missional Community Could Look Like

A great story of how to go about sharing your faith in community from Seth McBee.  His conclusion:

I’m no saint. I’m nothing special. I’m not paid by the church. I’m not paid by by community. But, God pays me money through my business, not to hoard it, but so I can be making disciples who make disciples in the neigbhborhood I live in.

This story isn’t crazy. This story isn’t outlandish. It’s pretty normal. My family is pretty normal. That’s the beauty of it. I will also say that this is a small taste of what has been happening in our neighborhood and also in our own spiritual development. You’ll notice as you live this out, that life, as usual, isn’t perfect. There are times of much difficulty and, as a dude in our MC put it, “You only get really irritated with people if you actually get to know them. It’s hard to get irritated at others if you merely wave at them when putting your garbage at the curb.”

If you’re reading this, what is holding you back from going to your knees tonight and just asking God, “what’s next?” But, be careful, because once you let this Lion of Judah out of the cage, he’ll take over the neighborhood.
