As you know, if you have been a Christian for very long at all, new words, terms and phrases are popping up all the time. One term that has become very popular in Evangelical circles is the term, “Missional”. But what exactly does this term mean?
Kevin DeYoung, author and Senior Pastor at University Reformed Church in East Lansing, Michigan, has written a series of blog posts on this subject entitled, "Missional Misfire". His comments about being missional are written in light of his critique of the book "Missional Renaissance: Changing the Scorecard for the Church” by Reggie McNeal.
Although Kevin has been on the program a few times, he is very busy (pastoring, writing and speaking) so I did not even try to get him to come on the program today to discuss these posts. Rather, on today's program I would simply like to comment on and discuss what he wrote.
