Missionally Speaking

Have you heard this word: "missional?"

In the last year, I've heard it a lot--even read a book or two with it in the title, but I'm not always sure what it means. It seems to mean different things to different people (almost always good). Both the church planting pastor of the church we visited last weekend and the speaker at our retreat this most recent weekend used it some.

This recent 9Marks article gives some background for the word and a few helpful things to think about when using it, too. And this article fleshes out what it looks like in someone's life.
