Mission flows from Listening

There's lots of conversation these days about becoming "missional Christians." But, how does this actually happen. Where does the motivation and direction come from?

Hobby Chapin, a church planter in Brighton, CO (north of Denver) has discovered that teaching people to listen to God's voice is more effective than exhorting them to be missional. Most of the people in his house churches are involved with daily "churches of two". As they learn to listen, mission (church planting, evangelism, etc.) occurs spontaneously.

CO2's naturally result in "missional Christians."

Listen to Hobby's comments on this below...

  1. :teaching people to listen to God's voice is more effective than exhorting them to be missional" That line carries SO MUCH WEIGHT!! Who woulda thought that God is better at calling us to missions that people?! Funny how we always think it's about us. :)
