I really like Dave.
I trust him and believe in his vision. I read what he's written and I value his friendship. What he's accomplishing for the mission of Christ is remarkable.
His NewThing Network is an avant-garde movement of reproducing churches.
His recent book (co-authored with Jon Ferguson) is titled EXPONENTIAL: How You and Your Friends Can Start a Missional Church Movement. It'll change how you think. It might change how you live.
Dave inspired the crowds at the AND Conference this afternoon. I've copied a few highlights from his talk.
- There is a "missional impulse" permeating the church!
- Missional People + Multiplying Churches = Missional Movement
- How do we create a "missional culture" for a "missional movement?"
Three ways:
1.) Ordain every Christ-follower.
2.) Lead with a "YES!" As leaders. We've got to develop a "YES!" reflex.
3.) Make Heroes of Everyday People. - Generosity is like a muscle; the more you exercise that muscle, the stronger the generosity.
1 Peter 2:9 - But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
