This submission to the threshold of a cross is at the very root of our following Jesus; it changes the game completely. - Alan Hirsch

This is why we are on record claiming that the missional conversation — refactoring mission back into the equation of church — contains the seeds of authenticity and renewal for Christianity in our time and place.

Most churches don’t have the resources for these tricks and inducements but are still bound to the imagination that church happens on a Sunday in a building.
