A Great Reminder from Mike King

Mike is at Biblical Seminary outside Philly (the same Biblical I'll be teaching a 3 course youth ministry certificate starting this fall) and he's in a conversations with John Franke and Alan Roxburgh and they are talking about Missional Theology.

Money Quote:

The reality is that being Missional is first and foremost about God. This is not the Churches Mission, it is God's Mission missio dei. John Franke dealt with the most important question for those hoping to embrace a missional way of life, a missional church. The question is, "Who is God?" We focused on the Trinity and entered into a discussion on the Eastern view that God is social not solitary. God is love and God is radical sociality. The Trinity - God is one by virtue of their interdependent sociality. Alan states that it is essential to start with the "Who is God?" question instead of the common mistake of hyper-focusing first and almost exclusively on ecclesiology.
