Missio on Loving the City: So Heavenly Minded as to be Earthly Useful

Kayla Burgess | 4 min read

I’ve always been a black-and-white, all-or-nothing thinker, which for the most part has not served me well — because most of life is lived and figured out in the gray areas. If I didn’t get an A on that assignment in college, then I failed. The cake I baked fell a little in the oven,...

Eric Peterman | 3 min read

Exile was a concept directly familiar to Israelites. Israel, though Abraham, Moses, and David, was given many promises. The Lord would bless and uphold his people.

Missio on Generosity: Vocational Clout for the Common Good

Luke Bobo | 3 min read

I participated in my very first “Locked In Solidarity” (LIS) on Thursday, February 11, 2016 (see #LIS16). LIS is a national prayer vigil for the mass incarcerated. Nearly forty people met in a small downtown Christ Community Church (Kansas City, MO) to lament our broken criminal justice system and to pray for a powerful move...
