Jonathan Dodson helps to remind us that living a missional life is not rocket science. In his post titled “8 Ways to Easily Be Missional” he encourages us to invite others into daily activities that we already do.
As I read Jonathan’s post I was once again reminded of one of my favorite quotes by Eugene Peterson’s: “The way of Jesus is always local and ordinary.”
I liked that post too. Our core team has been discussing the same thing: simple gospel intentionality.
Hey, Brad–
“The way of Jesus is always local and ordinary”–that is indeed a great quote. Where does Peterson offer it?
Josh, I think it is probably found in one of his many writings, but I heard him make that statement in a talk he gave from a conference I have on cd. Unfortunately, right now I don’t have the cds in front of me and I can’t remember which conference it was. I will try to find the cd and let you know.
