In the introduction of The Road to Missional Michael Frost pushes back on those who suggest that “missional” is simply the latest church buzzword that is quickly losing its usefulness. He writes: If the missional conversation is over, it occurs to me that it probably hasn’t really ever been had. That’s because “missional” is not [...]

The Faith of Leap From Hirsch & Frost
Posted: 17th May 2011 by Brad Brisco in Alan Hirsch, Books, Church, Gospel, Incarnational, Kingdom of God, Leadership, Michael Frost, Missiology, MissionalOver the past several years I have read every book that Alan Hirsch and Michael Frost have written individually and collectively. I have probably been most influenced by Hirsch’s “The Forgotten Ways“, Frost’s book titled “Exiles” and their collaborative work, “The Shaping of Things to Come.” Having just finished their latest book, “The Faith of [...]

I am very excited to share some details about a conference scheduled for this September here in Kansas City.

Michael Frost on Kingdom “Measuring Sticks”
Posted: 21st June 2010 by Brad Brisco in Church, Community Transformation, Ecclesiology, Gospel, Kingdom of God, Michael Frost, Missional, VideoI really like this short video of Michael Frost talking about the importance of developing new “measuring sticks” or “scorecards” for the church. He emphasizes the need to find new ways to measure where the rule/reign of God is flourishing. What sort of things can we “measure” that will illustrate evidence of the Kingdom? This [...]

In this latest video clip from Michael Frost he speaks to the self-preserving use of resources by the church in North America and how such use leads to an unbiblical separation from the “world.” In the clip Frost shares a great statement when he contends that, “Your missional effectiveness is directly proportional to your relational [...]
Missional & Priesthood of All Believers
Posted: 28th April 2010 by Brad Brisco in Books, Church, Ecclesiology, Michael Frost, MissionalWhen attempting to transition a “traditional” church in a more missional direction I believe one of the topics of discussion must be the importance of “the priesthood of all believers.” If we believe the church is God’s agent sent into the world to participate in what He is already doing, then every member must be [...]

The Importance of Understanding the Post-Christendom Shift
Posted: 7th April 2010 by Brad Brisco in Books, Culture, Forge, Michael Frost, Missional, Training, VideoI attended a half day conference yesterday that dealt with trends that were impacting the American church. It didn’t take long for me to become frustrated with the “list” of trends seeing that it did not include what I believe to be the most crucial “trend” to understand – that being the shift towards a [...]
