descriptions
A Tale of Two
Gospels:
This message contrasts
what Dallas Willard has called "the gospel of sin management" with "the
gospel of the kingdom." It presents a missional understanding of the
gospel that has far-reaching transformative power for our churches and for
individual Christians.
Spiritual Formation in the Emerging Culture:
As a follow-up
to "A Tale of Two Gospels," this presentation explores the idea of
becoming "apprentices of Jesus." It presents disciple-making as the point
of the Great Commission in a challenging and imaginative way.
Public Worship as Spiritual Formation:
This presentation
explores such concepts as "ancient-future worship," the meaning of ritual,
liturgy as group spiritual formation, and leadership as exposure to
"masters of practice," to help leaders plan and lead public worship more
effectively - with the goal of authentic spiritual formation in mind.
Global Mission in the Postmodern World:
As a former mission
agency board chair, as a grandson of pioneer African missionaries, and as
someone who travels extensively and works closely with missionaries and
missiologists, Brian has a unique perspective on the history of missions
and the challenges facing global mission today. This session integrates
his own thinking with that of Lesslie Newbigin, David Bosch, and others.
More Ready Than
You Realize: Evangelism in the Emerging Culture:
This presentation, based on one of Brian's most
popular books, uses a real-life email conversation to help people
understand the questions, objections, fears, and needs of people in the
emerging culture. This is one of Brian's most popular presentations.
