Life, much like a well-played game, is full of challenges. Some are exhilarating, some are daunting, but all offer an opportunity for growth and transformation. At Missional Challenge, this spirit of engaging with life’s profound quests is at the very heart of their mission. They invite individuals to embark on a 31-day journey, a daily commitment to reorienting one’s life around a greater purpose, spreading the Gospel, and fostering a vibrant community that extends beyond the walls of a traditional church.

Imagine life as a grand adventure, where each day presents a new “challenge” to embrace. Missional Challenge encourages its followers to see themselves as active participants in this adventure, not just spectators. It’s about living intentionally, striving for spiritual growth, and taking on leadership roles within your sphere of influence. Their blog, a rich repository of wisdom, delves into topics like the “missional church,” spiritual development, and how to “live like Christ in culture.” It’s a call to action, an invitation to step out of your comfort zone and truly make a difference in the world.

This commitment to active engagement and purposeful living resonates deeply with the human spirit. We are inherently wired for challenge, for striving towards something greater. Think of the excitement of a new endeavor, the satisfaction of overcoming an obstacle, or the joy of seeing your efforts bear fruit. It’s in these moments that we feel most alive, most connected to our purpose.

The pursuit of purpose is not always easy. It requires dedication, resilience, and a willingness to step into the unknown. But the rewards are immeasurable: a sense of fulfillment, a deeper connection to your faith, and the joy of contributing to something larger than yourself.

Just as a comprehensive guide helps navigate the complex world of online activities, Missional Challenge provides a roadmap for navigating the journey of faith and purpose. It offers coaching and support for leaders, equipping them with the tools and insights needed to implement a missional approach within their lives and churches. This commitment to guidance and empowerment highlights the proactive and positive nature of their work.

In a world that often pulls us in countless directions, Missional Challenge offers a refreshing perspective: a clear call to action, a path towards living with intention, and a community of support to help you along the way. It’s about more than just belief; it’s about living that belief every single day, embracing the challenges, and finding joy in the journey.

Today's Highlight: Authenticity | missionalchallenge.com

I’ve had the amazing privilege to work with a great group of leaders for the past two days. At the end of each day we take turns sharing our highlights of each day over an amazing meal together around a full table. It was a blessing to hear each person share from the heart something that was meaningful to them from our day’s activities.

Reducing Body Fat (Part 1) |

Yesterday I entered the Golds Gym Challenge at our local Golds in Issaquah. It’s an opportunity to “transform your body in just 12 weeks.”
The first step was to take “before” photos and weigh in and be measured. The most interesting measurement to me was my percentage of body fat.

Cultivating Movements | missionalchallenge.com

It’s great to be in Southern California for a new project! I’m launching a Missional Movement Leaders Network this month with the Missionary Church Western Region. The focus of this network is to partner together toward the advancement of disciplemaking and church planting movements.

There are a lot of advantages to not being well known when you are starting a new church. You have a lot of freedom to experiment and take risks. Fried and Hansson describe the benefits of obscurity in their book Rework. I think their points are well applied to church planters.
