One of the most often-asked questions we've gotten as The City Church gets up and running is "what does 'living on mission' look like practically?" It's a concept that sounds great in theory, but how do we actually put feet to it?To help answer, every Monday for the next several weeks I'll post some practical ideas for how you can live every day with "gospel intentionality." These are just example ideas; consider how you could tweak each to fit your life. As you do, I'd love your input, ideas, and creativity as well. If you have ideas for the list, email me or comment below, and I'll get them up here in the coming weeks*. Here's the first installment:
- Throw a block party.
- Serve good bar-b-que and good beer at that block party.
- Double date. Or triple date.
- If you know folks in a cycling club, buy a bike and join ‘em. You could probably use the exercise anyway, right?
- Know of a model car club? Buy a model car. Comic book club? You get the idea…
- Throw a Super Bowl Party in your home.
- Throw a Super Bowl Party at the local pub or bar.
- Grab lunch with a new co-worker.
- Even better for conversation and your own nervousness, grab lunch with two co-workers.
- Turn that lunch with a new co-worker into a monthly or weekly occurrence.
- Then invite that now not-so-new co-worker and their family to your home to for dinner.
[*Note: Some of these suggestions are original; some have been collected from others. In gratitude to them, and as an encouragement to you, I freely pass them along to copy, read, repost or otherwise use liberally. However, one reason for compiling this list is for an upcoming booklet/workbook, so I ask that you link back to this site if making any of it public, by including: "Ben Connelly, www.oneglory.org." Thanks!]
