For several Mondays this fall, I'm posting some practical ideas to help answer the question "what does 'living on mission' look like every day?" These are just example ideas to hep you live with "gospel intentionality"; 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 this week's list:
- Find one local coffee shop and make it “yours” – get to know the baristas and the “regulars” (the customers who are there all the time).
- Even better, apply the “coffee shop concept” to a local pub or bar.
- Better still, make sure you go to that coffee shop on Sunday mornings, when most church-going folks are at church. Then you know your mission field.
- Do your work in a regular public place (after all, free wi-fi is everywhere), rather than by yourself in your home or office.
- College football happens every Saturday in the fall. Pro football on Sundays and Monday nights. If you don’t already have one, pick a favorite team and have folks over to watch games – rivalries are always a blast!
- The same principle applies to all other sports too – learn to love basketball, baseball, NASCAR, or gymnastics!
- Join your neighborhood association.
- Actually go to meetings and events in your neighborhood association.
- Thinking about Halloween next week: stay in and give candy and encouragement to kids, and to parents too.
- As you build relationships, create a safe place/party for kids to trick-or-treat in your neighborhood.
