465 I'm a Believer Now, What's Next? Mission

How should we define and describe Christian mission? Across recent American history Evangelicals would answer that by saying, "go be a pastor," or "go overseas and be a missionary." Those are great callings, but what about the ordinary people? What is God's mission for them? In this rolling conversation Mark and I unpack the original God-given mission in Genesis. God's goals involved the entirety of the planet earth, blessing all creation, and building culture. But Evangelicals not only are not interested in culture, they positively hate thinking about culture and its effects. Even more, we talk about how the original Edenic mission will be our very mission in resurrection life, the Eschaton. Come think, meditated, and laugh with me and Mark about a critical topic.
