- Being missional means that the church sees itself as being missionaries, rather than having a missions department, and that we see ourselves as missionaries right where we live.
- Being missional means that we see ourselves as representatives of Jesus “sent” into our communities, and that the church aligns everything it does with the mission dei (mission of God).
- Being missional means we see the church not as a place we go only on Sunday, but as something we are throughout the week.
- Being missional means we understand we don’t “bring Jesus” to people but that we realize Jesus is active in our culture and we join him in what he is doing.
- Being missional means we are very much in the world and engaged in culture but are not conforming to the world.
- Being missional means we serve our communities, and that we build relationships with the people in them, rather than seeing them as evangelistic targets.
- Being missional means being all the more dependent on Jesus and the Spirit through prayer, the Scriptures, and each other in community.

Road Trip to New Jersey
Posted by lucasparry on May 28th, 2008Over the Memorial Day weekend we travelled up to NJ and PA for some shows and to spend time with friends and family. Jody grew up in NJ and my sister now lives in PA, so its always fun to go up north to visit them. We don’t mind the drive either because Jody and I have the chance to listen to two or three books on MP3. This journey we listened to three books…. two fiction (The God Project -John Saul and The Eighth Day- John Case) and one non fiction (Bad Samaritans - Ha-Joon Chang, <an interesting perspective on global capitalism, a great read!>)....

Shane Claiborne - The Irresistible Revolution
Posted by lucasparry on May 16th, 2008I just stumbled upon this little book review by Brian Jackson on his blog Understanding The Poem - Usually book reviews are long and the reviewer is really reviewing because they think they have something profound to say….. or they simply like to see their own thoughts in print. However, Brian has done a great job on this review….. short, sweet and to the point! ... More

Final Cut
Posted by lucasparry on April 28th, 2008For the past week I’ve buried my head into learning how to use a video program called ‘Final Cut’. Anyone ever tried to use it? Let me tell you, it has a HUGE learning curve! It helped that I can run audio programs like Protools, Logic and whatnot- some of the elements were the same, however, I had a whole new interface to learn, terminology to master and then pages of manuals to read and experiment with. All that said….. after a week of doing and re-doing, I think I have a small grasp on the ins and outs. By no means will I quit my day job, but I think I managed an OK promo video.... More
