Creating a Missional Culture: Equipping the Church for the Sake of the World, JR Woodward (InterVarsity Press) $ 16.00
Churches that are serious about carrying forward God mission,expressed definitively in the life, and teaching of Jesus, have a serious challenge in this post-Christian age. Are churches really shaping people who live in concrete ways that are distinct from the wider culture or are they merely providing a kind of Christian veneer to an otherwise unchallenged consumer capitalist culture? JR Woodward, in his new book, Creating a Missional Culture, says that the practice of church leadership has a important but often neglected role to play in the way a missional culture either is or isn’t developed in local churches. Hillhurst Review Editor, Ryan Bell, spoke with JR about his new book in this first ever Hillhurst Review Podcast.
