In this episode of Strike the Match, my guest is Matthew Ellison, president of 16:15 and co-author (with Denny Spitters) of When Everything is Missions. When I read this book, my initial reaction was that every (yes, every) North American pastor should read this book in the next year.
What happens when everything the Church does is missions? According to Ellison, confusion exists and the Great Commission suffers. What happens when every Christ-follower is told, “You are a missionary?” Ellison says the Church gets sidetracked from taking the gospel to the nations.
Provocative? You bet! Definitions matter. You do not want to miss our conversation.
Matthew referenced some links and gave his email in this recording. Check them out below. Get the book. Read and apply.
