We begin the conversation of Missional Communities and what they might look like in our lives as a part of our everyday. Missional Communities are simply a group of people who gather together, encourage one another, pray for each other, break bread together and serve together. It is a group that is small enough to care yet big enough to dare. Who do you gather with and do you have a mission? This episode and the ones to follow will tackle this topic and hopefully you'll be inspired to ask these questions of yourself and the people you gather with. Share with us your (Kingdom Story) and/or your Missional Community idea @ formjourney.com

A part of Reproducible discipleship is looking back on the timeline of our lives and honestly assessing what we have encountered, where we have been and how God has shown up on the mountaintops and the valleys. We encourage you to do this exercise along with us, here are the instructions: Draw a line down the middle of the paper. Above the line write positive critical incidents in chronological order. Below the line write negative critical incidents in chronological order. Critical incidents are any events, people, relationships, situations, books, movies, choices, etc. that have significantly influenced your life and your journey with God. After completing your timeline use these questions to help you reflect and process your timeline: What are the significant events that shaped who I am today? What situations in your story were you most aware of God's action in your life? What is a relationship(s) that affected your spirituality positively, and how? What is the relationship that caused you to feel distanced from God? What fears have shaped my story? Which still do? What were the "mountain tops" or highlights of my spiritual life? What have been the "valleys" or dark times of my spiritual life? Share your Kingdom Stories with us @formjourney.com
Living a life on mission is about a change of perspective on what you are already doing rather than a change of what you are actually doing. A simple definition of missional living would be: Life on mission means you are paying attention to movement of an extraordinary God in the midst of all your every day ordinary spaces. Living missional means you are always asking the question, "God, what are you doing?" in my workplace, my family, my school, my neighborhood, my favorite coffee shop? This is a major shift of our mindset but a shift worth pursuing. Join us as we dive in to what it looks like to live on mission with God and each other. For more information, go to formjourney.com
