This practical guide is written for those who want to start living an intentionally missional lifestyle with others. It is divided into seven parts, called Stepping Stones. Learning to live a lifestyle of everyday mission is like crossing a stream by stepping on one stone at a time to get to the other side. This is the journey we are on, and we invite you to join us.
Each Stepping Stone in the book is made up of several chapters which offer concrete biblical principles based on the Way of Jesus. Each chapter includes insightful teaching and practical tools, along with discussion questions and exercises for you to complete. If you want to consistently do mission in your everyday life, let the Stepping Stones of this book guide you. See you on the other side!
