Guest Post – Being Missional

Guest Post by Missional Max, who is a radical church
planter into all things Missional:

Struggling to get on board with God’s mission? Find it
hard to take opportunities to speak about the radical kingdom? Haven’t brought anyone
to Christ in the last 3 days? Fed up with tradition? Want to live everyday,
simply, purely and radically for the gospel and community (man, how has the
church missed this for 2,000 years!!).

I’m going to give you some mind blowing tips that will
change your life and make you truly Missional.

Let me give you my first set of top tips:

1.      Buy a dog

2.      Talk to
your dog at home

3.      Take your
dog for a walk

4.      Whilst on
your walk talk to other peoples’ dogs

5.      The owners
of the other dogs will talk to your dog

6.      You talk to
the owner of the dog through their dog

7.      Make sure
you walk in the same park every day, at the same time, in the same place so you
get to know the dogs. (Absolutely essential for being missional – get rhythm into your life)

8.      Pray for
opportunities for your dog; that it would be a friendly dog and intentionally
speak to other dogs about the gospel. Pray for opportunities for you with other dogs.

9.      You are now
walking the dog ”missionally”. Never, ever think you’re just walking the dog.
You’re doing something much more significant than that. You’re walking the dog
”missionally”. You can apply this to every area of life, no matter how
ridiculous.
