Lee spoke at a local Omaha church this month. If you know Lee, he really enjoys speaking; it’s very life-giving for him, and he does a great job communicating in front of large crowds. The purpose of his talk was to train church members how to live on mission, even though their vocation is not in the “ministry” field. He used the Cru resource: Called to Kingdom Living.

This resource identifies 5 things to help individuals live a life of intentionality in light of God’s Kingdom:
Kingdom Vision: seeing how you fit into God’s big picture
Team: a group of 2+ people with a purpose
Plan: thoughtful steps to advance God’s love through purposeful action
Ongoing Equipping: continual outside input; ongoing education
Coach: someone to walk you through the process

Seeing people have a desire to live a life on mission is exciting and encouraging. Getting started, stepping out of our comfort zone, and trusting the Lord isn’t always easy, but the results are immeasurable.
