More quotes by Alan Hirsch
Interestingly, it's as though the gospel story of Jesus is the archetypal heroic journey, the embodiment of the very adventure that all people in every epoch have desired.
Alan Hirsch
The appetite for adventure and risk is not exclusive to young Christians. In face, it seems to be a fundamental yearning, knitted into the fabric of the human soul.
Alan Hirsch
The missional church is not a new trend or the latest new technique for reaching postmodern people.
Alan Hirsch
Most churches don't have the resources for these tricks and inducements but are still bound to the imagination that church happens on a Sunday in a building.
Alan Hirsch
Whether we like it or not, we are all on a journey, a Quest if you will, every day of our lives, and the path we must take is full of perils, and our destiny can never be predicted in advance.
Alan Hirsch
Every Christian is a sent one. There is no such thing as an unsent Christian.
Alan Hirsch
It is vital to see ourselves as part of an ongoing journey started by our heroes in the Scriptures.
Alan Hirsch
Heroes are important not only because they symbolize what we believe to be important, but because they also convey universal truths about personal self-discovery and self-transcendence, one's role in society, and the relation between the two.
Alan Hirsch
More data is not always the answer.
Alan Hirsch
You plant the gospel. You don't plant churches.
Alan Hirsch
At some point preoccupation with safety can get in the way of living full lives.
Alan Hirsch
Currently, young Christians reach adulthood bored with church experience, and with little or no sense of their calling as missionaries.
Alan Hirsch
If we could be freed from our aversion to loss, our whole outlook on risk would change.
Alan Hirsch
Mission is the practical demonstration, whether by speech or by action, of the glorious lordship of Jesus.
Alan Hirsch
A missional theology...appl ies to the whole of life of every believer. Every disciple is to be an agent of the kingdom of God, and every disciple is to carry the mission of God into every sphere of life. We are all missionaries sent into a non-Christian culture.
Alan Hirsch
Judgments about who belongs in the Hall of Fame are extremely subjective.
Alan Hirsch
Go among the people. Don't assume you know what church looks like.
Alan Hirsch
Truth is narrow, but grace is wide.
Alan Hirsch
Our point isn't to make an examination of popular film but to illustrate that the yearning for a heroic adventure lies just beneath the surface of our consciousness film, television, literature, sports, and travel are in a sense vicarious adventures.
Alan Hirsch
A retreatist spirituality is not a spirituality that can, or will, transform the world in Jesus's name.
Alan Hirsch
