It is vital to see ourselves as part of an ongoing journey started by our heroes in the Scriptures.
Alan Hirsch
Image
Nowadays we raise our children in a cocoon of domesticated security, far from any sense of risk or adventure.
Alan Hirsch
Image
Currently, young Christians reach adulthood bored with church experience, and with little or no sense of their calling as missionaries.
Alan Hirsch
Image
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
Image
Mission is the practical demonstration, whether by speech or by action, of the glorious lordship of Jesus.
Alan Hirsch

Alan Hirsch
Image
Unless the church is equipping believers to embrace the values and vision of the kingdom of God and turn away from the materialism, consumerism, greed, and power of the present age, it not only abandons its biblical mandate, it is rendered missionally ineffective.
Alan Hirsch
Image
Go among the people. Don't assume you know what church looks like.
Alan Hirsch
Image
We will have to take risks, to chance failure, to be willing to walk away from the familiar paths that have brought us to this point.
Alan Hirsch
Image
The kingdom of God is a crash-bang opera: the king is dramatic, demanding, and unavoidable.
Alan Hirsch
Image
You plant the gospel. You don't plant churches.
Alan Hirsch
Image
You can do more with 12 disciples than with 1,200 religious consumers.
Alan Hirsch
Image
At some point preoccupation with safety can get in the way of living full lives.
Alan Hirsch
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Our preferences for stability and security blind us to the opportunities for adventure when they present themselves.
Alan Hirsch
