Alan Hirsch
Every Christian is a sent one. There is no such thing as an unsent Christian.
Alan Hirsch
There’s no such religious force in the West as powerful as consumerism.
Alan Hirsch
A retreatist spirituality is not a spirituality that can, or will, transform the world in Jesus's name.
Alan Hirsch
At some point preoccupation with safety can get in the way of living full lives.
Alan Hirsch
You can do more with 12 disciples than with 1,200 religious consumers.
Alan Hirsch
More data is not always the answer.
Alan Hirsch
There's no such thing as an unsent Christian. You have already been SENT.
