Missional Monday - a checklist

Trevin Wax has pointed to a helpful list from Jason Dukes.

Are You Missional? 10 Diagnostic Questions -- Trevin Wax

Below is a summary of that list with some great and challenging thoughts to help evaluate our mindset:

1. When you speak of church, what prepositions do you use?
2. When you think of missions, do you think of a mission trip to a distant city and a service project in your own community or do you think about daily life among your family, neighbors, and coworkers?
3. What is your common declaration about lost people around you? "Can you believe the way those people act?" OR "When can you come over for dinner?"
4. Is my tendency to disengage from culture and retreat into safer, more Christian environments? Or is it to engage culture even amidst discomfort and danger?
5. When you hear "make disciples," do you think of a classroom or your relationships?
6. Do you spend a lot of time wondering whether you should quit your job to surrender to ministry? Or do you simply live to minister to anyone and everyone where you are currently?
7. When you think of a friend who needs help, do you think, "I need to get him to see the pastor" OR "I wonder what I can do to help"?
8. When you think of heaven, do you think "kingdom come" or "kingdom is here"?
9. Do you think godliness is measured with a mirror or within community?
10. Do you have a lost friend who would actually introduce you as his or her friend?
