In today's episode, Dr. Russell interviews the missional thinker and practitioner Dr. Michael Beck.
Through his work as a missional catalyst, Beck is on the leading edge of helping the church to relearn what it takes to embrace the mission of God in their local contexts. He discusses contextual intelligences as a strategy for leading new or aging churches to embrace mission. We also dig deeply into the formational practices for embodying a missional holiness.
