Strategic Spirituality - Todd Hunter

The tag line of the Off the Map Live conference this week is Hear, Listen, Connect. Todd Hunter just came and lead a session speaking on how a strategy of listening or being “missional” must not be disconnected from a personal and corporate lifestyle of spiritual formation.

Here is a quote:

“Spiritual Formation is not something you just add to an already busy and overwhelmed life. Spiritual Formation is a way of rethinking your life that brings meaning and mission to your life.”

I think what he is saying is that we can’t just let the new realizations of how we as Christians need to interact with our world be a strategy, trend or method. We must realize the changes that these new realizations require of us need to be applied to our person and being.

Instead of employing a “listening tactic” with an unbelieving friend, I need to become a good listener. Instead of organizing programs to be more “missional”, I need to personally allow myself to be “sent” out to the people in MY life and the community I live in.
