Missional is a word that seems more trendy than real. For me, it’s become more real than trendy.

Many pastors want their churches to be permanently and pervasively missional, but churches can’t be missional without multiplying disciples. Being missional is more than an occasional event to help the poor or practice friendship evangelism with a neighbor; it’s a body of people being equipped and unleashed to see the kingdom of God take root in a neighborhood, an agency, or a company. — Bob Roberts, Jr., Lessons from the East
