Living Sent Part VI

by Landon Reesor

So how do we change that?  What would it look like if we began to live “sent”?

What would our prayer experience be like if began to pray “sent”?  How would our giving be different is we allowed a “sent” mentality to infuse itself into our generosity?  How would our interactions with our family, our neighbors, our co-workers and unreached people groups around the world be changed and altered if we lived everyday “sent”?

I’m convinced that we would pray with the bigger world and more global, others-centered needs at the core of our conversations with God.  I’m confident that we would readjust the way we spend our money and be far more strategic and sacrificial in the way we release our resources.  And I know that we would become much more intentional with the relationships that God has sovereignly placed in our lives and we would begin to look for ways to increase our circle of influence to expose more people, both locally and globally, to the life-changing, hope-creating, freedom-offering Jesus story.

That’s the life I want to live.  That’s the life I want my family to experience.  That’s the kind of missional journey I want our church to take.  That’s what it means to live “sent”.
