We have been give a new identity in Christ because of the gospel. We are now part of God's family on mission, sent to serve our world and learn to walk in His ways. This four-part video curriculum deepens our understanding of this new identity, and how it reshapes the normal rhythms of our life.

Engaging in Stories
Engaging In Stories is a natural response to finishing The Story Formed Way. The story of God, and the Creation-Fall-Redemption-Restoration framework, shapes each of our own individual stories, and as each person shares their story, your MC family should be able to listen well and apply the gospel to one another.

The Four G’s
God is great so I don't have to be in control; God is glorious so I don't have to fear others; God is good so I don't have to look elsewhere; God is gracious so I don't have to prove myself. These four truths of God's character are foundational in our belief in the gospel and our rest in the finished work of Jesus.

Community
Called Together: A Guide to Forming Missional Communities
Called Together is a great starting place for a brand new or recently multiplied Missional Community, and can also be a good refresher for any MC that needs to be brought back to our gospel-community-mission foundation. (You can request the hard copy leader guides, and we've also created a handout to go along with them.)

Expectations in Missional Community
Everyone comes into community with expectations for others. But not all expectations are biblical (or even reasonable!). Based on the content of past MC Trainings, this resource is a greatly needed reminder for many people (including you!) in your MC families.

Generosity: Responding to God’s Radical Grace in Community
Radically ordinary generosity - with our money, time, homes, and other resources - is foundational to real Christianity. The gospel changes our hearts and causes us to be generous givers in all areas of life, and this study will help your MC grow as such givers!

The Relational & Healthy Soul
In recent years, we've utilized the Enneagram personality profile as a tool to help learn more about the ways God has created each person to relate to Himself and to other people. To help lead us in this, we had Rich Plass & Jim Cofield, authors of The Relational Soul join us two years in a row for special weekend conferences on becoming relationally healthy people. We're happy to provide video material from both these conferences, as well as a specific curriculum walking through the Enneagram itself.

Working ON Your MC
It can be easy to get lost in the work IN our MCs - the tasks and responsibilities that come with making disciples and holding MC gatherings. In this video from Pastor Justin, we learn to lead healthier MCs by working ON them by focusing on the vision and culture of our MCs.

Mission
Mission Drift
All things (people, businesses, organizations, and MCs) naturally drift from their main mission. This video resource from Pastor Justin helps us diagnose where and how our MCs have drifted, so that we can lead them back to our central gospel-community-mission DNA.

Post-It Note Night
We are missionaries. Mission isn't what we do - it's who we are. The Post-It Note Night helps your MC identify the people you're each on mission to, and what next steps might be as you grow relationships with those people and help them experience the gospel.
