is everything missions? are we all missionaries?

How does your church do missions? What do you think about missions? are you a missionary, or missions oriented, or missional? in  their small book, When Everything Is Missions by Denny Spitters and Matthew Ellison (Bottom Line Media, 2017) the authors make a compelling case for understanding what God (through the Bible) says about missions, before trying to attach or claim a label--either for yourself of for someone else.

Certainly gives me food for thought, as I try to lead a church into a next season of thinking about missions. 
the 'Great Commission' of Matt 28:19-20 is repeated frequently in our local churches today, but very few people in those churches are aware of the other sending passages, or the fact that God didn't suddenly decide while Jesus was in the tomb that he should think about telling a dozen men to go spread the news. The mission mandate has been around since the Old Testament times. 
Confused about the role you and your church should be playing in the mandate to make disciples of all nations? Read this book!
