This is a blessing to here, because at this point in my life my only desire is to be rooted and planted in the community, church, family, and with a husband that the Lord desires. To begin learning how in Christ to be accountable, love, and serve all these precious things that He puts around me.

Don’t know how I missed this when it was posted, but just read it on Christine Sine’s blog and SO FULLY AGREE. We absolutely must start “embodying the Gospel in the communities GOD has placed us in” if we want the church to thrive.

Hope y’all can come see us soon and check out what we’re trying to do here.

peace.

Steven: I totally agree. I think our physical rootlessness is a reflection of our inward loss of identity- which I think stems from our desire to be ‘autonomous’ – not needing GOD, family or community – when in reality “it’s not good for man to be alone”. We are “lost” on a multitude of levels.

Our book list is reflective of the conversation here which draws heavily on the mashup of Wendell Berry’s writings and the missional church impulse. I look forward to hearing more about your interest in the two. -shalom!

Good stuff… I can’t help but think our physical wanderlust is connected to a deeper spiritual reality; we don’t know who we are, or what we were made for. Unfortunately the people who are supposed to be helping us plumb the depths of those questions, often try to answer them with cliches, or avoid them by meeting our consumeristic demands.

PS Can’t help noticing your book list… Wendell Berry and a bunch of missional authors…

Caramelauren: Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence until we learn to be rooted and grounded where GOD has placed us. Keep on being rooted and grounded! -shalom!
