What does it look like to live life on mission?

  • Taking time and making time in real time.

1.) Slow down

  • Taking time
  • Learn to be present to God and present to people.
  • Taking the time to see what the need/opportunity (problem) is.

2.) Show up

  • Making time
  • Power of presence; the atmosphere you carry.
  • “It is not what a man does that is of final importance, but what he is in what he does. The atmosphere produced by a man, much more than his activities, has the lasting influence” ~ Oswald chambers
  • Making someone else’s problem your problem, making someone else’s need your need.

3.) Step out

  • Real time
  • Speak something, give something, touch someone.
