I have been thinking about church a lot lately and thinking are we too busy doing the wrong stuff?

Letting Go of the Fear of Failure

Phil — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:37:42 +0000

The fear of failure paralyzes too many people.

I’ve found one of the best gifts God can give a leader is the gift of failure.

Too many of us are not doing what we feel called to do because we’re afraid to fail.

As I observe the people around me, it seems the most effective have failed far more times than the least effective.

The people making the biggest impact seem to:

1) Try something outlandish.

2) Fail.

3) Learn.

4) Adjust.

5) Try something that works better.

Failure is never final. It is often the first step to success.

If you haven’t failed in awhile, why don’t you try something crazy and see what happens.

Here are two video clips on Missional church. The first is a clip from Tim Keller, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian in NYC, talking about the characteristics of a Missional Church. The second is Michael Frost an Australian missiologist and one of the leading voices in the international missional church movement. In the clip below Frost gives a definition of Missional.
