One of my favorite "paradigm shift" books is Hugh Halter's, Tangible Kingdom. It is the most practical "guide" that I have read concerning the missional lifestyle and theology. A year ago, I did a chapter by chapter summary of the book. You can click HERE and download a copy of those blog posts (if you want a quick take of the book, it is under, "chapter by chapter summary")...better yet, buy the book yourself and plow through it.
Today on Hugh's blog, he has a very snapshot of what appears to be blatantly obvious but is subtly challenging to all of us who see our primary spiritual journey as "inside the box". Hugh's community (Adullam in Denver) attempts to be able to live out a different type of journey. Remember, by viewing a different paradigm we are not implying that the "familiar" paradigm is wrong or bad. All the new paradigms do is to challenge us to look at people/communities that are doing what we are trying to do as followers of Christ in a "different" way...that different/unique paradigm is meant to inform and expand our horizons as well as provide a new snapshot of how faith communities and the Great Commission can be lived out in real life. Don't take my word for it...see for yourself!
Check out both!
