Welcome to Season 4 of Microchurches! Thank you so much for tuning in.
We're kicking off this season with a series called Reimagining Microchurch. In this particular episode, you'll be hearing from Alan Hirsch, an influential thinker and leader in the world of missional Christianity. Alan is known for his work in helping churches and organizations to better understand and embody their missional DNA, or mDNA.
During our conversation, Alan dives into what he means by mDNA and how it is crucial for the health and effectiveness of the church. When we have a clear sense of our identity and mission as the church, we are better able to make decisions, prioritize our resources, and engage with the challenges and opportunities of the contemporary world in meaningful ways.
Alan draws on his extensive experience working with churches around the world, and provides practical advice and insights for leaders and congregations who are seeking to better understand and live out their mDNA. Whether you're a pastor, church planter, microchurch leader, or simply a follower of Jesus who is passionate about mission, this episode is sure to inspire and challenge you.
