About Jason: Jason has been a part of the ministry at Granger for 7 years, leading worship and teaching in our environments for students, the midweek core, and weekend guests over that time. Now as Pastor of Arts and Teaching, he leads the team of creative and technical artists and volunteers who are responsible for the live experiences that implement Granger’s strategy for outreach. While driving the week-to-week creative process that results in weekend services, he also finds time to hit the books as he pursues his graduate degree in Theology from the University of Notre Dame. You can find his blog here.
My Notes/Thoughts:
- Your ministry might not get left out but it might get transformed.
- Story telling is how God get’s his message out to the world.
- Missional thinking says that there has to be a better way to what we are doing and worshipping God in His presence in every place on the earth. This is an interesting concept if you view the church as a “sacred space”.
- Loving people means that you love people the way that God loves them and understand that their view of love is jaded and outside of what God’s love is like.
- If people can’t see what you’re doing, they can’t be apart of it.
- Do something beautiful and let people see God manifested.
- There is a difference between beauty and style. Style doesn’t transform anything. Beauty however has a residence in the heart of God. We need to go where things resinate with the heart of God instead of just trying to look cool.
- “The church is God’s imagination for the world.”
- “Where you invest you love, you invest your life.”
I’m not going to lie, I was pretty wiped out during this session. When you listen to one speaker after another after another your brain starts to hurt. He did however have an awesome illustration using going to the bathroom and getting the light turned out on your. It was a sweet illustration. I’m stealing it.
Your the man Jason. Keep preaching it for Jesus brother!
