Not Another Small Group: How to Build a Missional Family

32 minutes

Starting a missional community from scratch doesn’t mean rallying your friends for another weekly meeting or trying to sell people on “doing life together.” It begins with something much deeper—and much closer to home.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I’ll talk about what it really looks like to start a true missional community that feels like family and lives on mission together in the everyday stuff of life. If you’ve ever longed for more than just rows and routines, this one's for you.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

What sets a missional community apart from typical small groups or Bible studies.

Why you don’t need permission or a program to start something new.

Why it starts with your own family rhythms, not a church calendar.

7 practical steps to begin forming a community that lives like family and makes disciples.

From this episode:

"Mission happens in the normal stuff of life, with new friends and disciples in tow, with the Good News dripping out of your mouth and being proclaimed in every step, bite of food, and breath you take. The life you’ve dreamed of is possible… and it starts around your own dinner table. You will love this new lifestyle!"
