What is Missional Living?

What is Missional Living?

Description

In this episode, Whitney sits down with Downtown leaders Paul Gaeto and Bo Patterson to unpack what it means to live missionally. They explore how serving vulnerable people often requires stepping into discomfort, awkwardness, and sacrifice—but also leads to joy, spiritual growth, and a deeper experience of God’s Kingdom.

Key Points

  1. Living on mission can often feel awkward and uncomfortable—but that discomfort is part of spiritual growth.
  2. Curiosity and intentionality help believers notice the needs around them.
  3. Missional living starts by praying for opportunity, courage, and wisdom, then taking a step forward in faith.
