Listed below is sample of the teaching from our most recent intensive. Note that not every session was recorded and because of the interactive nature of much of what we do you may find it hard to hear in places.
The simple solution is get along and hear it firsthand!
Where there are powerpoint presentations available they have been uploaded to the respective talks (Geoff & Sherry's PP actually covered all 4 of their sessions)
Thanks to Richard who kindly recorded the event for us. Alan challenges us to take innovation seriously rather than just the 'early adoption' of new ideas.
Thanks to Rod Olsen of Sonhine FM , we can access two audio interviews, one with Alan Hirsch on his latest book The Forgotten Ways and one with Mike Frost on his book Exiles.
Content from the actual weekend can be accessed via 'Idea Ripple'. The talks below were all presented at the interns gathering on the two days following the summit.
The 8 Jesus' You Probably Won't Meet in Church - (Andrew Hamilton) Here Andrew compares the Jesus of suburbia to the Jesus of the Bible and asks - why do they seem so different?
The Missional Incarnational Impulse - (Alan Hirsch) In this talk Alan summarises the critical dimension of mission that will enable a movement to spread.
Jesus Paradigm of Mission - (Deb Hirsch) Deb shows how Jesus approaches mission from a 'centred set' perspective rather than a bounded set perspective.
Gospel and Culture (Mark Sayers) Mark shares insights into why western culture is in its current state and how we as the church can connect
Communitas not Community - (Alan Hirsch) Alan shows that the end game is not community, but a 'communitas', the sense of comaraderie that emerges from a shared adventure.
I have a Dream - (Steve Said) Mission is about seeing God's transforming dream for the world become a reality. Steve digs into the OT and shows where our mission comes from
Jesus Made Me Do It - (Steve Said) Steve looks at the Jesus of mission and shows how critical it is that we follow a Jesus not made in our own image, but a Jesus as depicted in the Bible.
