All of God’s people are sent people, and if your feet are standing on soil then God has sent you to that place to His glory and for His great purpose. Two years ago, I entered my ministry internship…
We’re excited to share a resource that’s been many years in the making. But, How Do We Do It? comes as a result of many years of consulting with churches looking to be faithful to their mandate to make disciples…
I am constantly asking if I am I the type of person I want to see reproduced. As missionaries entering into God’s mission we will face temptation similar to the ones Jesus faced. The first one we see is…
Maybe culturally accepted religious practice and the “return to Judeo-Christian values” many yearn for have done more harm than good to people's pursuit of true holiness and understanding of the life of following Jesus. Peter writes the following to…
In this episode of The Saturate Podcast, Brad talks with Todd Morr (Director of International Partnerships with Saturate) about the smallest and often forgotten aspect of missional community life: the individual person. Also, check out our new resource by…
Jesus is sending us out among wolves, and whether it be losing friends or losing our lives, He is letting us know the cost up front. “I will never leave you. I will never forsake you. I am here…
Here at Saturate we don't just create new resources, but we collect the best resources from across the Church. We hope all the resources we cultivate and curate serve to equip everyday people, leaders, and pastors to be disciples of…
When I was six, my dad told me, “Son, you have a God-given talent.” I just finished my first football game and had a good game. For better or worse, those words shaped my identity for years. I doubt…
(Part two in the Everyday Sabbath Rest series from David Achata.) The Holy Spirit grows people so they can work from a rested place. We’re prone to unbelief. Doubting God is in charge and that He’ll care for the needs of…
Each year after the NFL season ends, two things happen. First, a champion emerges. Second, all the other teams evaluate themselves based on what made the champions successful. Whether they won due to a defensive-minded team, or had a fast-paced…
What did Christ’s life and death bring that empowers you and me to live confidently as God’s strong helpers (Genesis 2:18) in a broken world? Although the gospel is a bigger concept than one blog post this size can…
Recently in our Saturate Online Community discussion forum a question was proposed:”Why don’t we talk about Jesus in our normal, everyday conversations?” I believe this is a layered challenge rooted with varying levels of fears, unbelief, lack of equipping,…

Yes, we can pretend to have it all together while sitting in a pew on Sunday or while impressing one another with our knowledge of Scripture. But mission exposes our inadequacies and need for grace. If you are in a small Bible…
What if? What if the worst-case scenario happens? The single mom steals some silverware, the foster child hits you with a toy, the homeless person steals your wallet? What then? We live in a risky world. The American church seems…
(You can read the next part in the How Do We Do It series here.) How does your community move from sitting quietly and neatly in a comfortable living room to engaging the people of your city with the…
Whether you’re a student, a stay-at-home mom, or a white-collar executive, most of your life is spent working. Whatever your work, this means your Christian identity is almost always being formed under unideal and inconvenient circumstances. In times past,…
As your Facebook feed fills your heart with a zeal that borders anger, you will likely wonder: What can I do? The refugee crisis cannot be ignored. It’s found in every newspaper in every corner of the world. Politicians win…
There is and always has been an individual and communal aspect to mission. Mission is done in community. A community shares the load of the mission of making disciples. It takes a group to demonstrate Jesus to others. A…
What God has done to us, He wants to do through us. We have the Spirit of God in us so that we might be empowered, just as Jesus was. We are His missionaries, filled and anointed by His…
We’re here. The new year—2017. What is one thing you hope to look back at this time next year and say, “Look at what God did!”? Answer this question in the comment section for the chance to win one of…
Where are the dry places that need life? Habakkuk 2:14 tells us a day is coming when the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord will fill the earth like the water covers the sea. Recently I woke early…
Focusing too early on what I think they should do can actually rob them of the creative thinking and self-discovery they actually need. One of my life’s great passions is seeing others unleashed for the mission of God. I find…
(Part seven in the Recovering Missional Moxie series from Alan Hirsch. Read part eight here.) Much real life, relationships, and spiritual meaning can be added by simplifying our lives to engage more fully in life. Throughout many years of being involved in…
Prayerful Planning for the Extrovert (and Introvert)
In the world of missional communities and church-planting, there’s a real misconception that to be effective you’ve got to be blowing the doors off your house every week. I wasn’t born a planner, but out of necessity I’ve gotten…
Start with this; What do you love, like, enjoy? Go do it, and redeem the time by inviting others into what you love to do. Just as Paul made his walk through the Shrines and Altars of Athens, we…
(Part five in the Recovering Missional Moxie series from Alan Hirsch. Read part six here.) If we are to be effective agents of God’s kingdom in this world, we need to be freed to see His kingdom express itself everywhere and…
Cultural celebrations are not man-made institutions. Like much of God’s creation, holidays can be—and have been—distorted for all sorts of less-than-holy purposes. But what if “Santa” really isn’t an anagram for “Satan”? What if we can we redeem this…
Guest post by Rankin Wilbourne. Until you grasp and live out of your union with Christ, the Bible’s call to holiness will be oppressive, unbearable, and impossible. Imagine a “great Christian” day. You start the day early in prayer. You…
Life has rhythms. Learning to go with these rhythms was how Jesus organized His life. Jesus criticized His opponents in this area once by saying, “You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you…
I live unbound to the ideas of who I think I should be; instead I choose to be who God created me to be. “Let your light shine before others so that they see your good deeds and glorify…
Gospel saturation is happening across the globe. I have the privilege of traveling the world to equip everyday folks in the gospel ... from church leaders, young people, to ministries and organizations ... here are some of those stories. Australia: Learn…
Getting believers to obey God together in the midst of non-Christians is one of the most powerful witnesses to the gospel we have. I recently sat down with Brian Daniel from LifeWay's Groups Ministry blog to talk about helping churches and…
Walking through life with people – sharing in the day to day. Several years ago we went to San Diego for three weeks to visit my family. While there, I kept thinking about my new friend, I missed her and…
Listen. Bless. Serve. Enjoy. July in Washington means the wet clouds have been chased away by longer sunny days, the Northwest hibernators are coming out of their caves. Summer in the Pacific Northwest is the best time to meet…
