engaging with the world ...
... engaging with the world ...
when we say "world" ... what do we mean? Is it a question of pure geography ... or is it more than that? ... and if it is more than just where we are, then what does it mean to engage with it?
engage - rugby players do it in a scrum ... soldiers do it on the battle field ... lovers do it in the midst of proposal ... politicians do it in the midst of their campaign ... are these helpful pictures?
... so ... while we're at it, what do we mean by "engaging" ... and who are we expecting to be doing the engaging?
Would love to hear your thoughts ... it might help in my prep!

This means I would look at their culture, how they access the world around them, their expressions and language. Then I have to think about how I am going to "translate" the gospel into their setting.
At the end of the day engagement can only happen when they understand what you are saying.
Well, I don't know if that small thought will help or hinder, but I will just so happen to be at the event... making coffee. Will be great to see you there!
