Growing up, it was important to get into college.
This was because, so the logic goes, if one gets into a college, their education and future have some assurance and stability.
But obviously, that’s not all there is to the story. If schooling were an end to itself, many graduates were left asking on graduation day: what comes next?
A similar dynamic applies to missions.
We must remember the mission is the context for all developed theology in the New Testament. Not the other way around.
As Martin Kähler famously noted, “Missions is the mother of theology.”
What if we let momma missions have her car back?
