Mission Mobilization Chats

What is God doing and saying related to formalized ministry training devoted to mission mobilization? In this episode we explore mission mobilization training and discover rationale for why it is necessary for where the Spirit is taking the global Church, while differentiating mobilization training from missiological training. Ryan also breaks down the four training schools of GMMI's Global Mobili...

Have you ever thought the Great Commission and its fulfillment is quite complicated? While a common thought, Jesus actually revealed a fairly simple strategy that is not too complicated at all. In this episode Ryan digs into Jesus' teaching of the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 and the accompanying salt and light that come from believers deliberately and purposefully seeking to grow in these core charact...

What is the Lord saying through the recent Asbury awakening? How are we to understand what God is seeking to communicate through revivals in general? In this episode Ryan looks into six highly applicable and practical areas of spiritual restorations God appears to be highlighting through this particular awakening. You will not want to miss these six important restorations God is trumpeting across...

Which type of mobilizer are you? Generally we think of a mission mobilizer in a one dimensional way instead of how God views it, as a multifaceted role in God's global purpose. In this episode Ryan teaches about seven different types of mission mobilizers, all operating as God's voices in "preparing the way of the Lord!" (Isaiah 40:3). The global Church desperately needs all seven of these types c...

In this episode Ryan shares an encounter he had with God in the summer of 2001 - 22 years ago. God revealed the important role of mission mobilization among the people of God, helping the Church overcome obstacles to become engaged in God's purposes being accomplished in the Great Commission. You don't want to miss this episode and the important timely applications that come with it.

God has a much bigger plan in His heart related to mobilizing and "scattering" His people among unreached peoples then the Church has generally understood. In this episode we consider this concept from a few Scriptural passages, allowing God's Word to envision us to dream much bigger with Him about the possibilities in the Great Commission.

The premise of this episode is that one of the reasons why still one third of the global population are in unreached people groups is because of how the global Church has understood (or misunderstood) the Great Commission and mobilization. As a result there is a need for a clear mobilization vision and strategy across the global Church. One of the ways to consider this is through the lens of "satu...

"What is the Gospel?" A basic question, right? As those mobilizing the global Church to proclaim the Gospel, it is necessary to ask what message we are mobilizing others to bear among unreached and unengaged, frontier peoples. The gospel is commonly reduced in its scope, appearing vague. This episode provides a helpful five phase roadmap for communicating God's message in its fullness, the Gospel...

Identity is fundamental to the human race. We seek identity in many things in life. Yet God wants His Church embracing the core corporate identity He has given us. Grasping our core identity answers the question, "who are we?" Knowing our core identity as the body of Christ enables us to discern what specific way each individual believer will then contribute to its outworking in the world.

In this episode we are looking at the concept of “scattering” or “sending” out our ministries into the harvest fields. The way of the Spirit compels His corporate and individual people outward—“scattering,” multiplying, reproducing ourselves. “Scattering,” then has multiple layers. It is safe to say biblically speaking every disciple of Christ is meant to “scatter” in one way or another. Let's loo...

There is a lot of talk these days about reaching the unreached and seeing movements established toward them. But what does the realization of the redemptive purpose of God actually look like from God's perspective? It seems the body of Christ is sometimes guilty of envisioning something quite different about the global harvest from what Scripture reveals. In this episode we seek to align with Jesu...

Have you ever considered mission mobilization as an entity in its own right? As an area or field of study under the larger umbrella of cross-cultural mission and Biblical missiology? It seems that the time is right to see the foundations, principles, strategies and most importantly Biblical precedence and missiology of mission mobilization being considered, even in Bible schools and seminaries as...

In this episode Ryan shares a vision he had many years ago of God raising up 100,000 mission mobilizers around the earth. He reveals who these mobilizers are and what their core message is as well as the nature of their impact on ministry structures around the world. Be encouraged to trust in God's plans and purposes of progressing the mission mobilization movement internationally forward through...

The most important questions we can ask as believers are about the processes God uses to develop His people. In mission mobilization this is a crucial question as well. It is necessary to ask, "how God's people are mobilized for mission?" What are the primary ways God uses to accomplish His mission mobilization development in the life of a church community and individual believer. In this episode...

Moving toward a more thorough, comprehensive understanding of mission mobilization in the global Church requires we highlight some core values related to it. Core values help shape and provide focus to any entity. This is necessary in helping the Church grow in mission mobilization as well. In this episode we consider six core values for mission mobilization. Each of these contain huge truths that...

Is God leading His people to see and understand mission mobilization differently then we have in the past? In this episode Ryan shares an experience he had with God a few years ago where the Lord grabbed His attention through a particular verse, Luke 5:4, applying it slightly differently than usual. Could this verse be a blueprint for how to propel the mission mobilization movement God is raising...

There is much confusion about the phrase "unreached peoples" today across the global Church. It is common to hear we are called to reach people everywhere so why focus on unreached peoples. In this episode we consider in detail what constitutes this important category of people that serves the strategic impact the Church is meant to have in the Great Commission. Doing so not only empowers the Chur...

It is important to analyze the global Church's progression in mission mobilization emphasis in history. This episode looks at one of those areas of progression through three stages in mobilization as we seek to multiply mission mobilization movements. We consider the general mobilization emphasis of the last 50-60 years being what we call "mobilization from the outside" and yet how additionally th...

God is a progressive God, unfolding His overall plans and purposes in stages. He does not do everything at once, instead steadily progressing His global Church forward in mission and mobilization over time. Due to this it is necessary to become dedicated students of where we are presently in mission mobilization and where He may be taking us next surrounding progressing in His mission mobilization...

In this episode we seek to define what mission mobilization is. There is much confusion in the body of Christ when we don't adequately define what we mean by the words we use. This is true in cross-cultural mission as well as mission mobilization, particularly when God is wanting to expand the global Church's grasp of mission mobilization in order to bring us into the fullness of our destiny.

The role of Mission Mobilizer is often misunderstood because the global Church has tended to limit and minimize who and what is a Mobilizer. We have generally failed to recognize the wide variety of people and leadership roles that fall into the category of a Mobilizer. This episode considers the five core leadership roles in the global Church (sometimes referred to as the five fold ministries) an...

Learn more about mobilization as a central theme in Scripture as Ryan teaches on how God, Jesus and Paul, three core figures in the Bible, were all, in their essence, Mission Mobilizers. Mobilization, Mobilizer, even the word Mission is often criticized as never occurring in the BIble. While this is true, the concepts of each are consistently found. Even constituting the bulk of the entire Biblica...

Local Ministries prioritizing the Great Commission possess three overarching purposes. These three are to Educate, Inspire and Activate every disciple within their church or ministry in the Great Commission. In this episode we look at an overview of these three purposes, breaking them down so we clearly grasp what they are, providing some examples of each.

In this episode we want to look at a Biblical blueprint God wants to use as part of His mobilization process among all believers globally. We consider Isaiah 6:1-8 and the shaping process God led Isaiah through to prepare Him to be ready to respond as His mouthpiece. It reveals the exact same process God will use with you and I and millions of other believers to mobilize and equip them in His Grea...

Local ministry leaders possess an essential responsibility before God. They are entrusted by God to "equip the saints for the work of ministry," including involvement in the Great Commission. Most local ministry leaders, however, are not actively engaged with this part of what they have been entrusted with. This episode considers this important subject of the central role of mission mobilization f...
