Ann Morisy: “Mission and venturesome love: what does venturesome discipleship look like?”

Venturesome love often begins with pondering ‘Could I? Should I? Could We? Should We?’ Such pondering and commitment is at the heart of discipleship. Venturesome Christians risk powerlessness and being overwhelmed – like Jesus, who also opted to be without power and faced up to being overwhelmed. What does venturesome discipleship look like? Where do we start? Might the story-rich life that comes with being venturesome be a boon in relation to mission? Might such reflective risk-taking also open us to cascading grace in a needy world?
