Movements Require Kingdom Thinking, not Marketplace Thinking

In a lot of ways, churches (and ministries/movements, etc.–mine) operate like the marketplace; we keep our ideas and strategies and talent and experience (good and bad) to ourselves. It mostly makes sense in the marketplace, where that kind of proprietary, scarcity mentality is often the edge on the competition. But in the church (or in movement building–mine), it’s not Kingdom, it’s not wise, and it’s not effective.

    Jay,

    You are so right on. The Kingdom is about collaboration, sharing, and cooperation. We are all one global body of Jesus followers. Hopefully the tremendous success of Web 2.0 applications like YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter will encourage us to adopt a Kingdom 2.0 mindset going forward.
