The Story Behind The Breadcrumb Adventure.

This podcast has (sort of) been a long time in coming. In the summer of 2020, we began reading up on missional communities. Both of us got excited about the potential of living out discipleship not just in our home, but out in our community (you know, like Jesus asked us to do in Matt. 28:19-20). We’ve spent a lot of time thinking it through and we have developed a model for missional families. Now we’re documenting our adventure as we dive into living out the model in 2022.

We’ve been implementing our missional plans in fits and starts for awhile now, but as we begin another year, we’re ready to really take the plunge. You’re invited to come along with us–whether you want to try it out, learn from our mistakes, pray us along, or even just keep tabs on what we’re up to. We can’t promise to succeed in all our goals, but we will promise to be honest, open, practical, and real.
