Discipleship and the missional-incarnational mDNA of the church becomes a part of the apostolic environment of the church. The environment supports the activities geared to equipping, leading, and growing the disciples. In fact, the apostolic kingdom environment defines the church and gives meaning to the structure the church.

Focusing upward toward our Creator places us in the presence of God while focusing outwardly places emphasis on others becoming a servant. Fluidity and reproduction make the apostolic environment kingdom focused through serving, worship, and being authentically in love with Jesus and the mission to make disciples.

Recommendation In a time when the church is losing numbers The Forgotten Ways is a timely addition to the church transformation conversation. Many churches today suffer from traditionalism as they still do the things they did in the past. With the ever changing world, churches must adapt in order to be more effective at carrying out the Great Commission. For the church, this means changing to meet individuals outside of the church walls.

It means taking the Gospel to the masses. Over the last four decades, the church has moved from being the center of communities to being a spoke in the wheel of life. Busyness dominates the lives of individuals as they try to accomplish more things from position to power. In fact, one could state that the world never shuts down with the advent of the internet and economic globalization. As a result, the church must now compete with other consumer needs and wants. Changing the way church is done to become more fluid and less structured allows the church to migrate more readily in an age of consumerism.

The Forgotten Ways presents an effective argument and solution to change that will move the church forward. The missional-incarnational life of the church is to find and develop Christ followers rather that church members. This suggests the need for intentional discipleship which constitutes a paradigm shift from members to disciples.
