Michael Frost, author of Exiles and the upcoming, Jesus the Fool: The Mission of the Uncoventional Christ, is currently touring the U.S.

Frost is also the co-author of The Shaping of Things to Come and ReJesus with missional co-conspirator Alan Hirsch and serves as Vice Principal of Morling College and founding Director of the Tinsley Institute, a mission study center located at Morling College in Sydney, Australia.

As a part of his tour, Frost is speaking at local churches and this past Sunday, he spoke at Village Baptist Church in Portland on “Principles of Missional Living” from Acts 8. You can listen to the audio here.

John Johnson, lead pastor of VBC and also Associate Professor of Pastoral Theology, Director of Doctor of Ministry program, Western Seminary, reflects on Frost’s visit here.

For kicks, here is a full-length video from Frost that I’ve posted before. This is one of the best explanations of the missional church out there:
