Innovative Focus: Forming Community. We are more connected than ever, yet never more lonely. We have hundreds of “virtual friends”, but very few “true friends”. For many, this problem of isolation has only gotten worse during the current pandemic. That said, loving relationships with God and others are at the core of what defines The Church and Jesus Followers. Jesus even said that our embodiment of His sacrificial love towards others was how the World would know we are His (John 13:34-35). So how do we begin to chip away at this pandemic of social and spiritual isolation? Well one approach is to make use of a universal truth that seems to transcend, age, culture, race, gender, and creed… that people love sharing a meal together, especially a good one! For the past couple of years I have had a minor obsession with honing my “hospitality game”. This has been spurred on by the discovery of sous vide cooking technology. It has enabled me cook Meaty Main Dishes that rival anything you would get in a 4-Star Restaurant, with little to no skill, and for a fraction of the price! For several of my friends, my cooking has now become a celebratory event that they wait for with anticipation. More than the meal though is what the culinary experience fosters and forms: Community. I have now personally taught many others this simple skill and have decided to share my insights with you as well. I call it: Missional Meats To learn how to take your hospitality to the next level and start to stem the tide of this pandemic of social isolation, click the button below and join the Missional Meats Movement today! (I will also be doing a “missional meat of the month” going forward, which you can also find below.)
