We are excited to announce a new partnership that has developed for the MMP community. We are officially partnering with Missio Alliance! Exciting times are ahead for MMP as we get to be part of a bigger conversation with an amazing cohort of diverse thinkers and writers. Check out the Mission Alliance website to learn more: https://www.missioalliance.org/podcasts.

In this episode, Doug and J.R. have a conversation with Dave Bindewald about the importance of play and exploration. Many of us have been hijacked by starting the gospel in Genesis 3, but we must begin in Genesis 1 with God’s “ridiculously good” goodness. It’s with this theological framework in which he places the importance of play and exploration as part of our formation as people. Get ready to have some major ah-ha moments.
