Overview
During the Radical Experiment we are committing to five specific challenges:
- To pray for the entire world
- To read through the entire Word
- To commit our lives to multiplying community
- To sacrifice our money for a specific purpose
- To give our time in another context
See Explanation and Overview videos for the Radical Experiment.
Pray for the entire world
Through a prayer emphasis that revolves around Operation World, we will pray together for the entire world over the course of a year.
Read through the entire Word
Using a chronological Bible Reading plan, we will read through the entire Bible together as a faith family. Daily devotional guides, weekly family worship times, small group discussions, and our worship gatherings will all be coordinate around our readings in the Word.
Commit our lives to multiplying community
We will commit ourselves wholeheartedly to the local church. But even deeper than that, we will commit ourselves to a small group that is intentionally sharing, showing, and teaching the Word while serving the world together.
Sacrifice our money for a specific purpose
For the next year, we will look at all of our expenses as a church, individuals and families through the lens of specific need in the world. We will work to set a cap on our lifestyles so that we can free up as much of our resources as possible for the sake of the glory of Christ in His church, among the lost, and among the poor.
Spend our time in another context
As we continue to give the majority of our time to making disciples right here in Birmingham, we will commit, as individuals and families, to give 2% (one week) of our time in Gospel ministry outside of Birmingham for the sake of God’s glory in all the world.
