Matt Brough's delightful book, Let God Send offers a biblically sound approach to God's call and our response in discipleship and ministry in the world. Filled with personal anecdotes, reflections on ministry, and practical theology, this book will prove helpful to all who seek their life's calling.-Grace Ji-Sun Kim, professor of theology at Earlham School of Theology and author of several books, most recently, Hope in Disarray and Embracing the Other.
Sending and being sent are significant and frequent themes in Scripture. Tracing the life of Abraham, Gideon, the disciples of Jesus, and other biblical figures, Matt reminds us that God's call still extends to us today. Equipped with authority and the promise of God's presence, being sent is not just what we do; it's also who we are. This book offers clarity, challenge, encouragement, and - maybe best of all - the permission to accept God's divine call on our lives to go.-J.R. Briggs, Author of The Sacred Overlap, Founder of Kairos Partnerships
Brough will guide you through the invitation every one of us has to join God's work in the world. God sends and commissions us all and gives us authority in the name of Jesus no matter who we are, what we've done, or what has been done to us. Let God Send is the perfect companion for those who are ready to cross whatever boundaries are necessary to make a move led by God's Spirit.-Stephanie Williams O'Brien, Author of Stay Curious and Make a Move
Matt Brough reminds us that one cannot be a disciple of Jesus without embracing becoming an apostle as well. Christendom tried to push apostleship to the rear view. Brough, in Let God Send, is an essential voice in helping us all to bring it back to the front.-Nick Warnes, Executive Director of Cyclical Inc. and co-author of Starting Missional Churches
"In an era of confusion and chaos such as we now find ourselves, voices like Matt Brough are needed more than ever. He is committed to fostering incisive conversations on spirituality that are accessible to almost anyone. You should listen to what he has to say."-Jonathan Merritt, contributing writer for The Atlantic and author of Learning to Speak God from Scratch
Pastor and Church Planter Matthew Brough once again provides thoughtful and engaging work to help us discover anew God's call upon both our lives and this beloved, yet broken world. Brough offers us hope that in our "sentness" we are not left on our own, but rather we participate and are transformed by what Jesus is doing in our midst - reconciling, redeeming and restoring life in all its abundance. You will put this book down ready and eager for your next assignment from God.-Ross Lockhart, Dean of St. Andrew's Hall, Vancouver
