What's the word embedded in "submission"? It's mission. Where do we get our mission from? From listening to others.
"Sub" means to set under
"Mission" means to cause to go
Today you might spend say five minutes listening to a story from a person you're not sure has eternal life. How might you submit to their mission in this world and interlay it with the hope and power of the gospel? What would that change of your objectives in a normal everyday conversation?
Michael Frost never connected the idea of "submission" with the concept of "listening" in the video below. Nevertheless I would like to offer the suggestion. Frost says that mission cannot be incarnated out of our own interests. Incarnation comes through intimate-knowing the people you want to reach.
