A God-given mission is never stagnant. It demands that you evolve, adapt, and remain relevant in an ever-changing world. To fulfill your mission effectively, you must embrace the disciplines of learning, unlearning, and relearning. This process allows you to stay aligned with God’s vision while meeting the needs of your time. The Apostle Paul adapted his strategies depending on his audience—speaking in synagogues, debating in marketplaces, and even quoting local poets to spread the gospel. Your mission requires the same flexibility. Don’t cling to outdated methods when new opportunities arise to advance God’s purpose in your generation.
Look at how some of the world’s most successful companies evolve to stay relevant. Amazon started as an online bookstore but now dominates e-commerce, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. Google has transitioned into an AI-first company while maintaining its mission to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” They continually refine their approaches without losing sight of their purpose. In the same way, the great commission to teach and raise disciples must be executed using the best tools and methods available today. The mission doesn’t change, but the strategies must adapt to our times.
As you pursue your God-given mission, embrace the tools and technologies available to you. Jesus commanded His disciples to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19), and in our time, this includes leveraging social media, podcasts, and other digital platforms to spread His message. Learn what works now—study trends, understand shifting dynamics, and refine your methods. Success in your mission is not about clinging to tradition but about advancing purposefully with relevance. By updating your approaches, you remain effective and faithful, ensuring that your mission impacts the lives God has called you to touch.
