and progressive and mostly knowledge-based

“Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the
apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors
and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people
to do his work and build up the church, the body of
Christ.” (Eph 4:11-12)

Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God
authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train
everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by
baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then
instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with
you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the
age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

Challenge: Very Resource Intensive
• Expertise (Life-driven vs. Head)
• Availability (Time, Place)
