I have been teaching seminary classes off and on for a few years now (back as far as 2009... 2008 if one includes student teaching).

“Sexy” Missions and Marketing, Part 3
<Continuation of thoughts on what makes some missions more “sexy” than others… not a recommendation to do things this way. Just noting this reality. Machiavelli, in The Prince, gave concepts of the way politics IS, but NOT necessarily the way it SHOULD BE. I will give some conclusions as to what I think Missions should …
