Welcome to Seek First Ministries.  It is our greatest burden and calling to be a source of encouragement to the Christian community as we collectively seek first the righteousness of God and His kingdom.  We are convicted that much of what we do is more connected with this world than it is with God's kingdom and glory. If we are to be the body of Christ- salt and light to this world, we must be set apart, made holy, radically changed by Christ to reveal the glory of Christ. 

For many of us, we were given a religious model that affords a relationship with God through Christ and at the same time remain connected to this world.  Yet, in our entanglement in this world, many of us have never denied self in order to come to Christ.  A statement that sums it up well:  Many people willingly wear a cross around their neck and associate themselves with a "Christian belief."  However, very few have truly denied self, nailed themselves to the cross and become one in Christ.  Perhaps the late Jim Elliot who died on the mission field said it best, "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose." 

In the Apostle Paul's inspired words...

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God..." (Galatians 2:20 NKJV)

We pray that you find this site helpful in your encouragement to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8). 


We are excited to share with you our combined video/pdf teaching series based on Joe's book The Missional Life. It is a ten-week series that will highlight a video intro along with a 3 to 5 page pdf study. The complete series will be made available September 1, 2010 via download and dvd through Seek First Media.

Lesson 1 (above) provides the foundational understanding of what it means to be missional for Christ.
