She explains the significance of these Four Areas and speaks to the variety of ways local churches can engage the Four Areas. Bigham-Tsai calls them “timeless” and reminds us that it is the local church that is “on the front lines, at the grassroots of where discipleship is actually happening. The Four Areas do not “happen someplace else but right there in your local community.”
