Introduction to the Incarnational Framework
The Incarnational Framework is a diagnostic tool designed for those who are called to free leaders from all walks of life to create cities of peace for all people. It is a framework that asks questions, not a curriculum that gives answers. Street Psalms uses it to hold itself accountable to its mission. It’s how we measure our impact. It’s shared by hub directors in our network to help them examine their own approach to freeing leaders. It functions as a rule of life for those who are ordained with Street Psalms, and informs all of our initiatives and programs.

The first time I spoke the words above in a community reading, written as a benediction, I noticed they kept out the last part of the second verse in Isaiah 61, “…and the day of vengeance of our God.” I was quick to judge this hermeneutical decision and assumed that the liturgists were exercising some sort of comfortable or convenient pacifism (consider this anecdote the confession of my 20-something self, who of course knew everything back then).
