Oikos Strategy

Each one of us lives at the intersection of four worlds: biological, vocational, geographical, and volitional. The biological world consists of people related to me by blood or marriage (siblings, mothers, fathers, in-laws, etc.). Coworkers and business associates comprise one’s vocational world. The geographical world includes immediate community, such as neighbors. The volitional world is a world of my choice—that is, leisurely activities, sports, hobbies, etc.

Oikos consists of a mindset that identifies our concentric circles of people and seeks to include them in a lasting relational fellowship.
