Reaching spiritually open non-Christians is an exciting opportunity for the Church, but to draw them to faith effectively, we need to understand what’s keeping this cohort of non-Christians away from churches right now. New Barna data offers clarity.
We gave spiritually open non-Christians a list of statements pertaining to Christianity and spirituality, to discover which resonated most.
• 24% completely agreed with the statement, “I feel like I have heard everything church leaders have to teach.”
• 34% chose, “The Church does not answer my questions.”
• 36% said, “I feel like my beliefs aren’t aligned with most of the Christians I know.”
But the most popular response by far wasn’t directly focused on Christianity at all:
• 51% of U.S. teens and adults completely agree with the statement “I prefer to distance myself from the politics of the Church.”
This #BarnaHighlight comes from our Spiritually Open series. For more data and resources on reaching those who are spiritually open and curious, visit the Evangelism channel in Barna Access Plus. https://t.co/GAkKsktO3M
We long for belonging and acceptance, but we reach for gossip and badmouthing. We long for relevance and influence, but we reach for power and politics. We long for a good rest, but we reach for sleeping pills. And the list goes on and on.
There are areas in our lives where we have deep longings, but very shallow 'reachings'. @alberttate
We long for respect, but we reach for control. We long for authenticity, but we reach for selfishness. We long for true love and intimacy, but we reach for lust and cheap sex. 👇🏻
“What the heart loves, the will chooses and the mind justifies.” Ashley Null
We might be completely missing the point if our Theology is driven by that first premise.
“Follow your heart?” Not really.
“The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out. But I, God, search the heart and examine the mind... I get to the root of things. I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be.” Jeremiah 17:9-10 MSG
Let this sink in: there are 24 thousand cities in the USA & Canada, yet 50% of their entire population live in only 20 of those cities. @NADadventist
