The challenge to church leaders today is the call to transform church from an “event” to a place to learn and grow. We need to discover new pathways into culture and know how to use them to not just convert, but transform lives. Learn these eight cultural pathways and discover how to work with other churches for outreach instead of competing with them. Restructuring our thinking to invade, not avoid, culture is vital for church health and survival. 

Based on the numbers, evangelism appears to be a failed project: About 90% of Christians do not participate in any form of evangelism, and 75% of the non-Christian population is virtually ignored (Barna Research). Learn how to engage the 90% with ordinary attempts that are fun and doable for anyone, and reclaim evangelism as a spiritual practice. Discover why counting conversations instead of conversions is more effective.

Christianity has an image problem—and that perception is a huge roadblock to evangelism. Recent research shows that many outside of Christianity, especially younger adults, have little trust in the Christian faith, and that esteem for the lifestyle of Christ followers is quickly fading among outsiders. Learn why today’s seekers don’t like evangelical Christianity, what can be done about that truth, and how we can offer a simple life model to pass on to others.
