How to Reach the “Spiritual But Not Religious”
Phylicia Masonheimer
We all know someone who is “spiritual, but not religious,” uninterested in organized religion. This session will explore how to talk about the gospel to those who prefer a customizable and subjective spirituality, and how their Christianity actually answers the desires of their hearts. You’ll leave this session understanding why people are averse to organized religion, how to meet them with both compassion and truth, and how to communicate Christian doctrine and history in tough conversations.
