Webinar: Preaching to Those Who Are Walking Away

 

What do people want to experience in church? How do we bring back the ones who prefer to stream the service at home wearing their pajamas and sipping coffee? How do we fill the pews with younger adults and families?

​

Our culture has dramatically shifted in how we communicate. People aren't getting what they need out of passive listening to someone behind a pulpit. Many proclaim that they are spiritual, not religious, and that they are not having spiritual experiences in church.

 

Are we telling our members where they need to be, or are we addressing the struggles they're having in getting there? Are we creating an environment where people can experience God?

​

Jim Kitchens, a consultant for The Center for Healthy Churches, and The Rev. Dr. Graham Standish explore ways to move from a passive, intellectually oriented sermon to a message that speaks to your listeners' emotions and need to grow spiritually.
