If most people currently avoid church (they do), how might the church change
to be more welcoming to these exiles?
This was a critical question as my wife Joani and I set out to research the culture before we wrote our new book, Why Nobody Wants to Go to Church Anymore. We landed on four things that people today would like to find in a church.
In my last post I identified four reasons that people avoid church. The flipside of these things form what, in the book, we call the "Four Acts of Love." These are the things that we find people craving, what they wish the church, the Body of Christ, would provide:
Radical Hospitality
Fearless Conversation
Genuine Humility
Divine Anticipation
In coming posts here I'll preview each of these Acts of Love. Today I'll start with Radical Hospitality. In our research for the book we found that most congregations believe their churches are friendly and hospitable. But they tend to make that critique based on cosmetic things that most people don't equate with a true welcome...
