I'm traveling this week, so I've got a reply of the second-most-downloaded Unchurched episode of all time! Enjoy!
What does it really mean to love your neighbor—not just in theory, but in their mess? In this episode, I sit down with Austin Habash from Sent Evangelization, and we talk about what happens when we actually step out and meet people where they are. How knocking on doors leads to praying with strangers, and how helping with small needs opens the way for grace. Austin shares stories that are raw, beautiful, and deeply human. If you've ever felt the tug to do something more, to bring Jesus to your neighborhood in a real and personal way, this conversation will inspire you and give you a path forward. You don't have to be perfect—you just have to show up.

Don't miss this special episode where I share some powerful stories on God and writing down what you want in life.
Most unchurched people have some past connection to church—often from childhood. Our research found that 63% of the unchurched used to attend regularly. Their current indifference isn't based on ignorance; it's often rooted in real, past experiences. This means our efforts to reach them aren't starting from zero. In this episode, Thom and Sam unpack what it means to engage the "dechurched"—those who've drifted away—and why this group might be more receptive than you think. The post The Unknown Connection Most Unchurched Have with the Church appeared first on Church Answers.
In this episode, we take a dive into religion vs spirituality, plus learning to love like Jesus did...
