Aug 20, 2024

James Emery White, the founding pastor of Mecklenburg Community Church and author of The Rise of the Nones, dives into the dynamics of a post-Christian culture. He discusses the rise of 'nuns'—those with no religious affiliation—and explores why young people seem disinterested in faith. Insightfully, he emphasizes the need for adapting our approach to evangelism, focusing on genuine engagement and addressing cultural concerns. He also highlights the importance of language and grace in reaching today's generation, especially Generation Z.
