Episode 55: How Do We Hear the Voice of the Unaffiliated?

In this episode, Chris and John ask the question how we as Church leaders connect with those are not coming to Church and have chosen to disaffiliate. We have a desire and a call to reach those not hearing the message of Christ, but responding to that call is easier said than done.

In this episode, we explore how we might be able to do this better.
