Irresistible - Reclaiming the New that Jesus Unleashed for the World
Once upon a time there was a version of our faith that was practically.... Irresistible.
But that was then.
Today an increasing number of ex-church-attenders identify as "nones." The New Atheists insist Christianity is acutally harmful to society. "The Bible says..." doesn't carry the weight it once did and thanks to our digital world, folks know "what else" the Bible says without even picking up a Bible.
In spite of this, we preach, teach, write, and communicate as if nothing has changed. As if "The Bible says it," still settles it.
According to author and church leader Andy Stanley, it's time to hit pause on much of what we're doing and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and, humanly speaking, little chance of survival.
What did they know that we don't?
