The gospel according to today’s spiritually open people can present some conflicting points and grey areas. Yet, if you’re a church leader, you trust that the gospel is indeed good news for everyone—even if you sometimes need help communicating and living it out in a way that is clarifying and compelling.

In this field guide from our Spiritually Open series, we’re drawing from the article, “Spiritually Open Non-Christians’ Mixed Ideas About the Gospel Message” to equip Christians for more effective conversations around specifics of faith and belief systems. We’ll dive into three areas—communication, conversation and congregation—for a well-rounded look at the opportunities to explore and fortify our Christian beliefs in community.
