I Once Was Lost: Understanding the Postmodern Skeptic’s Path to Faith
Tuesday, February 10, 2009, 3:30pm-5:00pm, Sheffield
How do people come to Jesus in today’s postmodern culture?  Over the last decade Don Everts and Doug Schaupp have listened to the stories of over two thousand people who have come to follow Jesus.  While the stories were all diverse and varied, certain common themes began to emerge.  The better we understand these “Five Thresholds” that most postmodern skeptics cross on their way to faith, the more natural and relaxed… and even fruitful our witness can become.  Come hear an overview of the “Five Thresholds” and stimulate your own thinking about how people come to faith these days, and what that means for our own relationships and ministries.
