Cafe Theme: Evangelism Shift

Andy Root joins us again for the Church Now Cafe. Andy’s ideas from his book, Evangelism in an Age of Despair, will bring us face to face with the reality that our all-out pursuit of happiness has made us stressed, anxious, lonely, and depressed.  In our focus on making ourselves happy, we have instead left ourselves with empty souls. Andy will invite us into a vision of evangelism as caring for the soul - a caring that brings hope out of our sorrow and draws people into a life of gospel flourishing.  If you and your congregation are looking for a way to connect with those who are trying to navigate sad and hard times and the deep loneliness that makes our culture, you will want to be part of this year’s cafe. You won’t want to miss “Evangelism Shift” and the great conversations that flow from Andy’s insights into North American Culture.
