In response, I came up with another question: What ARE the Unchurched Asking?
10 Questions the Unchurched ARE Asking:
1. Is there anyone in this church like me?
2. Will they accept me here?
3. Is it going to be a long and boring service?
4. Can I make a difference with my life and counteract injustice through this church?
5. Are they going to judge me at this church?
6. What do they have for my kids?
7. Will I find meaning and purpose for my life here?
8. Will the roof cave in or lightning strike when I walk in this church?
9. Can I ask hard questions about God in this place and feel safe sharing my doubts?
10. Will someone teach me about the Bible - it's principles and stories - and show me how to apply it to my life because I'm really interested in what it says and I really want to know more about Jesus - who he is and what he's all about.
