The Unchurched Are Not Angry with You (But They Are Indifferent)

---

---

Why don’t unchurched people attend church? It’s not because they’re mad or too busy. The top reason is simple: they just don’t see the point. Indifference is the enemy of engagement. In today’s episode, Josh and Sam share why that’s actually good news—and how the combination of spiritual conviction and a personal invitation can break through the apathy.

1. 1. Don’t argue with indifference—disrupt it with love and presence.
   2. Personal invitations still work and remain the #1 reason people attend.
   3. Start with a relationship, not a program.
   4. Pray for spiritual openness—then act on it with intentionality.
