Good News for the 'Spiritual but not Religious' #2

from Grace Plus Nothing Book Fellowship · host Bernie

What do people mean when they say, “I’m spiritual but not religious”? And why does it change the way they hear the Gospel?In this second of two episodes, we map the rising world of the Nones, the SBNR, and what Tara Isabella Burton calls the “Remixed”—a culture moving from inherited faith to customized meaning. We’ll show why “none” doesn’t always mean “nothing,” why spirituality is often treated like a personal toolkit, and how many people are rebuilding the sacred on their own terms—both outside religion and even inside it.Then we draw the line that matters most: the Gospel is not something we get by looking within. It’s something given—from outside of us—because God has acted in Jesus Christ. If you want to understand your neighbors, listen well, and speak to SBNR friends with clarity and gentleness, these episodes are for you.

Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”).
