S3 Ep13: People don't trust the Church, but they trust Jesus.

71% of Americans have a positive opinion of Jesus, while 47% of Americans have a positive opinion Churches in their community. What's the disconnect? Since our mission is to advance human flourishing through the Church - this stat from the Barna Group really stood out to us. Why don't people have a positive opinion of Churches? What can the Church do about it? What can we do about it? Do our churches not reflect Jesus? All these questions led our team to turn the podcast mics on and hash it out. We want you to join in the conversation - so head on over to instagram or youtube and let us know what you think - what could help change people's opinion of churches?
