Andy Stanley is right. In a post-Christian world that does not accept the authority of the Bible, starting a conversation with your unchurched friends or family with “the Bible says” is not adequate. Tell them how Jesus made your life better first, then discuss the Bible.

Hey Church Leaders! Being "relevant" isn't about moving lights, the latest music, drone shots in your countdown video, or skinny jeans. You're relevant when you meet the needs of the people in your community. Find out what people need, then meet that need. Be relevant.
