Trending #3: Feel Good News - Dave Newton

How do we share the gospel relevantly with the next generation, without changing the message?

This is the great challenge the church must continually wrestle with, learning to communicate timeless truths in captivating ways. But… that’s easier said than done, right!? 😅

Research into the ‘signs of the times’ can be incredibly helpful as we consider how adapt our outreach as culture shifts. And that’s why Dave Newton, National Director of Scripture Union, joined us for a chat about Feel Good News, a piece of research intohow young people across the UK respond to the Christian message. It’s the largest and most comprehensive work done in this field in this century, so is well worthy of our attention! 🔥

We wrestle with a lot of profound, and at times challenging, implications here, including…  

✅ Apathy 

✅ God & Love

✅ Hope & Purpose 

✅ Community 

✅ Justice  

✅ Suffering

… and loads more! 

Jesus’ challenge to his disciples in Matthew 16 was to read the ‘signs of the times’: to listen, to learn and better understand in order to discern the missional environment. The conversation is an opportunity to do just that. 👌
