In daily life, it can feel as if there’s a loss of Christianity all around you. Better put, a loss of “Christendom” from all corners. With the rise of secular ideas and the “nones” pulling away from any religion, how can you find a common ground to talk about Christianity? What ways can you reach out and speak about Christ with compassion?

Author Chad Lakies brings a new perspective to the discussion about outreach and witnessing, one that is aware of the hurt felt on both sides and aims to find healing through what Christ brings His creation. First, he acknowledges the current and rather new reality and the ways in which the church has reacted thus far. Then, he explores the challenges Christians face in today’s world and ways you can navigate these experiences. Finally, he asks you to turn back in time to the practices of the early church in order to find better ways to interact with the world today.

Let Christ’s light shine through you to your neighbors and understand how to reflect it toward others. Bridge the gap from a society that’s fractured and divided to building a community of believers who uplift each other together.
