5 Reasons Why the Attractional Church Is Still Relevant

2. People crave practical application.

If I were a pastor, this would remind me that I can’t just stop at offering biblical truth. I can’t just offer altar calls and assume people will take appropriate next steps with their behaviors.

I would have to give specific, practical examples of how that truth plays out in daily life.

3. People want their leaders to reveal their secret lives.

That’s what demonstrates authenticity and builds trust.

If I were a pastor, my messages would be filled with personal stories of how the principles I’m teaching have impacted my life. And, I would continue pursuing holiness so that my secret life can be made public.

4. People will invite their friends when they have a reason to invite their friends.

This article was shared on Facebook by over 2,500 people. The reason I had so many “visitors” to my site in the last couple of days is because friends invited friends.

If I were a pastor, I’d make sure we were teaching messages that caused people to invite their friends. If the church has stopped growing, the most obvious question should be: Why have people stopped inviting their friends? (By the way, it’s not their fault. When invitations stop happening, it’s your fault.)
