Engaging the Spiritually Open

An Unprecedented Opportunity to Share Jesus

Cultural shifts and changing perceptions of the Church and Christians have contributed to a decline in church attendance in the U.S. Despite this, many adults remain open and curious about spirituality, maintaining a positive view of Jesus. This openness presents a significant opportunity for evangelism, discipleship, and spiritual formation.

Engaging the Spiritually Open, created in partnership with Come Near, is designed to help leaders and laypeople:

• Engage in spiritual conversations with empathy and attentive listening
• Ask thoughtful questions to understand personal backstories
• Understand the deconstruction trend and how to navigate people’s doubts, disappointments, and disillusionment with God and the Church
• Support the spiritually curious on their journey toward faith

Additionally, this journal includes a comprehensive Field Guide for Pastors. It offers tools to reflect on your own faith journey, inspire your congregation to connect with the spiritually open, and create opportunities for discipleship and faith formation.

Barna’s research highlights an unprecedented chance for the Church to adopt a posture of humility and respond to the growing spiritual curiosity among U.S. adults. If you’re eager to share your passion for Jesus and walk alongside those exploring spirituality and faith, this report will equip you for the journey.
